thanks, i just did. i guess that will be the one and only vote for Samira Makhalbaf's "The Apple".

It's a closed ballot, sorry. Just the nominees from above.

― Erick Dampier is better than Shaq (miloaukerman), Monday, 2 January 2006 03:33 (eighteen years ago) link

well i don't suppose it maters much and it was worth voting for on principle (also tbh i had a hard time choosing 15 films from the list).

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 2 January 2006 03:35 (eighteen years ago) link

tremendoid, it's scary how similar are our tastes:

Same for #1, 5/15 on the rest, 1/3 on least favorites.

― remy (x Jeremy), Monday, 2 January 2006 05:44 (eighteen years ago) link

you'll get closer next year don't worry;) my list reads to me like the slow agonizing death of my inner film geek in the last 2 or 3 years. I love all those movies but I didn't have much of a pool to choose from when it came down to it. I probably saw 5 films in the theater last year- all domestic, le sigh.

Results may take a couple of weeks to formulate. I can't find which box I put my Office v.X disc in, so I've either got to find it or break down and use OpenOffice.

― c(''c) (Leee), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 22:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Voting for the same film twice is cheating! I think.
Btw I spelt Belleville Rendezvous wrong when I nominated it, a mistake that's being repeated all through the thread. Grr.

― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 23:01 (eighteen years ago) link

i've been trying to find the apple!

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 23:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Sure, just submit a new one and I'll delete the other.

― Erick Dampier is better than Shaq (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 23:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh sorry Caitlin, that was meant for jed, not you: I was trying to figure out whether he meant it was ineligible because no one nominated it, or because it wasn't actually from this decade.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 23:21 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm having shit luck finding my Office disc and may need to get a new one from the university, so I could extend voting another week if a few people want to get ballots in.

― Erick Dampier is better than Shaq (miloaukerman), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:20 (eighteen years ago) link

NO WAY. Cook County crap!

How did my film get on this list? Who are you people. Something strange is afoot. Director 'The Good, The Bad and The Chorley'

― Krystal Gault, Thursday, 2 February 2006 14:17 (eighteen years ago) link

What's happening with this anyway? Erick?

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 2 February 2006 19:31 (eighteen years ago) link

I got slammed with school and work, as I couldn't find my Office fast enough. I have all the ballots, I'm going to start counting two or three a night.

― Erick Dampier is better than Shaq (miloaukerman), Thursday, 2 February 2006 20:46 (eighteen years ago) link

paging Woodsy Erick Milo...

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 16 February 2006 16:53 (eighteen years ago) link

I finally got a new copy of Office this week, because I can't get Open Office to open on my Mac. It's coming, honest.

― Erick Dampier is better than Shaq (miloaukerman), Thursday, 16 February 2006 20:04 (eighteen years ago) link

I knew Apple must be to blame somehow.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 16 February 2006 20:24 (eighteen years ago) link

I just remembered MARIA FULL OF GRACE... how wasn't that nominated?

Has this ended up in ILX poll purgatory? I was looking forward to seeing the results.

― musically (musically), Saturday, 1 April 2006 00:10 (eighteen years ago) link

stop bashing the ghostface album and ante up those results, woody!

― gear (gear), Saturday, 1 April 2006 00:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I hope it is in purgatory! That way I can submit a ballot.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Saturday, 1 April 2006 01:25 (eighteen years ago) link

haha, go ahead and submit away. I promise to count these soon, but the beginning of baseball season and trying to figure out my taxes have taken precedence.

― Big Willy and the Twins (miloaukerman), Saturday, 1 April 2006 01:27 (eighteen years ago) link

No, honestly: how was MARIA FULL OF GRACE not nominated? It totally belongs in my top 10.

― Tape Store (Tape Store), Sunday, 2 April 2006 05:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I currently have no computer of my own and am trying to hold off until August or September, whenever the next iMac update comes along.

Will forward ballots to anyone willing to count them, though.
