Round Five

Poll Results as of December 1, 1999

See? We told you we'd update the Pitt poll more often. Here's it's been just over two months and the latest results are here on the web!

A couple of reminders:
1) We've stopped counting "No response" replies. Why? 'cause it's boring and, for the reasons of this poll, it doesn't make a lot of sense.

2) We don't count "fan club" votes. Sorry. How do we know we're getting "fan club" votes? When we get twenty e-mails a day all suggesting the same person play Dirk Pitt, we know something's afoot. Another clue is when someone suggests "Adrian Paul" for every role except Loren Smith and Admiral Sandecker - and then lists him as director as well.

Now that that's out of the way, here are the latest breakdowns of the Unofficial Dirk Pitt Movie Poll:
