For those of you new to the NEZ, let's explain. Once a year, we put together a ridiculous 64 "team" tournament. 2 years ago, we found out that Homer Simpson was the greatest cartoon character in history (shocker). Last year, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was crowned as the best tv show theme song.
This year, we are looking to find the greatest movie quote ever.
We decided to take one quote from each movie, and had to make executive decisions. We put together the tourney, and if you want to bitch about the choices (Randy), have at it. But remember that we're still better than the actual Selection Committee.
So here was the plan all along: Let college basketball finish, THEN jump into our annual tournament madness thing. You see, now we have nothing to occupy our time. So our now titled "April Madness" is perfectly timed to help you get through a difficult sports stretch.
Throughout today, we'll be posting the regions and giving you a chance to vote.
After the jump, the four #1 seeds and the first region...
First off, our #1 seeds.
As you can tell from the picture up top, Moxon was an obvious choice for a number one:
Mox: Playing football for West Canaan may have been the opportunity of your lifetime, but I... don't want... your life!
Epic.
For our next #1 seed, a quote isn't even really necessary. Just a picture...
THE speech.
Our third choice is a quote that will most likely be used for another 200 years.
Ham Porter: You're killing me Smalls!
Finally, the overall #1 seed goes to the classic of classics. A quote that defined a generation.
Lloyd: Hey guys, Big Gulps huh? Alright! …Welp see ya later!
So there you have it. Can you honestly think of any other quote to put in the top 4? Didn't think so.
On to the voting for the Moxon Region...
------------------------------
#1 Varsity Blues - Mox: Playing football for West Canaan may have been the opportunity of your lifetime, but I... don't want... your life!
#16 Boondock Saints - Rosengurtie: Wait, rule of thumb? In the early 1900s it was legal for men to beat their wives, as long as they used a stick no wider than their thumb. Connor: Can't do much damage with that then, can we? Perhaps it should have been a rule of wrist?
------------------------------
#8 The Dark Knight - The Joker: Let's put a smile on that face!
#9 Zombieland - Little Rock: [as Bill Murray is dying] Do you have any regrets? Bill Murray: Garfield, maybe.
------------------------------
#4 This is Spinal Tap - Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and... Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten? Nigel Tufnel: Exactly. Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder? Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? Marty DiBergi: I don't know. Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven. Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder. Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder? Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.
#13 There’s Something About Mary - Warren: Have you seen my baseball?
------------------------------
#5 Princes Bride - Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
#12 South Park - [Finishing his "Kyle's Mom" song] Cartman: Kyle's Mom... She's a big, fat, f*ckin' BIIIIIIIIITCH! Who's a f*ckin' bitch? Kyle's Mooooooooom! Yeah! [Notices Kyle's mom standing behind him] Cartman: Oh f*ck
------------------------------
#3 Blues Brothers - Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Jake: Hit it.
#14 Dogma - Loki: Hey, you know, f*ck you, man. Any moron with a pack of matches can set a fire. Raining down sulphur is like an endurance trial man. Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in, outside of soccer.
------------------------------
#6 Big Lebowski - Walter Sobchak: OVER THE LINE! Smokey: Huh? Walter Sobchak: I'm sorry, Smokey. You were over the line, that's a foul. Smokey: Bullshit. Mark it 8, Dude. Walter Sobchak: Uh, excuse me. Mark it zero. Next frame. Smokey: Bullshit, Walter. Mark it 8, Dude. Walter Sobchak: Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.
#11 Happy Gilmore - Chubbs: Back in 1965, Sports Illustrated said I was going to be the next Arnold Palmer. Happy Gilmore: Yeah? What happened? Chubbs: They wouldn't let me play on the Pro Tour anymore. Happy Gilmore: Ah, I'm sorry. Because you're black? Chubbs: Hell no! Damned alligator BIT my hand off!! [Shows Happy his wooden hand] Happy Gilmore: OH MY GOD! Chubbs: Yeah. tournament down in Florida. I hooked my ball in the rough down by the lake. Damned alligator just POPPED up, cut me down on my prime. He got me, but I tore one of that bastard's eyes out though. Look at that. Happy Gilmore: You're pretty sick, Chubbs.
------------------------------

Winners go home and f*ck the prom queen. Stanley Goodspeed: Carla was the prom queen. John Mason: Really? Stanley Goodspeed: [cocks his gun] Yeah.
#15 Deliverance - Toothless Man: He got a real pretty mouth ain't he?
