Yeah, like I was gonna go back thru all the posts to make sure. :-)

So who is running this now? And are the max number of noms ever going to be moved up? Are we still sticking with having to 3rd everything as well?

As mentioned before, even if we continue on at the rate we have been, it'll be December before we start...

[webstar1000]

Yes... tim?

Go for it, T-Dogz.

It has been agreed that I take control of the tournament, with Mattrick acting as co-host when he returns.

In order to save this tournament and to move things forward, I'm implementing the following rule changes with immediate effect:

1. There is no longer an individual limit on movie scene "nominations". Please continue to number your nominations though, so I can keep track of numbers / participation rates.

2. The process of having to "third" movie scenes is scrapped. If a movie scene is good enough to be "seconded", then it's in!

3. The wait time between nominating/seconding remains at 3.

These new rules should help to get things back on track, and alleviate a lot of the frustration felt amongst participants . When I finish work later this evening (UK time), I will update the Google sheet to reflect the changes made.

I hope this helps!

Nomination #8

I'd like to nominate this scary scene from The Babadook

The Babadook - Nighttime Scene
2014

Spoiler:

Nomination #21: The automat scene from Easy Living (1937), directed by Mitchell Leisen:

This is one of my favorite movies from the '30s but it's not as widely known, I'm afraid. But I think this scene is pretty iconic.

nomination #17

Now we don't have any Italian Giallo yet, do we?
Here's one of the best scenes ever, from the absolute master of the genre - except maybe for Mario Bava.

scene: double homicide
film: Suspiria
director: Dario Argento
year: 1977

soundtrack: Goblin!! Most awesome soundtrack ever!

Second! I was just thinking we need some more good horror scenes nominated.

My god, I nominated what I consider to be one of modern horror error's most iconic scenes early on in this thing (the one where the girl comes out of the TV screen in The Ring). I could not even get a second. It's still sitting in column one. I just don't understand.

I'll second that!! I missed it. Man the first time I seen that ... it tripped me out!!!

The Ring Samira scene has been seconded. Can some move it over a column. Am I correct in assuming that with the change, columns two and three will be merged?

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Nomination # 21

Scene: The Barbarian Horde Battle Scene
Film: Gladiator
Director: Ridley Scott
Year: 2000
Spoiler: None

I will be doing a full update of the Google sheet very soon, including merging columns two and three.

You are a better than man than I.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

The Google Sheet has been fully updated and columns two and three merged. We currently now have 139 official entries in the tournament!

Nomination:

The Dirty Dozen
Scene: Jim Brown bombing
1967

[Still Servant]

Until recently I've been good at updating the Google Sheets along with T-Dogz. His presence here has been more than any of us. I don't love making all the scenes seconded automatically in, but I understand why it needs to be done. There's a lot of average scenes that got seconds somehow.

I just hope this doesn't squeeze out more deserving scenes that haven't even been nominated yet.

Thirding a scene is no longer necessary?

The requirement to "third" a scene has been scrapped entirely. Scenes that are "seconded" become official entries in the tournament.

[TravelinJack]

Is the list on the first page up to date, or is there a new list going somewhere I missed? I'm going to try to jump in on some movie scene action, but don't want to duplicate.

The list is fully up to date. At the bottom of the spreadsheet on the left hand side, there is a tab that annotates what post # it has been updated to, and by whom.

They're coming to get you Barbara!

I second the Death of Bonnie and Clyde.

Nomination #21: The kissing scene from We're the Millers (2013), directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber:

A very underrated movie and such a funny scene. For context, Jennifer Aniston and Emma Roberts play Will Poulter's pretend mother and sister.
