BEDLAM IN PARADISE and CREEPS are the only two stock footage jobs that get my vote (and I really like HEAVENLY DAZE, so a major compliment to Bedlam). Every other pairing, I vote original.

Bedlam in Paradise in the only remake I preferred to the original. I mostly loved the whole Devil aspect of this short, though the dancing scene with Shemp in Heaven was just a time filler, and not very funny.

So out of 174 Curly/Shemp shorts this eliminates 21. When you include the one Bessier short it means we still have to get rid of 24 shorts before the tourney starts. That will be interesting to see which ones arent in the tourney. Id say late Curlys like Rhythm and Weep, Three Lone Wolves, and Beer Barrell Polecats can get the axe without too many being upset.

It's been quite a painstaking process, let me tell you. It'll be shorts with low ratings both on this site and imdb, so I hope not too many people will complain that their favorite got left off.

My vote on the original vs remakes is to vote for all of the original shorts with the exceptions to cast votes for "Bedlam In Paradise" and "Loose Loot".

Desmond Of The Outer Sanctorum · **Reply #19 on:** July 28, 2010, 06:57:42 AM

I haven't watched many of these (especially the remakes) in a while, so I'm not totally sure what my opinions would be in all cases. But here are some I'm sure of (all originals):

FRIGHT NIGHT
BRIDELESS GROOM
SING A SONG OF SIX PANTS
HEAVENLY DAZE
I'M A MONKEYS UNCLE
CRIME ON THEIR HANDS
MALICE IN THE PALACE
VAGABOND LOAFERS
DUNKED IN THE DEEP

There may be cases where I'd prefer the remakes, but I don't know what those would be.

With the previous Joe Besser rounds, all the shorts were fairly fresh in my mind thanks to the recent DVD set, but these took a lot longer to decide on. I had to rewatch some again for comparisson.

Awesome! Exactly what this tournament should be doing.

I'm all the way through 1950 in giving each short an average score between this site and imdb, and after that, I get to decide the match-ups and what doesn't make the final 128. Overall, I'd say the ratings seem fairly accurate. A few shorts seem higher scored than I'd imagine, one seems much lower due to an incredibly high ranking on this site but a much lower one on imdb, and the number one seed, while a good short, I think will surprise people.

Anyway, Saturday draws closer.

BEDLAM IN PARADISE and BUBBLE TROUBLE both are winners and take over the seeds of HEAVENLY DAZE and ALL GUMMED UP respectively. Everything else, the originals won.
