Deadline officially extended in thread title.

I'm assembling now. The trick for me is omitting decent filmmakers (i.e. Joseph L. Mankiewicz) who made only one great film.

ie A Letter to Three Wives?
Five Fingers is pretty good too.

Good films, yes.

decent director, better writer.

24 ballots in and I'm still surprised by some of the directors just getting their first vote.

I love seeing juxtapositions on that spreadsheet as startling as "Eddie Murphy" between Murnau and Naruse.

i have at least one long-careered director who i'm probably going to give a place to on the strength of one film i love

i am excite
There were some ballots that I didn't know whose they were, so I just wrote their name or whatever the email suggested it might be. Also, if you haven't gotten a response back from me saying that your ballot's recorded, that means I didn't get your ballot and you should re-submit.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Friday, 5 January 2018 02:28 (six years ago) link
hmm i sent my ballot on xmas eve but didn't get a response, just sent you another email

No Hollis Frampton - I suggest we stop this now.

i never made the mistake of looking at the nominees' list
still i mostly went for canonical narrative directors
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Friday, 5 January 2018 19:09 (six years ago) link
Yeah just sent this
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 5 January 2018 19:15 (six years ago) link
Oh I looked at the list - can't believe I didn't nominate Frampton, he's my favourite canon experimental filmmaker.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 5 January 2018 19:16 (six years ago) link
tfw you haven't included Ray or Kurosawa in your final 50.

Man Ray, Nick Ray or Satyajit?
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Friday, 5 January 2018 19:22 (six years ago) link
I haven't included any Rays though I was talking about Satyajit.
Making me ill rn but there was some modern shit I wanted to include.

True, don't want to seem pushy, just legitimately concerned my #1 vote Michael Bay won't make the cut.
(I jest)

I don't want to give anything away other than to say that the top dozen or so have really started to firm up their leads and positions, but for a little while there, we were looking at a truly "Deeper and Deeper" at #3 on the Madonna poll situation. (I've said too much.)
Also, I WILL say this: If you're on the fence about voting, fully the entire bottom half of the list could be radically altered with just one or two votes.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Friday, 5 January 2018 20:20 (six years ago) link
Yeah, get voting people!
The process took me an hour and a half, and the longlist was 110 directors... It was too hard so basically filled 20-50 in 5 minutes (which is probably the right way to go for me).

Only regret was not nominating Claude Lelouch and reading one could do a write in only after I submitted, but such is life.
― ♫ very clever with maracas.jpg ♫ (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 5 January 2018 20:23 (six years ago) link
Only get voting if you vote for the same things as me! Otherwise go away!

Only one person has voted for one specific director that made me want to make like Mr. McAllister with those two Tracy Flick ballots.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Friday, 5 January 2018 20:36 (six years ago) link
...one person so far
― not raving but droning (Noodle Vague), Friday, 5 January 2018 20:38 (six years ago) link
xp just my way of saying that one awesomely left-field director choice was making major headway to finish in the top 3 ... and could still tbh, since I haven't counted today's ballots yet
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Friday, 5 January 2018 20:38 (six years ago) link
this could be a pretty weird awesome list
FTFM.
