jaedmc Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Is it cool if I send mine in tomorrow? I've just got to order them and can do it first thing in the morning. Five Ballots? How many did we get the last time we did this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Yeah, I'm sending mine at the last minute but you WILL get one. I'm just knocking off as many movies as I can before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Y'all are fine. Even I stick firm to the deadline (which I am not) - I can't do anything till tomorrow when I go back to work since I need access to a printer so I can start tallying ballots. In terms of how many ballots - usually these things averaged around 20. The 90s reboot was WAY higher than that. The 50s was WAY lower. I thought this would be "easier" for people to submit because unless you are like 16, everyone has seen enough stuff to submit a ballot. However this board is full of COWARDS~! So my new goal is the standard 20 and that is gonna require me to continue to pester people 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 THE NOW FIRMER DEADLINE!!!! TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 2017 The big reasons are a) I forgot this upcoming weekend was a 3 day weekend for most b) today being the first day I am back at work in 3 weeks, it is going to take me a minute to compile the ballots I have gotten so far Now - the 17th will be much closer to an actual drop dead date as I want to be totally done with this project before March Madness and I need to give myself some prep time for that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'm ordering my stuff, probably sending it in the next couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I planned to abstain from this project, because I know I will my hate my list as soon as I press "send", but damn it I will try to put something together until next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone hates their list the second they send it. That is half the fun. The other half is me mocking JT for all the movies he forgot to vote for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 that feeling you get when you don't double check the formatting instructions until you're 3/4th through the list and have to go back and reformat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are that far a long - don't sweat changing it As long as I know which order it is going in (1-100 or 100-1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 It's going 1-100, honestly, it's only that I reveresed the Director and Date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Sweet with the new deadline. I'd planned on spending all day at work formatting my list properly and begrudgingly sending it in with huge gaps in stuff I still needed to finish watching. Now I'm just figuring out when the optimal time for lunch will be where no one will bother me as I finish the last 45 minutes of Blade Runner. edit: I've also figured out that between my Google Drive, work desktop and work laptop I have 3 different versions of my list saved that are all hilariously different.

Oh definitely dont change it. I don't c&p - I retype into Excel. It is just easier for me so I am making sure I have the correct movie (especially with this one when the chance of the same titled movie being voted for is very high) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In about 5 minutes I am going to be the only person left in the office so LA Confidential is going onto my laptop so I can see if that makes my ballot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Akira and Snow White & The Seven Dwarves are the only animated films to make my ballot. I feel that I am doing a disservice to Pre-Disney Pixar and Studio Ghibli so hey, I will watch Mononke-Hime, Spirited Away, The Incredibles and Up some time before Friday.

I would likely add Fantasia, castle of cagliostro, mask of the phantasm as potential animated choices. Prob something stop motion too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As deserving as it is to be on someone's Best of All Time list, someone else will have to support Anomalisa because I have never been able to sit through it to the end. As soon as I begin to marvel at the stop motion animation, I have to fight the urge to suicide by drinking bleach because it is so depressing.

That actually could have some low-end possibilities of making mine. Although in quasi-Kaufman directed stuff, I'm not sure if I liked that or Synecdoche, New York more. While we're there, I'm pretty certain that Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, and maybe Elephant Man will get some representation. However, I wonder if anyone will go for The Straight Story when putting Lynch on their list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 For anyone not wanting to make a list for fear of being mocked for leaving something off/putting something silly on their list...I did not include any of the general consensus "Greatest film of all-time picks" on my list, and for the latter, I included 'Commado' and 'Big Trouble in Little China', so...by all means, vote! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 I just finished my first draft and I literally have 20 movies on my list that I really don't want to vote for. Part of this comes from having a giant block of movies that I know I have seen but have no real memories of so I am like "How do I really rank this?" Like for example - I remember watching The Birds for the 60s ballot (and voting for it) but I couldn't really tell you what I did or did not like about it other than being all "Well I can kinda see what people really like this?" I suck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
