Remember we give points for the Crappiness of the movie, the Coolness of the scene, and the Hoffness of the whole thing (that is, for the presence of David Hasselhoff, Susanna Hoff or Dustin Hoffman). The three basic categories are each out of 10, so the final total has a potential maximum of 30. We also award bonus points, mainly in order to skew the results. Here we go:Kai Lord:The part in "Alien: Resurrection" where an alien starts killing guys in an escape pod and then Dan Hedaya's character chucks a grenade into it without hesitating right before it blasts off was pretty cool. Of course a few short moments later it had to get all stupid again when he takes out a piece of his brain and looks at it, but the first part was cool nonetheless.Crappiness: 10Coolness: 4Hoffness: 0Bonus points for Wynona Rider: 2Total: 16John CrichtonIshtar. The scene where they are composing, "Tellin' the truth can be dangerous business..."Crappiness: 9Coolness: 2Hoffness: 3Total: 15frankthedm"Ghost ship" Where everyone on the dancefloor is slain in the Ultimate "Cut and slow fall" scene ever made.Crappiness: 8Coolness: 5Hoffness: 0Total: 13KenMRisky Business Rebbecca De Mornay's(SP?) entrance.Crappiness: 7Coolness: 6Hoffness: 0Bonus points for, er, no reason whatsoever: 2Total: 15KenMTrue Lies Jamie Lynn Curtis' dance scene, stole the movie.Crappiness: 10Coolness: 3Hoffness: 0Bonus points because I don't want anything ever associated with that movie to do well even at something like this: -13Total: 0Michael TreeThe Smith-possessing-whatshisface scene in Matrix Revolutions. The entire movie was wretched otherwise, but the acting in that scene was lots of fun. (Whatshisface's, that is. Keanu didn't actually do any acting in that scene. Or movie, for that matter. Heck, for that matter, no one else did any actual acting in that movie either.)Crappiness: 8Coolness: 4Hoffness: 0Total: 12Michael TreeThe D&D Movie: Richard O'Brien's performance as the king of thieves and Tom Baker's performance as the king of the elves.Crappiness: 8Coolness: 5Hoffness: 0 (but hey, Tom Baker and Riff-Raff have to be worth something. Have an extra 2 points)Total: 15 or thereaboutsMichael TreeStarship Troopers: Right after the earth ships invaded in tight formation and were blown to smithereens, they regrouped and then... invaded in tight formation again and were blown to smithereens again. It looked cool and I couldn't help but cheer for natural selection in action.Crappiness: 8Coolness: 6Hoffness: 0Bonus points since Denise Richards is a suitable stand-in for Susanna Hoffs: 1Total: 15So for now we have Kai Lord in the lead, but with three others close behind. It's anybody's race still. Woot!</blockquote>
