Who's ____? X or Y

Never mind this. Go with Sternvogel’s.

Ice T. The man was a pimp. An actual pimp.

Who hads the better icy name Ice T or Ice Cube?

I will be happy to pm you some recomendations if you like.

In the meantime

linky

and more linky

I am not a huge hip hop fan, but rather a casual listener. I like a lot of the stuff this group of folks, and the people who followed them, did.

Cube, for sure.

Who was more believable in Boyz in the Hood, Cube or Cuba?

Thanks for the links. That’ll satisfy my curiosity for the time being.

Cube. No contest.

Who is the better actor, Ice Cube or Sir Ian McKellen?

Depending on the role, both can hold their own pretty well. I’d enjoy seeing them swap some roles, though. :smiley:

Just to get a new name moving, I’ll say Ian, just for giggles.

Which Ian makes a better impression with his craft, Ian McKellen or Ian Fleming?

Fleming, hands down
Okay - next logical question: who was the best classic Bond?
Sean Connery or Roger Moore?

Sean. Roger pales by comparison.

Who’s the better Bond, Connery or Daniel Craig?

BTW – thanks for the logical leap! Good idea. Let’s dump the “must reuse your selected name” rule in favor of the “logical link” approach. Whichever “rule” feels better at the time. Some “dead ends” are better sidestepped, I think.

:smack: I didn’t realize you’d imposed a rule. :smiley:

Haven’t seen Craig, so I gotta say Connery
which leads me back to my “same basic character in every movie” question: Connery or Caine?

In that both of them have strong idiosyncracies and do tend to play “within type” this is hard to be fair about. I believe Mike has stretched a bit further but you have to consider Sean in his non-Bond roles, too.

I’ll settle on Caine.

Who’s the better Alfie, Caine or Jude Law?

Caine. I liked Jude Law, but he isn’t really Alfie.

Who has made more “only in it for the money” movies Caine or DeNeiro (a real topic of conversation in the lunchroom at my office today :smiley: )

I’ll say Caine, only because he brags about all the “shite” he’s done. Objectively though, it’s at least a tossup.

Whose real name, Maurice Micklewhite or Joe Yule (Mickey Rooney), is most out-of-character?

Yule. Who’s more enduringly annoying, Mickey Rooney or Roseanne Barr Arnold NKA Roseanne?

Mickey.

Who’s taller, Mickey Rooney or Tom Cruise?

Cruise. Mickey was shorter to begin with, and he’s probably shrunk a bit with age.

Who’s the scarier Scientologist, Cruise or John Travolta?

Cruise.

Who’s the freakier 90s heart throb turned raving lunatic, Cruise or Mel Gibson?

I’m going with Cruise. Gibson at least has the excuse that he was born in a crazy cult and Cruise has the whole weird Katie Holmes thing going on.

Which Tom will earn more money over the course of his career: Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks?

must. break. chain.
I’d say Hanks, anyway, because of his production company. Has Cruise even tried directing yet?

List…new…options!
