The former is based on an undefined term ("unseen") which may have many different possible definitions. The latter is a simple factual question: was it on a previous list, yes or no?

Re: Vote on the next countdown (Oct. 2023)

Musicals tied for second last time, so it might not need any intervention. Noir had a lot of pent-up demand, I think.

Re: Vote on the next countdown (Oct. 2023)

Heck I'm pretty sure I could have it disallow films automatically, the same way we're able to disallow them on the ballot tool itself for decade lists.

If I'm gonna abuse my power it'd probably be to pick my favorite, which is Films Not On Previous Lists.

Re: self-indulgence.

Presumably it's because self-indulgence isn't a particularly good thing in most walks of life. All else being equal, we tend to admire people who try to serve others. Doesn't...

So would I, but when I say it shouldn't be 92 minutes, I meant it would be bad if the actual version, the only one we can watch, were that length.

If we still get to "keep" the films as they...

Re: Vote on the next countdown (Oct. 2023)

Anyway I guess we need to decide what the options should be, and once I feel comfortable we've got some kinda consensus there I can post the poll, presumably this week.

If there's no consensus I'm...

Re: May The Fourth Be With You!

The Yoda is pretty cool! The forehead makes me think of him less like a muppet and more like a dinosaur.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball - 2024 Season

The solution is to realize that almost all "slumps" and "hot streaks" are illusions. ;) Not even worth benching or starting people for, nevermind dropping or picking up or what have you.

Re: ‘Ideal’ movie running time is 92 minutes, poll claims

I take this to be an "all else being equal" kind of thing. Nobody thinks The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King should be 92 minutes.

A whole, whole lot of movies are clearly longer than...

I have Cruz in my other league, and yeah, oof. But it sounds worse than it is. Just means four runs. Four runs x three outs x nine innings = 108.

Fun. I expect we'll see more quasi-ad efforts like this in the future.

Note: Anderson stars in this one, too.
