I'm sure I'll extend it for a few days after the new year, as is customary with these polls.

it doesn't matter if you settle on a ballot with 25 or 37 or whatever odd number under 50, does it?
― calzino, Friday, 8 December 2017 20:53 (six years ago) link
Nope ... I forgot to institute a minimum I guess, but my plan is to weight ballots.

Sent my ballot. I didn't think I'd vote more than 30 but 50 was easy. I wish I had nominated more Japanese directors and animators.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 18 December 2017 21:35 (six years ago) link
Firmed up my ballot too. Intersectionality takes a hit, tho I'd argue my #1 choice is the only most wokest director who ever lived.

yeah i'm working on mine and got the top 20 pretty solid but it's definitely going to be easy for me to get to 50. probably won't send mine in until boxing day, have a lot of stuff i need to watch. and rewatch. Todd Haynes rocketed up my list after i watched SAFE for the first time in 9 years yesterday.
― flappy bird, Monday, 18 December 2017 23:19 (six years ago) link
Not that it's odd with only four ballots in yet, but only one director's on all four ballots and all four have different #1s.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Monday, 18 December 2017 23:22 (six years ago) link
John Waters has that kind of oeuvre.

You can send ranked or unranked. Or a portion ranked and a portion unranked.

Five ballots in and now no director appears on everyone's ballot. However, nine directors do appear on four ballots.

Can I just send in my number 1? I can do randos for the rest.

Sure. I'll just assign the same number of points to the rest.

I have my 50 carved out and my top (several) ranked. Just a matter of deciding if I want to rank all 50.

Not that anyone was worried, but I assure you, none of these votes factor in as negative votes in the main poll.

― coombespair gaz prices (Noodle Vague), Friday, 12 January 2018 23:26 (six years ago) link
Nolan was my vote too. Can’t say it was anything other than an emotional response. There are plenty of directors make overwrought films that I really like, but he is not one of them
― Dan S, Saturday, 13 January 2018 00:20 (six years ago) link
I was one of the Malick votes. Surprised he got more than one! and fwiw the one film of his I sorta like is Days of Heaven.
― flappy bird, Saturday, 13 January 2018 02:09 (six years ago) link
xpI have to say though, I did see Dunkirk since I voted, and it was the first film of his that I kind of liked
Days of Heaven is one of my favorite movies of all time
― Dan S, Saturday, 13 January 2018 02:11 (six years ago) link
My knowledge of blaxsploitation is anything but comprehensive, but I do not remember ever experiencing 1) cringing or 2) boredom while watching any such title. For what that's worth.
