Re: Pick the Big Six

True enough.   But asking for (and then collating) a column of seventeen votes per person is a bit more effort than this process probably deserves*.   

If there were lives on the line, maybe.   This is just a list of potential movies for us to talk about on a podcast, there will be no curing of cancer.**.

---------------------------------

*the fact that we genuinely thought there were 18 films on the list suggests we shouldn't try to do too much math.

** there MAY be a cure for lupus as a result of this.  Results not guaranteed.

Re: Pick the Big Six

Considering how much disagreement there is already on the vote, counting ranking all 17 would be excessive. Statistically better, but excessive. Not to mention that I suspect the higher ranked movies will all be done eventually, so the exact ranking is somewhat moot.

Incidentally, I also got a different count from docsub and redxavier, which I think is hilarious. Next time we want a ranked vote I volunteer to pull out the LCC voting page and throw some paint on it tongue

Re: Pick the Big Six

Well, people do keep editing their numbers. Once the thing is done on Thursday, numbers are what they are.

That said, I'mma let Phi do that count. smile

Re: Pick the Big Six

After the big six is finalized will DiF do only 1 of them per week or will they go ahead and do the usual two commentaries per week?

I'm wondering since if they did the two per week it'll give them more time to just worry about getting things ready for the LotR marathon.

Re: Pick the Big Six

You're giving a lot more thought to our schedule than we do.  smile     

Usually we don't start thinking about any particular weekend until about Thursday, when we suddenly remember that we have to do a show.  Then we email each other a lot, to figure out if and when everyone's available, and if there's enough time to do one movie or two or none, etc.

Re: Pick the Big Six

No doubt about Airbender.  I enjoyed the cartoon and seeing how the movie practically butchered it had me hurting while watching.  Understand that they had to modify things but what they did made me almost want me to bang off against a table.

Likely Dorkman's issues with the movie will likely be different then some of mine but I won't be surprise if I agree with him on some of them.

Re: Pick the Big Six

What's hilarious about that, is I used to watch that movie as a kid on HBO, and I would take stuff like that scene at face value and not think anything was wrong or strange about it, to the point that I completely didn't even remember that existed. Seeing that now, though....jesus, how does that even exist. Poor Sean Connery, this and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen made him quit (speaking of movies that you guys really need to do at some point).

Re: Pick the Big Six

I dunno if anyone else on the panel has seen the Avengers (either version), and I dunno how much I'd have to say about it mmyself, other than what I just did.  smile.   

And that Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel remains my ideal ass-kicking dreamgirl to this day.  mmmMMMMmmm.
