To expand on this, out of the eligible 21 Marvel movies (not counting X-Men movies like Deadpool or Into the Spider-Verse), we've got 13. That's more than half, true. But 13 is still just 4% of the total 320 films.Originally Posted by mae
And your fear of all the MCU movies making it didn't come to passWe did get a healthy helping of them, but definitely not all.
Damn, shoulda known better than to take a 4 day detox from the internet over this long weekend! I was fooling myself thinking there'd still be nominations open when I got back
Still, I think we all did a phenomenal job at getting most of the essentials on there.I have very little complaints.
Going to be a great tournament!
There was a few I wish were there... but I think the top ten are that should be. For me? This is the one decade I have NO clue who will win.Damn, shoulda known better than to take a 4 day detox from the internet over this long weekend!

Damn, looks like I missed your nom. I would've seconded it for sure. Not a perfect film, but it completely blew me away the first time I saw it. It was probably one of the films of the decade that I thought about and discussed the most.

Prometheus was a sore spot for me. It made some unfortunate story choices and it squandered its massive potential. Scott should have picked a lane and stuck with it.
I went to Iceland and HAD NO idea the opening was filmed at the greatest water fall there. I remember doing the hike, getting to the end and BOOM I was blown away and for some reason I found it so amazing I was standing on the same spot. I went home and watched it again. I feel the same way you do.

I'm kind of and not really surprised all three John Wicks got in.
Looking for Suntup Brother ARC and Suntup Seed ARC
I had 51 seconded entries from 52 nominations. Not a bad result and I'm happy with that.
I had a better ratio in the 90's tournament though, 57 / 57.
they should have.

Roughly half of the unseconded nominations are mineI had 51 seconded entries from 52 nominations. Not a bad result and I'm happy with that.

I have a feeling that most of the ones that I adore will be out after the first round. Fingers crossed a few can survive, but I'm just not big on a lot of films that others here love.
And Ricky, I can't believe I forgot about Krampus and Frankenweenie! I love both of those.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Out of the 50 or so I nominated, only 2 sis not make it in. I am happy with that.

Plus the 2 you got in with your alt.I had 51 seconded entries from 52 nominations. Not a bad result and I'm happy with that.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

Negative rep issued.
So what you're saying is...you're one of the Engineers?
I bet going to that waterfall was pretty cool.
There's just so many films to get to.

It's someone's alt account since he/she has made all but one of his/her posts in the tournament threads. And it's odd that you were sure the first one to pipe up when I made the claim a few days ago with your "they?" comment. I'm not the only person who's noticed this as I remember it coming up in other movie tournament threads as well.The Admin on this site can see the IP Address of everyone who posts on this forum.

IP addresses can easily be spoofed. And I'm sure it's a coincidence that out of 12 noms made by Red Balloon, you've seconded 8 and that the only ones that Red_Balloon seconded in 2010 were your noms. Plus 6/10 in the 1990s tourney.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
Saying someone has an extra member ID is a serious charge. Even more serious for a staff member (who didn't have advance permission). Although Red_Balloon, and T-Dogz_AK47 might know each other, I see no direct evidence that Red_Balloon is in fact an account used by T-Dogz_AK47.
I agree with the two films of Nichols that went in. As much as I like Mud and Loving, they're just not at the same level of Midnight Special and Take Shelter. I actually wrote out Mud's nomination twice before changing my mind to Nocturnal Animals and While We're YoungIt's just weird because Take Shelter and Midnight Special, two other Nichols films, were nominated. Loving also didn't get nominated but could have. I could make the argument that Mud is his best film.
Ricky, Philomena is one of the films I totally forgot scor like Tge Help. Moneyball was another one I'm glad someone nominatdatv the end. Weird I forgot about that one when I just recently watched it.
Also TO EVERYONE: it's not in the tournament, but watchMaudie. It's a truly wonderful film starring Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke.

Also if people are interested, I thought it would be fun to make a prediction pool for fun, where we predict the top 16/8/4/2/winner of the tournament.
