"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."

Re: DC Movie Contest Semifinals: "The 14th Target" vs "The Phantom of Baker Street"
Round 2 (Quarterfinal) Summary
1.1: Strategy Above the Depths (9) continued its surprising run by defeating The Time Bombed Skyscraper (13). 58%-42%
1.2: The 14th Target (2) won a hard fought, but never especially close victory over Crossroad in the Ancient Capital (7). 54.8%%-45.2%
1.3: The Phantom of Baker Street (6) stunned The Last Wizard of the Century (3) with a sudden surge on the final days of voting; the decisive vote came with less than half an hour to go. 50%-50% (the rules of the contest stipulate that the movie with the higher box office gross advances when there is a tie)
1.4: Countdown to Heaven (5) beat Captured in Her Eyes (4); the margin was small, but it remained stable throughout the voting. 54.9%-45.1%

14th Target for me here, pretty easily too. Maybe I'm just grumpy because "Phantom" took out what I thought was the presumptive favorite, but "Target" had both a better mystery and more fun, even if it got pretty silly at points.

Don't feel particularly strongly about either. 3 vs. 7 would have been interesting, but... hmm. Phantom I guess. The scenario was a little more interesting.

Gosh I enjoy both, so this is really hard for me. I think I'm going to go w/ Phantom though because I heart Sherlock Holmes, even if it didn't really show him per-say..... /shrug

Oh well. I guess I'll have to 'count on' Countdown to Heaven to finish off 6.
