Well, folks, this is kind of a big deal. The last regular poll of The Great Movie Tournament just went up. The first poll went up on January 28, 2019, an age ago, in a completely different world.

For comparison, since then and today it's been 1,716 days (or 4 years, 8 months, and 12 days). I want to thank each and every one of you who participated in this monumental event. We still need to do a best of all time round-robin but that will be next year, as an added bonus.

Those stats are amazing and more than a little emotional considering how the world has changed and the ones we've lost along the way.
This was a Great Tournament and it took a great person to pull it off, thank you, Mae! And thanks to everyone that listened to me and talked with me through the days about films. I admire anyone that loves cinema. This has been a blast!!!

Your passion, desire, and dedication to conduct these polls is a gift to our community. Thanks for all you do, have done, and likely will continue to do!
