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

xp
mea culpa, due to an accounting error that wasn't showing up on my log. Actual worst, unranked:

Three Billboards
Song to Song
Blade Runner 2049

(these are all about 4/10, i don't have to see even more putrid films anymore as i am not a critic)

What is the pig film?

Okja, I assume. (How can I monetize this part-time work as a translator?)

Three Billboards and all those cops.

I got okja but I don’t know the rat film

It's literally called Rat Film so is a bit of a trick.

Can't believe I forgot Okja. I think Babe looms too large in my mind for another pig film.

Motel Hell is the only pig film you need:

Haven't seen Three Billboards, and I liked Blade Runner 2049 and The Shape of Water, so my worst/most overrated pick is The Florida Project.

Here is my list of offal.

Baby Driver my runner up for worst

No film with Ansel can be #worst

mediocre

it's hard to believe A Quiet Passion was only last year as i saw it at the NYFF '16

lol at Soto's revised ballot being exactly the same as his OG except with a different #24

That's low for Paddington :(

mine will likely have one new entry

understood - if you don't get yours in by the time I finish tallying, I'll add Paddington to the top.

never kid a kidder

when's the deadline? i am The catalyst, i should get at least a week.

it was 11pm last night NYC time

you're on fire today!

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

well how the hell was i supposed to see that amidst all this chum and effluvia?

sent, you dastardly globetrotter

how many voters, sic?

looks like

TWENTY old voters who didn't want to revise, or didn't see the revive, or have quit ILX forever

SEVENTEEN of us who revised their ballots

...unless Frederik completely changed his entire ballot, as I don't have an old one that looks like his choices, and can't tell from an email address that anybody is him.

of all the ppl we don't want voting twice...

Is there a ballot w/ Bear film/Dunkirk at 1/2? That should be Fred.

oh, I have his new one

It's Dunkirk/Bear, actually.

And I only changed one vote so the old one should be recognizable. It had 'Your Name' at 25.

shit i should've put that on my ballot

wtf is Bear film

The Revenant. Hey, it premiered in 2017 in Denmark. Actually the topselling film of the year.

jesus, DiCaprio w/ Marty is bad enough

Lol, that was way off, Revenant is of course oscar bait 2016 and thr equivalent this year was La La Land. The best selling film of 2017 was of course the wookie film.

what's up, 3am crew. 614 valid votes cast, looking like it'll be a top 52 because of ties.

just got around to watching Ex Libris: The New York Public Library the night before last. didn't watch it in time for the vote, but hope to see it in the rollout

lol at Soto's revised ballot being exactly the same as his OG except with a different #24

― kelp, clam and carrion (sic),

Travel, etc.

If everyone's ready to move into the auditorium and take their seats, the results thread is about to begin.

Straw poll: who's for voting 2018 in February again, and who's for waiting until, say, June?

in on the first, happy to see it whenever it's done
PADDINGTON 2 y'all

would march be a nice compromise

February. I realize there's this compulsion for some to see everything before drawing up a list, but it's just a poll. If you miss something this year, you catch it next year. In general, I hate the modern tendency to rush everything--record and film reviews now, opinions now, year-end lists in early December--but February is perfectly reasonable. A year-end poll in June seems silly to me.

June was a proposed compromise against the much-loved July poll of this year

I thought June was fine esp as a counterbalance to October year end polls

Do it in Feb w/ the Oscars

i guess we won't know who made the real five-baggers unless oscar tells us

June

yeah June, fionnland has a good point about it breaking up the glut of lists/polls this time of year. and those movies that don't make it out of new york or la by march 2019 might be someone's favorite, it's happened to me. but oddly this is the first year ever where I've seen everything of note (except Cold War). somehow everything made it here by the end of the year. but this is the first time this has happened to me 15+ years after leaving new york.

February is perfect for me, personally. It gives me time to go to Gothenburg and catch up in January, and it means I get the list-making over with as the new festival year begins in Berlin. But ok, if the rest of you want to wait until June, I guess that's what we'll do.
