I'm the kind of person who doesn't like certain foods comingling on a dinner plate...I don't like getting all loosey goosey with my definitions because then dogs/cats/living together/anarchy and it makes little sparks shoot off in my brain and I run around in a circle waving my arms for a while
It's a sickness, I'm aware of it.

Also, I'm trying (but it's obviously not a perfect system) to list titles alphabetically according to English version, and then putting original lang title in brackets afterwards.
In some cases, though, I'm not bothering (i.e. Haute Tension).

So, controversial idea. I'm toying with the idea of making people list 50 on their ballot or else risk losing their vote's clout. In other words, your last placing movie gets 1 point and you can work your way up to 50.
Thoughts?
― get me bloodied (Eric H.), Thursday, 5 April 2012 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
that was how we did it for the comedy ballot. Why is that controversial? or am I completely misunderstanding you because I'm low on caffeine?

Also, I always think the guy on this cover:

is Jaco Pastorius.

The way I want to do it is if your ballot only has 20 movies on it, your top-ranked movie only gets 20 points.
all horror movies should have upside down crosses in them

Well, it's kind of a hodge-podge after the first ~ 20, and it's not necessarily a bad idea, but it might make the latter half of my list a little more desultory than otherwise. @ Eric

well if the rules say vote for 50, i'll vote for 50. I didn't realize ppl just go 'fuck i'm only voting for 10' or whatever
all horror movies should have Jaco Pastorius in them. esp. because he's DEAD.

This is going to be hard, hah... One of those things like the all time metal poll where getting my ballot down to 50 choices will be maddening.

I don't think I can get away with the ascending point value plan, but it will irk me to see some ballots come in from people who can't muster anything beyond 10 or 20.

I think that's better than the alternative, wherein people with only 20 or so favorites pack a bunch of garbage into the back end of their ballots in order to give their number one pick more heft.

xposts Tho it's a zillion times scarier than Pan's Labyrinth imo.
I'd contest it more because I didn't particularly care for it than because it's not a straight-up horror film. But it does have some scary-ish stuff (inasmuch as it approaches the concept of genocidal aliens with a much more gravid brush than does Mars Attacks! or Independence Day), so I don't have a problem with it being in the running.

OH DANG gargoyles (1972)
This is another movie I saw once on tv as a kid. I remember being really into for a week but have only wierd shadowy memories of it. The first half of the movie was spooky and isolated and what are these strange happenings, and then iirc the second half was just like conversations with gargoyles, and like "we're people too" boo-hoo type stuff around monster genocide ot w/e

I don't really understand why a movie would be pulled from the nominations for not being "horror" enough. If it doesn't belong people won't vote for it. Plus, as the comment re: Pan's Labyrinth points out, it's a slippery slope.
