ILX All-Time Film and Morbsies Poll: Voting And Campaigning Thread (Ballots Due Like I Dunno Maybe March 1, 2021?)

Same, will start drafting in a bit.

Only doing a top 10

Just sent the full thing. *phew*

Just drafting now - I am putting one experimental short, one B-movie, one quasi-documentary. Making sure there is one from every continent (bar Oceania lol) means I need to go to 11

Almost done.

Genre-wise: no silents, Comedies or Romance or SF or action, just arthouse and politics and aesthetics day and night lol no

but arthouse and politics also include romance and comedies

I mean, how highly placed is The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear?

Not a lot of laughter in my choices, and all the love goes bad

ok - so I have put in a Romantic SF film I've never watched in the cinema but have seen on TV about 20 times.

My Latin American choice was one of the weirdest random screenings of recent years that was just awesome.

So 12 it is! I'll sleep on it and email tomorrow.

Took me all the strength to not put Stone's JFK in this lol.

I put in a bunch of Latin American stuff, had to leave out some more, probably forgot about or never saw even more.

(bar Oceania lol)

fp’d

Wake in Fright
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Mad Max
Crocodile Dundee
Muriel's Wedding

Think you get the picture.

The Devil's Playground and The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith though.

I mean, how highly placed is The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear?

You know that great, great ilx poster xyzzzz__?

so they call me "James the Red," eh? Ha, ha, ha, ha!

You know what they say: James does the Redding and ILX does the Blecching! Aha aha aha!

ballot sent

this poll is going to rule!

Not sure how and why but yes, have received approximately 12 new ballots in the last week plus change.

Worried my ballot will be the most boring.

do we have a hard and fast deadline yet?

yeah March 1st

lol

Finished!

Cool.

Sorry for submitting multiple times, Eric. Third time was the charm.

Ballot from Soto received! Thus initiates the last leg of the voting window. Ballots must be received within the dwindling days of May to be eligible!

Will you post a list of received ballots to allay baseless concerns that important votes may have been lost in the post?

That might indeed be helpful

Otherwise I might just send you a fourth ballot

I have the urge to change mine. Would that be OK?

There was a fourth ballot.

I'll update the list before the deadline. Also, if anyone submitted a ballot without their ILX username attached to it, I wouldn't mind getting a clarification email.

Did you receive the ballot from the vaguely sinister Eastern European fellow with a little dog entitled I Was a Friend of Dr. Morbius?

Is it too much to ask for the director points to be tallied as well, since many of us will pick different favorites, at least those of us who try to stick to the one film per director as closely as possible.

Eric: I submitted a ballot back in March, but I'm about to email you a new one. Cool?

To insure fairness, the ballots will be counted by Akim Tamiroff and Brian Donlevy.

William Demarest to stand guard during the tabulation, ya get me?

The spots, the spots!

Crypto, go ahead and submit a revised one

Not going to speak for Eric, but that's the sort of data massage that this pollrunner loved for an enthusiastic voter to deal with after the rollout.

OK, here's what I sent for my ballot:

Give up your inquiries which are completely useless, and consider these words a second warning.
We hope, for your own good, that this will be sufficient.

:)

Excellent point, WmC!

I tentatively volunteer ahead of time;)

Sent

The nomination list is Forbidden (#403) for some reason. Is Eric's post from January the final noms list? Can't vote for anything not on it?
