:D DIE HARD :D
I guess the poll isn't *as* pinko-commie as I thought, but Lethal Weapon/First Blood absence is v sad.
But Die Hard! Aliums! Raiders! Pretty good overall and this was the most ILX fun I've had in forever.
So...now that camp's over, we'll totally write to each other?

basically any perfectly good movie that's not REALLY an action movie and not just to Tuomas that got nominated, i used as filler on the lower half of my ballot. i would've felt really guilty if Inception placed.
