Is there any desire to re-poll if gukbe is not returning?
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 11 July 2018 15:47 (five years ago) link
yeah i'd like to
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 15:57 (five years ago) link
I still have my ballot, and now I can include the IMDB 2017 films that didn't open until this year. Bonus.
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Wednesday, 11 July 2018 16:18 (five years ago) link
wellll, i won't be including any that weren't released in NYC in '17.
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 11 July 2018 16:35 (five years ago) link
Sounds like a plan (plus I am catching Ex Libris this weekend so it could make it on very belatedly).

how about making Twin Peaks: The Return not eligible? I mean I know I voted for it but it really shouldn't be on here. yea I know it screened in NYC but come on. not that I didn't love it, but these lists are good resources for finding obscure stuff and movies that might've slipped under the radar

What year is this
― U. K. Le Garage (wins), Wednesday, 11 July 2018 17:04 (five years ago) link
I'll volunteer to receive ballots and tally if a patsy is needed.
(I'd also look at my own ballot and consider adding a dozen NYC '17 / wide 2018 or world '17 / USA & festivals 2018 flicks, except that I don't think we should set a precedent for removing Twin Peaks. Will totally calculate with and without both Peaks and Phantom Thread though.)

It’s still my #1 I reckon but even if it weren’t I’d be arguing for the non-uptight approach, as few restrictions as possible. It won’t make a difference 99.999% of the time anyway but like last year enough people wanted to vote for OJ made in America to get it just outside the top 10, it would have been weird to disallow it just cause some other people had quibbles. (ftr I also think people should be able to vote for movies that went straight to streaming if they want, whether or not they had that one screening somewhere that would arbitrarily make them exist)

I'm happy to get another crack at my ballot, having seen everything that opened in 2017 in NY & LA but didn't make it here until jan/feb/march
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 18:33 (five years ago) link
I'll redo my ballot if given a chance -- I've seen a few more 2017 films since March.
― a shomin-geki poster with some horror elements (WilliamC), Wednesday, 11 July 2018 18:41 (five years ago) link
I've seen a few more too, but nothing that would change my ballot. I'll happily resubmit if this is really going to happen!
― Cherish, Thursday, 12 July 2018 17:03 (five years ago) link
does anyone know Gukbe off-ILX to check in and see if he's okay / happy for someone to take over?
― kelp, clam and carrion (sic), Thursday, 12 July 2018 20:05 (five years ago) link
I'll message him.
― Alba, Thursday, 12 July 2018 20:36 (five years ago) link
Gukbe's doing OK - on the mend but won't be doing the poll and sends his apologies. So if you want to pick it up sic, please do. I don't think my ballot will change much and Twin Peaks is definitely staying.
― Alba, Friday, 13 July 2018 17:35 (five years ago) link
if Gukbe has already tallied it perhaps he can just send it to sic?

Happy to resubmit my ballot - all this talk of re-doing lists is painful to me.
Best wishes to Gukbe, thanks for stepping up (sic.)

ILXmailed you, Alba.

HEY GUYS
I have the old ballots, so if you don't want to change anything, just sit tight.
Anyone who wants to revise their ballot due to seeing more '17 releases in the last few months, belated embarrassment at your choices, or fury at The Discourse, please send me something by WEDNESDAY 18th July, 20:00 PDT / Thursday 19th 04:00 BST / Thursday 13:00 AEST.

just ILXmail 'em to me, it's going to make it easier to tell the old from the new.

It's tempting to resubmit so I could not vote for Phantom Thread a second time, but go with what I have--went through my last-x-movies posts since January and couldn't see anything I'd want to add.
― clemenza, Sunday, 15 July 2018 01:07 (five years ago) link
deadline at least a week OK?
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 15 July 2018 01:22 (five years ago) link
I still haven't seen enough good movies from 2017 to feel confident about submitting a ballot, but I just checked out the title that I imagine will end up winning the poll from the library, so we'll see?

Ugh, I wasn't going to change my ballot, but I kinda want to vote for Paddington...

I think 120 BPM is the only one I might add to my list.

is there any point in resubmitting to vote for Western or is everyone voting for it next year?
― devvvine, Sunday, 15 July 2018 13:23 (five years ago) link
I can't find my ballot, but I think I voted for it this year.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 15 July 2018 13:43 (five years ago) link
If I finally get round to seeing it and like it, it’ll be on next year’s. I do have some standards (although I can never remember what they are)
― Centipedes? In this economy? (wins), Sunday, 15 July 2018 13:46 (five years ago) link
I will be voting for Western in the poll of films we saw in 2018
― Ward Fowler, Sunday, 15 July 2018 14:27 (five years ago) link
Oh, thank you for reminding me of Western. It will be high on my list.
― Alba, Sunday, 15 July 2018 14:27 (five years ago) link
Western is quite emphatically a 2018 film here but I ignore that criterion all the time for films that come out in the early months of the year and that I know our stateside friends will be voting for because they saw it 9 months before we did. Obv I also vote for stuff that came out here that didn’t make it there yet, as an honest snapshot of my viewing and a corrective to the America-is-the-world chauvinism that leads to thread titles like THE LOBSTER (2016) - but I’m pretty sure at least once I have voted for the same film again in its year of global impact lol. & I vote for festival films fucking whenever cause I don’t give a shitStaggered release dates continue to suck in the DCP era not least because of this annual conversation itt
― Centipedes? In this economy? (wins), Sunday, 15 July 2018 14:42 (five years ago) link
Western did not receive a US theatrical release until this year.
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 15 July 2018 15:02 (five years ago) link
Haha so only Fred saw it last year? I changed my mind then, we should all vote for it now
― Centipedes? In this economy? (wins), Sunday, 15 July 2018 15:05 (five years ago) link
It thought it got released over most of Europe in 2017, so I'll doubt I was the only one who saw it in 17.
Btw, is there any chance I could get my ballot sent to me? I have no idea where I put it, and no idea what I voted for, and I really really really want to help Paddington.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 15 July 2018 15:09 (five years ago) link
a gravely miscalculated revive on my part
