Boil'em, Mash'em, Stick'em in a Stew vs. What? No!

Your Champion
Boil'em, Mash'em, Stick'em in a Stew
(Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers)

VS

Your Challenger
What? No!
(The Happening)

The Case for Boil'em, Mash'em, Stick'em in a Stew (1):
As Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Samwise (Sean Astin) rest at camp, Smeagol (Andy Serkis) returns with some freshly caught meat - and has a strong reaction to Sam's insistence on cooking it.  During their back and forth, Sam wishes for some potatoes to go with it - and birthed an Internet meme while wistfully listing ways to prepare them.

The Case for What? No!:
The Happening is a movie that just makes one ask questions - not about the film itself, but about the making of said movie.  Who thought this was a good idea?  Why did they cast it the way that they did?  And this scene leads to one of the greatest questions: was this really Mark Wahlberg's best take?
