In the time-honored tradition of last summer’s Superhero Movie Tournament, Cinematical humbly presents its first ever Geek-Off, pitting the most endearingly nerdy characters of the silver screen against one another, armed with nothing but their wits and their pocket protectors.
As we mentioned yesterday, we’ve excluded the likes of Peter Parker because of his involvement with the above-mentioned superhero showdown, and after much discussion, we’ve decided to also leave out C-3PO on the grounds that he was programmed to be geeky as no other characters here have. Also, to prevent any sort of monopoly, we’ve only selected one character per movie — the only pick this really seems to have any bearing on is Revenge of the Nerds, but your vote counts whether it’s for the ensemble or just for that one character. (We honestly wouldn’t know the difference.)
The first pairing out of sixteen characters is listed below, with more after the jump and even more coming over the weekend (so don’t lose it if you don’t see a fave — there are sixteen more to come). Ready? Set… Vote!
Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), Jurassic Park vs. Erwin “Whistler” Emory (David Strathairn), Sneakers
