Not many.

Please do!!

Re: Asian Film Hall of Fame
 

When is the deadline for nominations?

Yes, of course, anyone can join. I hadn't posted the detailed rules as most of us already know them, but for new people I just now posted the rules on the 1st post.

I think I'll do the reveal on this Friday.

Re: Asian Film Hall of Fame
 

sounds like a plan

Re: Asian Film Hall of Fame
 

I sent in my nomination. It shouldn't cause as much anxiety in people as In a Glass Cage did (I had a bit more triggering option as well, but decided otherwise). Let's hope people like action films :)

I rewatched the film I was going to nominate last night but...I wasn't super into it this time around. Still really like the direction it takes, and appreciate how it doesn't go down the expected route, but the runtime just felt really long this time. My second choice, which I'm rewatching this evening is actually half an hour longer, so we'll see how that goes haha.

I do have a third film in mind to rewatch in case that goes poorly too. Hopefully I still like at least one of these.

Re: Asian Film Hall of Fame
 

This is shaping up pretty nicely:) PahaK just sent his nomination in and that makes 10 members so far. I will do the reveal on Friday.

Re: Asian Film Hall of Fame
 

Will sit this out mainly due to time constraints but look forward to seeing the noms

Re: Asian Film Hall of Fame
 

Damn, too much things going on. Barely holding on to the HOF24 and the Personal Rec and now this :laugh:

After trying and failing to sit through option #2, I might actually go with my first choice now. Hopefully I have time to watch the third one before Friday.

So how is the breakdown by country represented so far?

An Asian Action Film!?!

YOU BAST@RD!!


:D;)

you're over thinking this -

OK so far:

Leading the pack is Japan with 6 films.
Then Thailand with 2 films.
And Hong Kong & Taiwan with 1 film each.

Thailand second is a surprise.
No nominations from South Korea is an even bigger one.

And not a one from Kamchatka;)
