Hey gang. Just wanted to give you an update on the game we played last spring. Thanks to your voting, we were able to successfully create a proper rankings of the movies of these two actors in comparison to one another. I think there is a lot to be debated here, but that’s for you to do, and me to then follow through and address your concerns.
At this point, the only way to change these rankings is to voice your opinion either here or with an @ reply on twitter to @themoviefight.
So, here are The Christian Bale v Brad Pitt rankings:

Hey everybody.
Today, I’d like to introduce a new game that I’m going to try out over the next few weeks. To go along with our normal voting, and the upcoming tournaments that are coming down the pipeline, I’d like to start a new side project that, for now, I will call “Bouts!”
Generally on the site, we have fights between movies that last one round. The movies go up, you vote on them for 6 days, and then the results are tabulated.
OK, so after discussing this further, I’ve decided to change this to more of a SURVIVOR SERIES Type thing. Each actor gets 10 performances in. They battle in 10 rounds. When a performance loses it has been eliminated. When the first 10 fights are over, Those movies that are still alive fight again until all of one actor’s movies have been eliminated, thus being crowned the winner!!
Kinda crazy, but I think you’ll get it when you see it in action. Point is, I need your votes more than ever! So stop by and vote!
