ok that hurt

former personal denim advisor to the mayor, (La Lechera), Monday, 7 May 2012 14:39 (twelve years ago) link

If everyone instead focused on cutting Jack Frost from their ballots, then we'd all have room for both Wicker Man and Lemora.

fight the real enemy

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Monday, 7 May 2012 14:46 (twelve years ago) link

Every list needs at least one "winter SLAY-ride!" though, so choose wisely.

also wish I had done more pregame repping for lemora, a child's tale of the supernatural. reminiscent of valerie and her week of wonders, except replace the hippie-dippie surrealism with bava-does-southern-grotesque.

have to confess that i still haven't seen lemora. i wish you had pushed it itt, edward, cuz i've been meaning to see it for years, and it looks like exactly the sort of thing i'd love (valerie made my list*, and that's borderline horror at best).

* wicker man too, of course

I have finished all my work commitments, so now it is head down, full steam ahead, non-stop editing of horror ballot.

Too late for me to get any more watching in, sadly...

emil.y, Monday, 7 May 2012 14:58 (twelve years ago) link

argh, still have to edit mine and it's going to have to wait until after work. sorry!!

original bgm, Monday, 7 May 2012 15:07 (twelve years ago) link

Oh my god I just realized a terrible terrible omission from my list

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Monday, 7 May 2012 15:11 (twelve years ago) link

As in should have been top ten. Noooooooooooooo

*kicks self*

lemora is by no means perfect, but the carefully composed lighting and set design plus fairy tale trappings elevate the proceedings above its limitations. def more of a horror movie than valerie.

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Monday, 7 May 2012 15:13 (twelve years ago) link

love gozu and want to vote for it but I'm not sure if it's really a horror movie.

guys, is gozu horror?

original bgm, Monday, 7 May 2012 15:13 (twelve years ago) link

sure, parts of it definitely are

10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Monday, 7 May 2012 15:19 (twelve years ago) link

Been forever since I've seen it - can't remember much beyond Yakuza skins and dialogue off cue cards.

Nonetheless, it's on the list of nominees - go ahead and vote for it.

overall, it's probably not horror, but it's definitely worth voting for, even on the thinnest of excuses.

10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Monday, 7 May 2012 15:20 (twelve years ago) link

was a little disappointed in "that scene". certainly doesn't beat udo kier in the kingdom.

10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Monday, 7 May 2012 15:21 (twelve years ago) link

that's all the convincing I need

original bgm, Monday, 7 May 2012 15:24 (twelve years ago) link

Yes it is, and I left it off my list. ;_;

I will accept revisions. Within reason.

Are you talking about the end of the first miniseries? I'll assume that you are, seeing as how that was one of the most WTF?!?! things I've ever seen.

You Don't Throw Oranges On An Escalator (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 7 May 2012 15:31 (twelve years ago) link

yeah

10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Monday, 7 May 2012 15:37 (twelve years ago) link

want to revise my whole ballot, not the contents, just the order, but i will refrain. what's done is done.

10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Monday, 7 May 2012 15:38 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah, I only have one real regret, but I'm moving forward with my life now.

Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Monday, 7 May 2012 15:41 (twelve years ago) link

Thank you, Eric H, for being awesome!

a la bouquet marmoset (Austerity Ponies), Monday, 7 May 2012 16:27 (twelve years ago) link

Eric, how many ballots have you received?

a la bouquet marmoset (Austerity Ponies), Monday, 7 May 2012 19:40 (twelve years ago) link

I've received 37 ballots total, counting my own as well.

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Monday, 7 May 2012 21:23 (twelve years ago) link

make that 38.

second only to popcorn (or something), Monday, 7 May 2012 21:50 (twelve years ago) link

come on, two more, people! nice round 40 would be a good voter base to work from. not that it makes much difference, really...

10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Monday, 7 May 2012 22:03 (twelve years ago) link

If people don't have the time to put together a ballot I would gladly email mine to them and they can submit it as their own

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Monday, 7 May 2012 22:07 (twelve years ago) link

I'm excited for these results. I'm going to use them as inspiration for my 2012 It Came from Behind the Couch horror movie marathon.

Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Monday, 7 May 2012 22:20 (twelve years ago) link

Although the turnout is a little disappointing, it should hopefully give some of the more oddball picks a chance to shine.

Mine is available as well, with as much (or little) room as you want for adjustments and changes. Drag and drop! It's easy!

former personal denim advisor to the mayor, (La Lechera), Monday, 7 May 2012 23:09 (twelve years ago) link

My votes are in now. Not that I've been able to give as much time and watching to this as I'd have liked.

Cragenham Craig (Craigo Boingo), Monday, 7 May 2012 23:37 (twelve years ago) link

sent! god it feels good to finally remember to vote in one of these damn things.

jesus christ (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 00:28 (twelve years ago) link

will probably hate my ballot in 20 minutes or less but at least it's off my desktop.

jesus christ (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 00:29 (twelve years ago) link

I'm going to finally send in my ballot. I never noticed if there is a preferred format - I was going to do a numbered Google text doc, but could also do a Google spreadsheet.

Pita Malört (Je55e), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 00:37 (twelve years ago) link

That seems like a dumb question now. I'm going to send a spreadsheet.

Pita Malört (Je55e), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 00:38 (twelve years ago) link

Just finishing up, and I notice nobody nominated The Fall of the House of Usher. Bah. Perfectly happy to give its points to the Pit and the Pendulum, mind.

emil.y, Tuesday, 8 May 2012 00:39 (twelve years ago) link

This is difficult.

Pita Malört (Je55e), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 00:54 (twelve years ago) link

my list turned out like 33 percent canon, 33 percent childhood faves, 33 percent indefensible nonsense.

unlike ed3, i was surprised how many 21st century flicks showed.

jesus christ (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 00:57 (twelve years ago) link

I think my list is relatively canon - I'm expecting the majority of my top ten to place, and place high.

Seeing as I did a decade breakdown of my ballot for the comedy poll, I figured it wouldn't be too spoilery to do one for this:

1920s - 2
1930s - 2
1940s - 1
1950s - 0
1960s - 16
1970s - 18
1980s - 9
1990s - 2
2000s - 0
2010s - 0

emil.y, Tuesday, 8 May 2012 01:09 (twelve years ago) link

I submitted my ballot.

Pita Malört (Je55e), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 01:23 (twelve years ago) link

My decade-by-decade breakdown:

50s - 2
60s - 2
70s - 10
80s - 22
90s - 7
00s - 7

Nothing from this decade, and the two most recent films in my top 15 are six and seventeen years old, respectively.

You Don't Throw Oranges On An Escalator (Deric W. Haircare), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 01:52 (twelve years ago) link

The old bell curve:

30s – 2
40s – 2
50s – 2
60s – 8
70s – 9
80s – 8
90s – 3
00s – 1

clemenza, Tuesday, 8 May 2012 02:03 (twelve years ago) link

I guess I should submit a ballot for this

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 02:04 (twelve years ago) link

lol

jesus christ (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 02:04 (twelve years ago) link

OK, I'm not quite finished tabulating the ballots I have. It's still short of 50, but even if it weren't, I'm making this announcement official:

Balloting will be held open for at least another 36 hours and possibly longer if I feel lazy or generous.

Hence, I will still accept ballots provided they reach my inbox until 11 a.m. EST on Wednesday. Possibly a little longer, but I need to get st3v3 working on images so I can unveil the results starting next week.

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 03:04 (twelve years ago) link

This is like that slacker sculpture class I was in, where I felt accomplished for finishing at the last minute rather than (like half of the rest of the class) two weeks beyond deadline.

You Don't Throw Oranges On An Escalator (Deric W. Haircare), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 03:21 (twelve years ago) link

jeez, if we got another couple days, i wanna pull and rejigger my ballot. not a want in need of actualization though...

10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 03:27 (twelve years ago) link

So as if to sanctify the end of the horror poll, I went into a pawn shop tonight and they had an unopened copy of the 4 disc ultimate edition of dawn of the dead that was unpriced, and when I brought it up to the counter the kid just looked up "dawn of the dead" and charged me 99 cents.

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 03:47 (twelve years ago) link

wow, nice!
