Re: Movie Forums Top Foreign Language Films Countdown - Preliminary Th

Yeah, the ballot software, I imagine, makes running one of these a good deal less intimidating, too.

Back in my day we had to PM our lists uphill in the snow both ways.

Re: Movie Forums Top Foreign Language Films Countdown - Preliminary Th

You should only be able to submit one ballot, so by "replacement" do you mean you just sent a PM manually with a new list? If so, then no, that won't count as-is. You'll need to PM me the specifics...

Your ballot also isn't going to be made public against your will or anything. Most people like to share them, but you don't have to. :)

Bump! Still plenty of time to cram. I'll be doing a lot of that over the next few weeks.
