Upgrade wins another tightly contested match. In the time since posting the battle, Mr. Cage has bought 3 cheetah skin rugs, an oil painting of a penguin, the skull of the grizzly bear from The Revenant, all while filming 24 movies, 23 of which are direct to video. Next battle up shortly.

Fury Road

Second vote is tougher, Rises is easily the worst of its trilogy, Beyond is easily the best of its. But the spectacle in Rises is hard to argue with so Nolan takes the win.

I'm gonna call it for Mad Max. I will leave TDKR/ST:B a little longer.

With that, Mr Cooper and the gang will see themselves out. It's not all bad, as Mr. Cooper finishes up in time to make it back to Camp Firewood. Next battle up shortly.
