THE FUCK?

By Pete Vonder Haar | June 18, 2006

Not to rain on Mark and Mike’s CineVegas coverage, but I just saw the results of the latest FT poll. And while I don’t know Luke Y. Thompson personally or anything about him, I’ve seen pictures. Therefore I’m willing to accept that maybe it was the Uncle Sam hair coloring that won you over, or perhaps the tattoo (of his own initials…honestly, who monograms themselves?), but regardless, there’s definitely an outside chance that the guy might be a better pugilist than me.

But Harry Knowles? The guy can barely walk under his own power, much less throw a punch in anger, and yet he’s polling 15% to my 5%? Please tell me it’s simply name recognition and not the belief that he could last 30 seconds against Uwe Boll before collapsing in a gasping heap.

Guess I need a better publicist.

    Look at it this way, Pete. Herr Boll is a skilled boxer, so wouldn’t you rather Harry Knowles get his a*s handed to him? Not that you’d lose, but I’m truing to find a positive side here.

    Strikeout King!?! Dammit…

    I didn’t even make the poll so what are you whining about, you prick…

    Don’t take your lack of scoring in Vegas out on me, strikeout king.

    Luke is a superhero disguised as a giant Slurpee.

    Well that explains it.

    Pete, I love you and I voted for you.

    I wish Eli Roth was challenging to box. I’d simply kick him in the nuts and pull a coup de gras on his face with a broken bottle.

  7. Mark Bell says:

    I voted for you too. Then again, I didn’t even make the poll so what are you whining about, you prick…

    I voted for you Pete.
