Shrecknet posted:OK I am sorry and I'm adding Fulci. I'll extend the list past 60 and we can start throwing out 4-film directors when we're ready to move on. What do we do if we already submitted our rankings?

STAC Goat posted:Yeah, when I was looking last night I couldn't find that one and a bunch of others, especially the Japanese/Korean films. I think Shreck is right that a number of these votes are gonna end up with a film most people haven't and can't see. This is why I was advocating for a small bracket where it's one film against one other film. That way people can actually watch the films week to week, otherwise the first half of the bracket is just going to be a popularity contest. I found myself having to do that in the preliminary round where there were a handful of filmmakers whose entire body of work I'd never seen.

Burkion posted:This is one of the only ways you can pit people like him against people like Romero, Craven and Carpenter, who worked for decades in the field. Have you heard Carpenter talk about his career? It's generally with the sort of attitude of "Well, doesn't do me any good that my movies are beloved now. If people had bothered seeing the things at the time then maybe I could have actually done half of what I wanted to do." It's not the same situation, obviously, but I know at least two of your examples are directors who didn't get the career they wanted and eventually stopped getting the films they wanted to make funded.

I was just assuming we'd all vote them out in the first round, allowing their loss to buoy a lesser-known but more deserving director to another round.

Love that Tim Burton and Ed Wood are going to get knocked out together in the first round

I just want a horror anthology where 4 directors at the top of their game direct the same script, or maybe 4 writer/directors adapt the same short story.

Yeah, this is a similar pattern to the old thread so it's nothing to be concerned about, but I do think the voting periods on these early rounds should be a bit shorter moving forward. I think this is going to keep happening when the lesser-known filmmakers are up against the titans—there just isn't as much to say as when you're debating two beloved favorites.

 at Burton's win, but I adore Sleepy Hollow as a Hammer film cranked up to 11 so I think the right child died based on the movie matchup.
