Mofo Nominees: 1963

It's a shame This Sporting Life never made the list , I voted for that too, it's a really good film

oh is that it? I never even voted on the final 10. Does that mean Hud was so far ahead that anyone else voting wouldn't have affected it?

I think you should wait until the deadline to tally up. Some of us would like to know how all 10 stack up after everyone has voted.

I'll make the 1964 thread tonight.

I'm really at a loss for words for this thread.

I'm a bit lost myself, what happened?

Am I wrong in assuming that a 1st place vote nets a film 5 points? If not, then at least 9 people would've had to have voted for Hud already, only a couple days into voting. That doesn't seem realistic. Naming a winner isn't the only objective here either; it's also to get people to watch these movies. What this says is don't bother watching the movies because your vote doesn't matter. What if someone ordered a couple DVDs to watch this weekend, like I normally do for these tournaments? Outrageous!

Im with Cricket on this!

I think this is a pretty ridiculous way to end a tournament!

I'm wondering that too.

So does this mean that I don't have to watch the three foreign films?

Have no fear, 1964 will be here!

I didn't see this thread until it was too late, but I'll be part of the 1964!

I based the final votes off the nominees list, Hud had the most votes in total. 12 people sent in lists, I think that's a fair assessment without needing to go into final voting. I'm sorry if someone ordered DVDs for the event, I was under the impression everyone "obtained" their copies. Chill out cricket, 1964 coming up, party like it's your last day on earth.

So you're saying you based this on everyone's original 10 nominations?

Yes.

Did you take into account that people will have to vote for movies they didn't vote for before? Or the fact that some people will be voting for movies they hadn't seen yet when they submitted their original 10 nominations? By your logic, there's no point in having a second round, which is what happened.

Okay, what happens now?

I thought hello101 was still too new to be trusted with this anyway. Someone else should take up the mantle.

Rauld is taking over, but there is no reason why Rauld can't do the second round of 1963 correctly like it was supposed to be done.

I think we should still continue with 1963 and send our top five to Rauld. I also think that Rauld should continue on with all the years until JJ is ready to take back over, if he wants to. That way it will be done consistently every time.
