Yes, it probably more likely that "J squared" comes up with their ideas on their own...BUT...if we have an "official thread" for Vs. ideas, if any of those ideas are actually and perhaps obviously chosen - should there be some sort of acknowledgement? Or should all the fans here be contributing simply in the interest of helping out the podcast, and nothing more? I confess I've been irrationally irked (and realize how dopey I've sounded when I've made references to it) that both my X-Mas ideas were almost used verbatim weeks after I posted the idea - and now the Spielberg one - which was ALSO suggested in the same post from a ways back.
Never mind that they forgot one of the best Spielberg films - Raiders of the Lost Ark (duh).
And here's the original post that has been unheralded and so on:

Iconic Superhero themed:
SUPERMAN vs. BATMAN
or make it a three-way: SUPERMAN vs. BATMAN vs. SPIDER-MAN
(Now, that could encapsulate all versions of the characters, the decades worth of comics, tv shows, cartoons and films...NOT JUST THE MOVIES. If the audience was all comic geeks, ya could do what kids have argued for decades: DC vs. MARVEL...but I fear too many audience members wouldn't know or care...)
Bill Murray themed:
STRIPES vs. GHOSTBUSTERS vs. GROUNDHOG DAY
(sure, there are other Murray comedies during his lighter days, like Meatballs, or Scrooged...but these really are the top 3, no?)
Clint Eastwood themed:
DIRTY HARRY (Harry Callahan) vs. THE MAN WITH NO NAME (a.k.a. "Blondie" as Eli Wallach referred to him in "The Good the Bad & the Ugly"
X-Mas Animated Special themed:
A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS vs. HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS
vs. RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER vs. FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
(yeah, there's others, but these are most vertainly the iconic four...but we all know the first two are the BIG two, so this could be pared down to just Charlie Brown vs. The Grinch)
or
X-Mas Classic Film themed:
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE vs. MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET vs. A CHRISTMAS CAROL vs. A CHRISTMAS STORY
(A Christmas Carol refers to the most famous and beloved version of the Ebeneezer Scrooge tale, with Alistair Sim...over the last few years, mostly due to TBS, A Christmas Story has risen to this level...as these can all be seen EVERY holiday season)
Steven Spielberg themed:
JAWS vs. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK vs. E.T. vs JURASSIC PARK
(I left out his more serious fare, like Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Munich, et al...as well as the questionable films like War of the Worlds, A.I. & Minority Report, not to mention the dreck like Hook or 1941. I WAS tempted to put CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND in there though, as many believe that could be his best)
I know, I know - I should shut up, maybe some cheese with all my whining - but had to get it off my chest - and I don't think it would make the podcast if I called (as they didn't use my corrections for their Bond questions a few weeks back)
So much for karma...

EXALT!
And yes. You do need the karma. My next exalt goes to you.
