THE FUTURE IS FILMIC EJACULATIONS: The ILX Film Poll (for 2018 viewings) Voting Thread - Ballots Due Friday June 21st

neither been released in the US as yet, so stay in your ivory theater

xp

you're at your most Dar-RILL in these poll threads, aintcha?

xp yeah, La Flor opens in the US this August and Dead Souls only had a limited showing at NY Anthology FIlm Archives last December as far as I know

the hardest part of organizing a ballot for me will be the 'new-to-you' older films from prior years, I watched so many classic films for the first time in 2018

Sent!

I do make that older films list in January bcz it's self-limiting

limiting my new-to-you list to actual cinema screenings to narrow it down a little

I did the same thing

any roma talk really did just disappear as soon as award season ended, only remembered it existed when i was trying to work out where the pic at the top was from

It did. And I'm fine with that.

ballot sent

i voted!

will watch what some have called "the most impressive directorial debut by an actor since Night of The Hunter" before i vote

Oh god, that blurb. I'd settle for the "least embarrassing directorial debut by an actor since Lady Bird." Maybe.

lol what’s that for, eighth grade?

not gonna even ask if that was for Jonah Hill

we need til Monday

a star is born, have not seen either of the latter either

voted

didn't get around to Zama but I did watch La Cienaga the other night and wow, not my thing at all

more like ZZZZZama, amirite?

can now confirm that a star is born is not as good as dead souls

better than cold war tho

Martel can take some getting used to; Zama is a *little* more plotty tho

I didn't mind the pace, I just cannot get into body horror. I'll check out Zama and keep plugging away with the rest. I thought a lot of the composition in La Cineaga was striking.

after seeing La Ciénaga, The Holy Girl and The Headless Woman I was primed for another film by Lucrecia Martel

I hope some people are voting for Hale County This Morning, This Evening

there's no body horror in Zama (which is not to say there's no bodily injury)

it is maybe more abstract than her previous films but there is so much to contemplate with it

Are ballots due by Friday or on Friday? I just found out I have to be on the road tomorrow so that only leaves Friday morning to squeeze in one more movie (probably Shoplifters].

I loved Shoplifters! thank you for reminding me to vote for it!

amazed you are all so all organized about your 2018 favorites. I feel like I will forget something and won't realize it until the results are rolled out

You should watch Shoplifters, so deadline is 19:00 PDT Friday / noon Saturday AEST / 3am Saturday BST.

7 o'clock pm california time friday, I will have my ballot in by then

Does ballot have to be weighted? Will it mess things up to have an unweightes or mixed ballot?

'unweighted'

Votes are weighted. Please send your lists with your TOP choice at the TOP, but do not number your choices. (It's a ballache for formatting.)

Yeah, saw that, thanks.

ballot sent!

just sent mine, too

Gonna send after lunch.

sic, is AEST what i think it is? just tell me when (I can't do one before tonight)

Voted

tt and i have voted. no internet videos this time, although my ballot is as usual a lovely reduction of hers (with the same #1, which sic would be doing very well to exclude)

excited to read that!

I guess there are a couple more hours to vote? looking forward to seeing the results

I have until noon tomw, is that it?

lol

OK, sent

no rewatching done

Paddington 2 didn't come out in the US until 2019

untrue

dnw

sorry to break any rules but I included something on my ballot that only had an opening in Hong Kong in 2018

but it appeared on the Criterion Channel and was so beautiful I had to vote for it

goddammit, I am now sending a revised ballot bcz I forgot two titles.

sic, you are a hardass
