MovieMeditation finally sent in his list - pathetic, as it may be. ;)
That takes us up to 42!

Sent my list in. I didn't get to watch all the films I'd hoped to watch this week, but I'm glad I persevered and watched Les Enfants du Paradis at least. Looking forward to the countdown, should be interesting!

Sent my list in earlier today.

Yes, we've hit 45 lists with the three mentioned above, and I have also received a list from Jeff Costello. So takes us to 46 lists, which makes me even greedier now to reach 50. :D

I'm working on finalizing my list tonight, so I should be sending it in within the next few hours. :)

This was harder than I thought it would be, but I sent my list. I think it was even harder to figure out the order of the movies than it was to narrow it down to only 25 movies.

Sending mine later today also, still want to rewatch 2 films for the order.

If it's possible, I'd like to send my list in on the fifth. Is that alright with you, SilentVamp?

I have to quickly find/remember some edgy/weird/kinky/stupid 40's movie so I can spam about it during the countdown.

Just send it now? It's a lot of work already and a couple days delays the results.

Well, Ed Wood's brilliant career started in the 40s...

That is OK. I know the situation as to why this is necessary. :)

The countdown will begin next Sunday. I plan on working on the numbers tomorrow, and adding his list will just adjust things here and there. It won't be that big of a deal to do.
Anyway, Iroquois and gbgoodies have sent their lists. That takes the total up to 48. PG's and Cob's lists will get us 50. And Frightened Inmate is going to be sending one. That will, obviously, take us over the 50 mark.
Great job!! :up:
And, of course, if anyone else still has interest in sending a list, there is still some time left. :yup:
SilentVamp
09-03-17, 04:38 PM
Mark has sent his list.
That will take the eventual total up to 52 lists!
SilentVamp
09-04-17, 02:21 AM
HashtagBrownies, Sexy Celebrity, Pussy Galore, Frightened Inmate and sarah f have all sent in lists tonight.
To clarify, that gives us 54 lists right now.
I believe Destiny will be submitting one, and then we will just be waiting on Cob's.

Is this considered a good turnout, compared to past countdowns?

I'd say so. Fifties list had 66 entries.

After much harassment, I got 79 people to vote in the animation countdown.

SilentVamp
09-04-17, 04:07 PM
Clazor and Destiny sent theirs in overnight. Now our total is 56. Just waiting on
Cobpyth's, which will obviously take us to 57. Then I think we will be done. :)
I'd say so. Fifties list had 66 entries.
How many movies did you have last year? Somewhere I am getting the numbers mixed up. I thought that you only had 57 lists last year and I was happy because I thought that this year was going to be tied with last year's. Were the movies like 357, or something like that? Maybe that is where I am getting that number from.
rauldc14
09-04-17, 04:26 PM
I looked it up and it was 66 lists. I can't remember how many movies though. Remember, the 70s list had 99 or 100 (can't remember)

It stands to reason we'd get fewer lists going back in time, but 57 is a respectable number.

09-04-17, 04:45 PM
57 is awesome for the 40s!!! Could have been 59 but Daniel and Rhys didn't submit I believe

Just arrived home. Will send my list in less than an hour. Thanks a lot for your kind understanding, SilentVamp.

Alright. Again sorry I haven't been around, guys. What did we get for total number of lists: 57? That's pretty good for the 40s, I think. Can't wait till we start the countdown. ETA?

I will begin things this coming Sunday, September 10th. I am not too sure on an approximate time yet. I am thinking I will do it between 2:00-4:00 in the afternoon (Central time). That is my plan for right now. I will know by Friday what time for sure, but I am planning on that time for now.

I started the '70s List less than 24 hours after the turn in deadline. And I had 99 ballots. Not bragging, just saying.
:D
Don't listen to them, the masses are always clamoring for their countdowns as quickly as possible. ;) They're going to lean on you to post them more quickly than you'd planned, too. They'll be totally shameless about it. :D

Id say do them however paced the thread runner who opened it wants too. But this kind of countdown tends to be faster. When the 50s was done it was done 2 a day. And that seems a good format.
Holden Pike

All of the big, official decade lists have revealed two movies a day, until you get to the top ten when you slow to one a day.
We were talking about how long the gap has been since the lists were turned in to the first two reveals (still waiting!).
Miss Vicky
09-08-17, 01:55 PM
I started the Animation Countdown the day after the deadline....
SilentVamp
09-08-17, 05:50 PM
I said this is April:
The deadline for all lists will be Sunday, September 3rd
Then I said this:
The countdown will begin on Sunday, September 10th
It has been out there this whole time that it was going to be that gap of a week between the deadline and the start of the countdown. Besides, I said just a few days ago that I would start it on Sunday. It is already Friday. All of those days have gone by and there are finally comments being made on the wait?
I am sure everyone has a lot going on in their lives, but I do have things going on that, unfortunately, take up a big chunk of my time. I knew back in April that the week was going to be needed before this was going to begin. Will I be able to do a reveal everyday? Of course! Unless something unforeseeable happens, that is not going to be a problem at all. Would I have been able to get everything in order to have begun this countdown the following day? Absolutely not. There was no way. I needed this week. It was the only way to ensure that I would get everything done right. :)
I will definitely begin this on Sunday sometime during the hours that I said the other day. My original plan was to just kick things off with the one point films and then begin the actual countdown the following day. But if you guys are that eager to get the countdown started, would you like me to also go ahead and reveal the first two films on the list that day?

this is your show, SilentVamp, run it the way YOU wish to.
Opening with the one pointers sounds wonderful. And then starting the countdown the day after will do beautifully.
And, as previously, and will a number of times during this, THANK YOU for hosting this!!
Can someone link me to a relevant post on what's happening, please?
Thanks again Vamp for hosting, was going to say when the Countdown started but i'm really confused right now.

SilentVamp, you should run this countdown when you want to and how you want to, and if they want to complain about it, you should make everyone wait until Christmas to start the countdown. :D

yeah i had at least 7 less than i claimed

Improper apostrophe use.
Apostrophe's imply possession
Late to the party but did anyone already note that the apostrophe here is incorrect? It's a plural, not a possessive.
You had one job et cetera.
