"I cannot start my day with a confrontation" The 2017 ILX Film Poll Voting Thread - Ballots Due Sunday, March 4th at 7pm EST.

11pm est

So glad I saw Coco in time.

Sorry for sending four versions of my ballot, Gukbe. That really is it now.

sent!

Voted!

Putting together my ballot I found it was a better year than I thought, for me: few obvious standouts but a bunch of films I liked quite well. I had to cut a few for space that I liked about as much as anything in the lower part of my ballot

just sent mine in

revised ballot sent

holy shit, Double King is ten minutes of your time on Youtube incredibly well spent

Voted :)

me too!

lmao I just realised I completely forgot about new haneke

I remembered that I'd forgotten about it.

it was only released here last week, for a one-week twice-a-day run in one theater with broken seats

I know that sounds like a metaphor but it's not.

i remembered to skip it

I'd missed the post about the life stuff. Sorry, Gukbe! Hope you're OK.

Apologies for the delay. It's all tallied. I need to find time this week for the rollout. Got work and doctor's appointments and prep for an impromptu trip plus moving, so I can't guarantee a good UK/US friendly time. Will aim for Tuesday and Thursday.

just post whenever you can, tension is fun

Tension? What tension? We all know that Florida Project and Dunkirk will win.

Best of wishes, Gukbe, don't worry about Danish time :)

No worries if you can't make Tuesday or Thursday, Gukbe. Roll it out when you can.

Just checking that I didn't miss this.

should be April 15 every year :)

gukbe clearly undergoing some major life shit atm

I hope gukbe is all right. sending love to you g, if you are reading this.

Same.

Yup.

Is there any desire to re-poll if gukbe is not returning?

yeah i'd like to

I still have my ballot, and now I can include the IMDB 2017 films that didn't open until this year. Bonus.

wellll, i won't be including any that weren't released in NYC in '17.

Sounds like a plan (plus I am catching Ex Libris this weekend so it could make it on very belatedly).

how about making Twin Peaks: The Return not eligible? I mean I know I voted for it but it really shouldn't be on here. yea I know it screened in NYC but come on. not that I didn't love it, but these lists are good resources for finding obscure stuff and movies that might've slipped under the radar

What year is this

I'll volunteer to receive ballots and tally if a patsy is needed.

(I'd also look at my own ballot and consider adding a dozen NYC '17 / wide 2018 or world '17 / USA & festivals 2018 flicks, except that I don't think we should set a precedent for removing Twin Peaks. Will totally calculate with and without both Peaks and Phantom Thread though.)

It’s still my #1 I reckon but even if it weren’t I’d be arguing for the non-uptight approach, as few restrictions as possible. It won’t make a difference 99.999% of the time anyway but like last year enough people wanted to vote for OJ made in America to get it just outside the top 10, it would have been weird to disallow it just cause some other people had quibbles. (ftr I also think people should be able to vote for movies that went straight to streaming if they want, whether or not they had that one screening somewhere that would arbitrarily make them exist)

true true

I'm happy to get another crack at my ballot, having seen everything that opened in 2017 in NY & LA but didn't make it here until jan/feb/march

I'll redo my ballot if given a chance -- I've seen a few more 2017 films since March.

I've seen a few more too, but nothing that would change my ballot. I'll happily resubmit if this is really going to happen!

does anyone know Gukbe off-ILX to check in and see if he's okay / happy for someone to take over?

I'll message him.

Gukbe's doing OK - on the mend but won't be doing the poll and sends his apologies. So if you want to pick it up sic, please do. I don't think my ballot will change much and Twin Peaks is definitely staying.

if Gukbe has already tallied it perhaps he can just send it to sic?

xp happy 2 hear hes doing ok :)

yes indeed.

Happy to resubmit my ballot - all this talk of re-doing lists is painful to me.

Best wishes to Gukbe, thanks for stepping up (sic.)

ILXmailed you, Alba.

I’ll redo my ballot, when do you need it by?

HEY GUYS

I have the old ballots, so if you don't want to change anything, just sit tight.

Anyone who wants to revise their ballot due to seeing more '17 releases in the last few months, belated embarrassment at your choices, or fury at The Discourse, please send me something by WEDNESDAY 18th July, 20:00 PDT / Thursday 19th 04:00 BST / Thursday 13:00 AEST.

nice work sic. I'm not changing owt, that's cheating!
