As discussed before, I happen to be in the exact same situation and just wanted to inform all you good folks here that I therefore finally found time to kick of the endlessly delayed execution of my "Must under all circumstances see before submit ballot"-list. What can you do.
So I started things of smoothly with Possession earlier in the day. It's about 8 hours later now and I don't even feel even remotely articulate enough to form a reaction that goes beyond a startled "Wha...?".

that's ok they can just discuss threads later on other threads

or maybe they were so emotionally scarred from threads that even now, almost 30 years later, they STILL can't bring themselves to discussing it.

Still have to see it. Neat points/vote ratio.

I didn't vote for Pan's Labyrinth because it's fantasy to me, but it did blow me away. Interesting that Abbott compared her reaction to it with Plague Dogs, as those are the two movies I think of when I think of times I was reduced to a weeping mess during end credits.
Just took the trouble of dividing my ballot up by threat type. Monster, Witch, Demon and Vampire all tie for the lead with 7 entries each. If I count Psychic and Possession as the same thing, there's seven of those too. Nature only has one and Zombie only has two.
For the record, and so it is known -- I am not a fan of sexy vampire lit or movies outside of Nosferatu. Crap is crap and Herzog's Nosferatu is not crap.
LOL there was a Herzog festival in Seattle in like '95 and I got to write an article for the Stranger about it. I wrote that his Nosferatu was 'the only great vampire movie' (whatev, I was in my 20s and liked proclamations). Stranger film editor Andy changed it to 'one of the greatest vampire movies'.

Ha ha. What a delightfully wrongheaded notion. "Starting things off smoothly with Possession, indeed. Memories of that movie are like PTSD-induced flashbacks.

hmmm kinda wondering now if Pan's Labyrinth fits the description upthread of movies where evil triumphs but it's not such a bad thing
― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 17 May 2012 21:23 (twelve years ago) link
Hmmm though if I look only at my top 10 it's a 3-3 tie between Witch and Monster...

I watched threads the other day, half out of legit curiosity & half b/c I was having a hard time finding good images online and holy hell u should prepare yourself to be pummeled relentlessly by bleakness. Genre-wise, I wouldn't classify it as such for obvious reasons but I'm pretty sure it is horror by default.

3/50 so far. Phantasm, rec and FWWM, which somehow makes a rather odd combination.
Apart from this, learned that I definitely should take a closer look on Picnic At Hanging Rock and The Seventh Victim.
― the europan nikon is here (grauschleier), Thursday, 17 May 2012 21:39 (twelve years ago) link

I was set for intense/heavy stuff, but I honestly didn't expect it to be that verschwurbelt. Which, as I have to confess, diminished the real impact (at least) on me quite a lot. Being fully aware that this will sound like a sacrilege, but I would have pereferred a bit more coherence, as the setup (Adjani, Berlin, Mauer, Gloom, the early Eighties) is prime for tragic suspense, and to pull some emotional strings too.

Well, not to single you or your response to the film out, but I always feel that it's valuable for viewers to critique movies on the basis of what the movie is trying to do and not on the basis of what the viewer wished the movie had done.

it is pretty bonkers, though. you can hardly expect everyone to stay in the saddle all the way through.

Exactly, was writing something in the same direction, seems to be a case of high/wrong expectations.
Nevertheless, and not to be misunderstood, I consider it an excellent movie in many aspects, from the camerawork to Adjanis performance etc. Quite a ride.

This was in response to DWH.
Maybe I somehow secretely hoped for a blueishly lit and furnitured East-German sequel to Don't Look Now.
