March Badness returns! Sort of! Two years ago, I set out to determine once and for all what is THE WORST SCI-FI FILM OF ALL TIME. It was a dangerous task that nearly left me a gibbering vegetable, but dammit -- someone had to take the chance so that others may be saved !
Rather than simply pick and choose and argue over which film sucked more, I pulled together a list of "worthy" contenders and forced them to compete against one another in a single elimination March Madness-style bracket, with the "winners" chosen by vote.
The contest ran from March to May of 2005 with pool of voters that included friends, geeks, scientists, cartoonists, fanboys, and utter strangers who had read about it online and wanted to participate. Recently I got a couple of requests to repost the results -- including my running commentary on each head-to-head fight and the PDF of the bracket -- so here once again is MARCH BAAAAAAAAAAAAADNESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
You've been warned.
