    I usually don't vote all 6 if I'm hoping for one of the underdogs to advance. Although I don't remember if I voted for Empire in this one or not.
    Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.

    The Seventh Continent has one of the most terrifying endings to any film I've ever seen, and it's not even a horror film.

    Will you guys ostracize me if I tell you I'm not a Star Wars fan...

    Also has there ever been a 100% vote for a movie. I can't recall if there ever was.
    Only the gentle are ever really strong.

    I know a lot of people who aren't Star Wars fans. Some people just can't do big action spectacles.

    We've gotten a 100% on some polls in the previous two tournaments but I don't recall offhand which movies.

    AAWIL's nightmare sequence is something else.

    DPS is one of my favorite movies ever; I almost refrained from voting for anything else in this group in order to maximize its chances of getting through (I never really do that).
    It seems I'm miles above the surface of the Earth

    I can see across the whole of London and beyond

    The Seventh Continent is a masterpiece and the best of this group.

    Yes, sadly just not many people have seen it.

    Michael Haneke the GOAT.
