Re: Pick the Big Six

My first post as a new forum member.  Yay!

1. Unforgiven (I agree with other members that we need a genuine western in the DIF catalog, and this is one of my favorites)
2. Citizen Kane (I think a genuine classic film every once in a while is a good idea - start at the top and work your way down)
3. The Dark Knight (get us all set for the final Nolan Batman)
4. Batman Returns (because I love the opening credits and score...and Trey worked on it - The Abyss commentary is great)
5. The Wizard of Oz (I'm skewing classic here since I think some of the newer films will get covered anyway)

Also I refuse to post on this board anymore until the word "member" beneath my avatar is changed to something along the lines of "better than you."

Re: Pick the Big Six

If The Happening doesn't happen, I'm taking the site down for a week.

Take that.

Re: Pick the Big Six

Apparently a Holden vote is worth 200 points.  This may affect the final results.

Re: Pick the Big Six

I'm only half joking.

Edit: so, 100 points.

Re: Pick the Big Six

Voting and vote changing ends at 6 p.m. PST.

You can edit your votes until the timer runs out. CHOOSE WISELY.

At that point, we'll have an official tally we'll handle ourselves. You're welcome to do your own count if you want, but the official one is the official one.

Wow. Very rare to see someone who not only doesn't love this film (I like it, but I don't think it's great, myself. Return To Oz is more my bag, personally), but actually despises it. That's bold. Color me curious.

When I have more time, I promise you I will write an impassioned study of why this film is a monstrosity...

Re: Pick the Big Six

In related news, we're happy to announce that the official Tally Keeper of The Sacred Ark is Phi. So, bribe her, I guess. I don't know. Anyway, her member status has been upgraded accordingly.

When the timer runs out, she's gonna load up every page of the thread and not reload 'em, and count what's there. We'll announce things shortly thereafter.
