Wait, who are we sending ballots to this time?
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Tuesday, 17 July 2018 02:06 (seven years ago)
sic, via ILX mail, apparently. Is it reliable?
A reminder that the shamefully overlooked The Other Side of Hope is available from the Criterion Collection.

That was one of the main reasons I wanted to send a revised ballot.

i applaud you
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 17 July 2018 02:30 (seven years ago)
I wasn’t going to revise mine, did so to include The Other Side of Hope, and was surprised to realize it was in my top 3.
― Chris L, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 08:13 (seven years ago)
Is it reliable?I've received five revised ballots so far

Wait, if I include Western then I should really include Jeune Femme. This whole thing is falling apart.
My general rule is that I'd rather vote for things I like in the year I think other people will vote for them if there's a choice. There doesn't seem to be anything to be gained from sticking to the year I saw them in an exercise like this, and I usually don't bother voting for something if it's already appeared prominently the year before because of a much earlier US release date.
― Alba, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 10:21 (seven years ago)
think Western will probs do better next year, will be revising for The Other Side of Hope though
― devvvine, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 10:27 (seven years ago)
On the one hand, I really think we're overestimating how well Western would be doing, even if we all coordinated our votes. On the other, removing it would leave me space for Paddington. Hmmmm...
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 10:36 (seven years ago)
I think I'll throw in Jeune Femme too, just because my cinemagoing has ground to a sudden halt because of becoming a father, so I doubt I'll be submitting a 2018 ballot In fact, Jeune Femme was the very last film I saw before the baby came.
― Alba, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 10:50 (seven years ago)
Jeunne Femme is the one that was also called Montparnasse Bienvenue, right? Good film, just slightly missed my ballot.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 10:54 (seven years ago)
Yes, that's right. I don't know why they called it that in some territories: weird to choose a different title that's still in French.
― Alba, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 11:02 (seven years ago)
Looking fwd to the countdown. I am making no changes and iirc sic said to sit tight.
Morbs its great that you revived the thread. :-)
Hope Gukbe gets works through whatever is going down.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 13:17 (seven years ago)
Paddington, is that the thing about the bear? Just checking..
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 13:18 (seven years ago)
I believe it's known as Jeune Ours in some territories.
― Alba, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 13:46 (seven years ago)
👍
― kelp, clam and carrion (sic), Tuesday, 17 July 2018 20:08 (seven years ago)
Sent you my revised ballot
― Alba, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 21:44 (seven years ago)
The Ornithologist better rank high. It's still on Netflix!
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 17 July 2018 23:32 (seven years ago)
Was pretty high on my 2016 ballot...
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 23:45 (seven years ago)

Just resubmitted!
― devvvine, Wednesday, 18 July 2018 12:33 (seven years ago)
anyone other than Morbs and Soto still planning on sending a revised or new ballot?
― kelp, clam and carrion (sic), Wednesday, 18 July 2018 21:22 (seven years ago)
Yes, I will tonite!
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 18 July 2018 21:23 (seven years ago)
sent!
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 18 July 2018 21:30 (seven years ago)
I send one, I think?
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 18 July 2018 21:33 (seven years ago)
Same
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Wednesday, 18 July 2018 21:44 (seven years ago)
I was considering revising but I think I might as well let mine stand - i don’t think there’s anything I’d add anyway, I was just thinking of shuffling some things and maybe removing a couple
― Centipedes? In this economy? (wins), Wednesday, 18 July 2018 21:50 (seven years ago)
yes, got Fred and Eric's: I haven't been posting "received" notices because that's tedious for everyone else to open an updated thread for, but we've got 12 revisions in so far, with Alfred's still being read by System.
― kelp, clam and carrion (sic), Wednesday, 18 July 2018 22:02 (seven years ago)
I guess i should've saved this revive for when my rewatches are complete in the fall?
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 July 2018 00:32 (seven years ago)
lol,I feel my rewatching, rethinking, reordering is never going to be complete...
― Dan S, Thursday, 19 July 2018 00:38 (seven years ago)
it never should be
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 July 2018 00:48 (seven years ago)
Nope, which is why no better time than the eternal present to rank.
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Thursday, 19 July 2018 01:00 (seven years ago)
― flappy bird, Thursday, 19 July 2018 05:54 (seven years ago)
Alfred, yours still hasn't show up - can you try again?
― kelp, clam and carrion (sic), Thursday, 19 July 2018 06:13 (seven years ago)
Just sent a slightly revised ballot
― i know kore-eda (or something), Thursday, 19 July 2018 08:32 (seven years ago)
I sent it to ilx2017filmp✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧!
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 19 July 2018 10:35 (seven years ago)
That's Gukbe's account. You need to send it ilxmail (ie by clicking on sic's name then 'Send an Email to this User')
― Alba, Thursday, 19 July 2018 11:13 (seven years ago)
election interference from Miami!
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 July 2018 11:18 (seven years ago)
Fraud complete!
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 19 July 2018 13:06 (seven years ago)
Whatever gets Assayas near the top.
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Thursday, 19 July 2018 13:10 (seven years ago)
I did rewatch that recently just to make sure... Rosenbaum was right.
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 July 2018 14:08 (seven years ago)
Yeah, I normally like Assayas, but thought Personal Shopper was just a big load of nothing very much. Still if it beats out the bear film, I'm all for it.
― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 19 July 2018 14:25 (seven years ago)
I would just like to make it clear that I probably would have voted for the bear film if I'd seen it, but I did not.
― Alba, Thursday, 19 July 2018 14:32 (seven years ago)
I don't even want to ask what the bear film is
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 July 2018 14:32 (seven years ago)
Oh Morbiuspaws.
― Alba, Thursday, 19 July 2018 14:35 (seven years ago)
If we add a worst film vote, btw, mine is The Shape of Water
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 July 2018 14:36 (seven years ago)
looking over a few year-end polls, i see a pig film, a rat film, a fishman film. no bear film
