22nd Hall of Fame

Late to my own party!

I hate to tell ya this, but you've never won. The movie with the highest points is inducted into the MoFo Hall of Fame, that's all. You've made several past comments about winning, I sure hope you're not only joining these to 'win'. I have noticed you don't put much effort into these and wait until the last couple weeks to watch the noms.

Glad you could make it before the party turned to a funeral with all the roastings I had prepared...

Wow. Relax.

I consider the induction of both Her and Dances With Wolves to be "wins" for me and there's nothing wrong with seeing it that way or choosing movies with an eye on winning. As long as he's getting everything watched and written up and has his ballot in by the deadline, you've got no reason to complain. Deadlines exist for a reason. It's not a race.

I obviously know the movie is the winner, it was a joke. And the fact that I always nominate relatively unknown films, instead of consagrated classics should say enough on how I play these, especially considering for how long I've been joining HoFs.
Regarding how I watch the films, won't say sorry for watching films whenever I want as long as it's inside the deadline (and when I'm not, which doesn't happen that often btw, I say sorry). You don't get to judge how serious I take these just because I watch everything in the last few weeks.

Damn... this quickly turned into the 22nd Brawl of Fame.

I am just double checking everything. We are getting there. I'm slow I know

Nope not a brawl, just saying people don't win the movie does, I've said that before many times. Actually it was MarkF who said that to me once in an HoF, and it made sense.

Sure. I don’t think anybody thinks otherwise.

However, I don’t see anything wrong either with finding some fun in a friendly competition. The movie might be the winner but the person picked it not knowing the other nominees and thereby he or she also has something to celebrate. I would be glad to win an HoF. I wouldn’t selfishly claim that I somehow accomplished an amazing feat all by myself. But I don’t see why it can’t be someone winning with his or hers movie. It’s not the important part but I think it’s a fun part of the HoF. It’s people discussing movies after all. It is about the people in some shape or form. The movies don’t watch or discuss themselves...

I appreciate Wyldesyde going with a doc I'm glad I watched Waco too as it opened my eyes to stuff that I never knew happened. Though it's production values were low, sorry to say I did vote it last.

Had Waco at 10th.

My reason for that is mostly the very biased and off-putting presentation of this tragic event. Secondly, it wasn’t that well made imo. But it’s a very interesting story, I’ll give it that. I would love to watch a documentary covering more of this story.

Anyways, as I said in the past I admire the choice of a doc for a HoF. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of that and I might do it myself too.

9th Place: Shine

I had at #6 State of Siege...I thought it was a cool nom and Siddon often picks unique stuff, which I'm glad of.

Raul can you post a little slower, I can't type that fast

Wow, Shine was 9th! Geez I thought you guys loved that and I had predicted that to win, shows what I know! I had it at number 9.

Slow down!

Ehm, State of Siege was dead last for me. Just didn’t work for me. I’m just not the right person for this type of movie. I definitely see others would love it. But I couldn’t stand it.

Shine I had at 8. Decent biopic but far from perfectly executed. Interesting to a degree but with quite a few problems.

Shine and State of Siege deserved to be higher!
