Here we go!  Pick your favorite short from each pair!  The ones with most votes advance to the second preliminary round.  For your benefit, I have linked the discussion to each respective short from metaldams' reviews.   These are seeded in order by ThreeStooges.net ratings.  The winner of of Bracket 1 goes onto be seed 127 in the big board, and the winner of Bracket 2 goes on to be 128.  If we have enough fun with this, maybe we can push these brackets long enough to achieve an order of 1-190 by these methods?  [pie] [3stooges] ;) ::)

After the week is up, I will lock the topic until after the tournament is done.

Edit: in case of a tie, my vote doesn't count.

I am so disappointed by 127, 137, and 141, as these are amongst my all-time favorites.  Oh, well, a voting they did go!

They both suck, so it's a tie. Daisy's Penthouse is a remake. With ties, I go with the one with all original material.
