Thank you.

Bugger. I've been found out

Markgway wrote:But your trying to vote for Street Fighter WAS taking the piss. Admit it.

I could but it would mean I'd have to continue to post in this thread

. I cannot admit to that as it's completely false, I'll admit I can be a cock at times, is that a good enough compromise?

.

I'm not saying you dislike me, though you probably do now!

Nope. The Internet is not the place to genuinely dislike people, as far as I'm concerned anyway. You're a cool guy, most of the time.

But you seem to keep doing things that rub people up the wrong way. Either you have an uncanny knack or you are trying to piss people off.

I can 100% assure it's the former. Besides Tigercage, Ivan and every now and again Lourdes have been pissing me off for months. I've learnt to put up with it. I doubt they'll ever get bored of it. It works both ways remember

.

Like I said earlier Tigercage for no reason whatsoever decided to send me an abusive PM just yesterday. I'd not even spoken to him recently. I don't care though, it's the Internet and thus isn't real life. Take it on the chin and forget about it, granted advice I don't always do myself.

Nope.

I'd agree with that. Street Fighter really isn't a fair example.

Too true

I LOVE Kickboxer, and really like Bloodsport.
Other Van Damme movies I didnt care much about, although Hard Target was great fun except for the ridiculous hairdo...
Wake of Death is very good as well, although Simon Yam is a bit ridiculous in it...

Has that van Damme comedy about the Van Damme bio-flick already come out? That looked like a lot of fun and it's nice seeing Van Damme in a comedy role speaking his native french...

I hate to be a stickler Yi. But can you put your votes in clearer format as Sam, Romero, and Shingster did? I'm assuming you're voting for those four you mention, but it's hard to tell unless you clarify. It's not much to ask.

Re. J.C.V.D. (as it's apparently called); I didn't think that Van Damme film where he plays himself was a comedy? I've heard he's very good in it and it might change people's perception of him as a person and an actor.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 17 Jul 2008, 13:04

Sorry Mark, didnt realize it was a contest-style thread. I just thought we were summing up favourite Van Damme flicks

I'll make a proper list later this afternoon...

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 17 Jul 2008, 16:18

That's OK. You're not alone in making that mistake. I think people don't read the first post and skip straight to the last then comment on what they think they thread is about. A few regulars still haven't voted so this comp might take longer than I originally thought.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 17 Jul 2008, 16:45

Welcome back Yi. Is your trip over already? Any photos? Sorry Mark, I know off topic.

I'm "almost cute", why thank you Mark

"Almost"

I did, that's why I edited the post saying "I'll post properly tomorrow".

10. Legionnaire

No other votes because I haven't seen the other film in the appropriate match ups.

For the record, I have genuinely enjoyed Street Fighter - definitely a guilty pleasure.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 18 Jul 2008, 15:56

I could watch that all day

OK. Your voted will be counted. BTW you don't HAVE to have seen both films if you feel strongly about one of them. But if you prefer to have seen both that's up to you.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 19 Jul 2008, 22:42

C'mon anyone who hasn't voted yet!!

I've modified the format slightly.

First with 5 votes in each match is the winner. (It'll take until Xmas to get 10)

The loser with the highest votes gets a wild card entry into the quarter finals.

Check first post for details.

Is this thread dead?

I was gonna do comps for other action stars but if this is the lame response...

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 23 Jul 2008, 13:57

I would've participated, but I just can't bring myself to vote for a Van Damme film.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 23 Jul 2008, 17:44

I'd vote in a Jackie Chan or Schwarzenegger one

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 23 Jul 2008, 23:09

Thanks Sam - I know you're cool on this. 8)

Brad - several regulars haven't voted including Yi-Long.

Tom's an arse and French.

Pod - you haven't seen the films, thus are excused. BUT GO SEE THOSE FILMS OR ELSE...

Not sure I belong on a forum that disses Van Damme. :shock:

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 23 Jul 2008, 23:26

Just a glance reveals that the following have not voted yet have posted in Anything Goes within the last 2 weeks...

Tom, Yi-Long, Degeneration, Shen, HungFist, Iron Monkey, and Knetan.

I haven't even looked in the other forums.

I wonder why of all the forums I visit Bullets is always the most resistant to doing stuff like this? If I'd have started with Schwarzenegger would it really have made a difference?

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 23 Jul 2008, 23:27

well quite simply i dont like Van damme that much, and have only seen parts of a few of his films before becoming bored and disinterested, even after really trying to watch them, so i dont feel qualified to vote...

I wasn't singling you out over anyone else... you're just one of several who haven't voted. Now I know why. Van Damme boring? Aye, carumba! I can only hope you haven't tried Hard Target - one of the greatest American action movies ever made. Are you more of a Seagal fan?
