MoeFOH Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 2nd Grand Final Qualifier of the best Film/Text series - Star Wars is through, who'll join it... LOTR or James Bond? You know the drill: read the question, vote on the poll, elaborate in the thread if you so desire. Voting participants go into the draw for an El Pres sampler! - Drawn next Wednesday (Aus local time). All about 50/50... 50/50 is a weekly poll where we find out whether or not some serious bones of contention questions can be finally be buried or will instead remain above ground as a fleshy 50/50 debate... you know, such weighty issues as these... If given no other option: do you prefer Hunnicutt or Trapper in M*A*S*H? Connery or Moore as Bond? Apple or PC? Smooth or Crunchy peanut butter? do you prefer wearing men's or women's underwear? Sacrificing chickens or virgins? ...that sort of standard fare. Vote in the poll and further bolster your standpoint in the thread below if you wish. Poll Votes are public and there's a couple of sticks up for grabs for participants. Also, PM me Polls that you'd like me to conduct on 50/50 and there'll be a prize for those we decide to use.
inter4alia Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Tough cuts at this point but I'm keeping 007
Fuzz Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I pick Lord of the Rings to stay, but this will go the exact same way as the Star Wars vs Bond poll.
Deeg Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Voted for Tolkien but no way there’s enough Kiwis on here to swing the election that way.
mtd057 Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Tough choice! I finally went with Lord of the Rings.
Kitchen Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 No question; good bye James Bond! I mean really, 10% of all English literature can be traced back to Tolkin. What has Bond brought us that is even comparable.
Bucky McSwensen Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Tolkien for sure. Bond is great but replaceable in a pinch.
BoliDan Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Tolkien has the creative edge, but I chose Flemming simply because fantasy does less for me. I'm sure @Ken Gargett will be here to admonish us philistines that voted in a disappointing manner.?

I'm sure @Ken Gargett will be here to admonish us philistines that voted in a disappointing manner.? you greatly misjudge me. i love them both. have all the fleming novels sitting on a shelf a few feet away from me at this moment. i have reread tolkien more times than bond but perhaps that is because there are so many more of them. but i have seen the bond films many more times than LOTR. but one problem is we then go down the rabbit hole of which bond and so forth (yes, the world could have lived without roger moore's bond). i am not voting. i think the world would be a much poorer place without either. books and films. but we have had 22 of these? really? i think i have seen about four. probably just as well.
Auspaul Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 James Bond as there are enough people trying to destroy it
Iznogood Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 LOTR keeps coming back in this polls, you can put whatever against LOTR and I would always vote for Tolkien.
SansSin Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 i like the hobbit and lotr books too much to vote against them. bond is cool with some good movies but never got into the books
MountainMilG Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Tough choice, maybe hardest one so far. Chose lord of the rings - I have more of those books than bond.
MD Puffer Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Curse the bastard who forced me to make this choice!

David88 Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I would save lord of the rings. I love Bond but there are too many duds, whereas all three of the Rings trilogy are winners
Astar20 Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Bond, James Bond it’s a no brainer taught me hot to have a vodka martini shaken not stirred. Plus the vesper martini isn’t half bad.
