Powerhouse Matchup of the Tournament

For a first round matchup, this one is a powerhouse. Both guys are under seeded, and both have Final Four potential.

It won't be popular, but I'm going with the underdog here. Sure, Jack is a cool customer and has played some cool characters, but he's pretty one dimensional and quite frankly, I just find Walken more intriguing/weird/interesting.

The Natalie Wood thing makes him even more intriguing/mysterious.

Good enough for me.

Fuck the Lakers.

This is a tough ass bracket. I feel that every underdog has a chance.

Walken, Nicholson is a Lakers fan.

I will be embarrassed if Jack can't even make it out of the first round of a tourny for the cool.

Yeah, but he's up against Walken, dude. Walken gets a lifetime of passes just because of The Deer Hunter.

To illustrate my point, here is a painting of Christopher Walken building robots in his garage.

Man I'm gonna have to think of this for a while. When I clicked on the thread I only read 'Nicholson vs' and thought duh... then I saw Walken and now I don't know. Nicholson is the only cement I had my pic taken by at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, but Walken is a badass in just about everything he does.

My favorite Walken moment is in Pulp...

The way your Daddy
looked at it, that watch was your
birthright. And he'd be damned if
and slopeheads were gonna put their
greasy yella hands on his boy's
birthright. So he hid it in the
one place he knew he could hide
somethin'. His ass. Five long
years, he wore this watch up his
ass. Then when he died of
disentary, he gave me the watch. I
hid with uncomfortable hunk of
metal up my ass for two years.
Then, after seven years, I was sent
home to my family. And now, little
man, I give the watch to you.
