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?

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?
― Dan Worsley, Friday, 13 July 2018 19:31 (five years ago) link
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.

It's tempting to resubmit so I could not vote for Phantom Thread a second time, but go with what I have--went through my last-x-movies posts since January and couldn't see anything I'd want to add.
― clemenza, Sunday, 15 July 2018 01:07 (five years ago) link
deadline at least a week OK?

I still haven't seen enough good movies from 2017 to feel confident about submitting a ballot, but I just checked out the title that I imagine will end up winning the poll from the library, so we'll see?

Ugh, I wasn't going to change my ballot, but I kinda want to vote for Paddington...
― Frederik B, Sunday, 15 July 2018 06:47 (five years ago) link
I think 120 BPM is the only one I might add to my list.

Sent mine

is there any point in resubmitting to vote for Western or is everyone voting for it next year?
― devvvine, Sunday, 15 July 2018 13:23 (five years ago) link
I can't find my ballot, but I think I voted for it this year.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 15 July 2018 13:43 (five years ago) link
If I finally get round to seeing it and like it, it’ll be on next year’s. I do have some standards (although I can never remember what they are)
― Centipedes? In this economy? (wins), Sunday, 15 July 2018 13:46 (five years ago) link
I will be voting for Western in the poll of films we saw in 2018
― Ward Fowler, Sunday, 15 July 2018 14:27 (five years ago) link
Oh, thank you for reminding me of Western. It will be high on my list.
― Alba, Sunday, 15 July 2018 14:27 (five years ago) link
Western is quite emphatically a 2018 film here but I ignore that criterion all the time for films that come out in the early months of the year and that I know our stateside friends will be voting for because they saw it 9 months before we did. Obv I also vote for stuff that came out here that didn’t make it there yet, as an honest snapshot of my viewing and a corrective to the America-is-the-world chauvinism that leads to thread titles like THE LOBSTER (2016) - but I’m pretty sure at least once I have voted for the same film again in its year of global impact lol. & I vote for festival films fucking whenever cause I don’t give a shitStaggered release dates continue to suck in the DCP era not least because of this annual conversation itt
― Centipedes? In this economy? (wins), Sunday, 15 July 2018 14:42 (five years ago) link
Western did not receive a US theatrical release until this year.
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 15 July 2018 15:02 (five years ago) link
Haha so only Fred saw it last year? I changed my mind then, we should all vote for it now
― Centipedes? In this economy? (wins), Sunday, 15 July 2018 15:05 (five years ago) link
It thought it got released over most of Europe in 2017, so I'll doubt I was the only one who saw it in 17.
Btw, is there any chance I could get my ballot sent to me? I have no idea where I put it, and no idea what I voted for, and I really really really want to help Paddington.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 15 July 2018 15:09 (five years ago) link
a gravely miscalculated revive on my part
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 15 July 2018 15:17 (five years ago) link
Paddington will win

I haven’t seen either of them! I’ve heard good things. Won’t speak for morbius but I have nothing against kid movies, just get peeved by the amount of cultural real estate they commandeer these days. We’re all having fun here
― Centipedes? In this economy? (wins), Sunday, 15 July 2018 15:35 (five years ago) link
Oh, wait, found my ballot. Yeah, I voted for Western.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 15 July 2018 17:09 (five years ago) link
Western was in the 2017 Sight and Sound top ten, fwiw.
― Ward Fowler, Sunday, 15 July 2018 17:42 (five years ago) link
elitists
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 15 July 2018 17:45 (five years ago) link
Re-submitted! Mostly just to re-order, because some wore better over time.
― Cherish, Sunday, 15 July 2018 17:46 (five years ago) link
thread titles like THE LOBSTER (2016)
wow I saw this on a plane (that took off from US soil) in 2015
The Paddingtons are absolutely "family" films, not kid films, and the balance is tipped much further toward adult viewers and film nerds in #2
btw USA, it's screening again in Regal theatres on Tuesday Aug 14 and Weds Aug 15, for $1

Probably too obscure. Try Dunkirk.

lemme tell you about a little film called Darkest Hour

Meh. Their Finest! Lone Scherfig, one of the great.

sent my revised ballot! also mostly to re-order
― Dan S, Monday, 16 July 2018 21:57 (five years ago) link
I redid mine from scratch before looking at my old one; discovered that the first four were the same with one order flipped. After two days I decided I was right before and flipped them again. (A whole bunch were dropped altogether.)

― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Tuesday, 17 July 2018 02:06 (five years ago) link
sic, via ILX mail, apparently. Is it reliable?
A reminder that the shamefully overlooked The Other Side of Hope is available from the Criterion Collection.
