I'd like to renominate two Hammer/Amicus guys that didn't make the cut last time, Freddie Francis and Roy Ward Baker. Edit: Throw Terence Fisher in there as well, I didn't even think of him because I thought he'd used a lot of his films already but he's still got plenty left.

The Sixth Sense The Village Signs The Visit Old The Happening Lady In The Water Split I don't know if Unbreakable, Glass or After Earth should be considered because I haven't seen them.

Double posting, because I have a question. So, for re-nominating teams, I would like to bring back Femme Fatale (Claire Denis, Amy Holden Jones, Mary Harron, Antonia Bird, Julia Ducournau, & Agnieszka Smoczyńska) There are three films left on the spreadsheet from this team, so really it's Amy Holden Jones, Antonia Bird and Agnieszka Smoczyńska. (The films are Slumber Party Massacre, Ravenous, and The Lure, respectively.) Since Ducournau has a new film worth talking about, Titane, that bumps it up to 4 films. Teams need six. I have ideas to fill out the last two spots, but I'm curious if I can just do that now, or if I have to wait until December 4th, because technically it will be half an old team, half a new team. What do we think, fam?

Yea it does make sense to do it that way because you have directors who are gonna be very appealing options for a lot of people to add to their teams and you want to have the 1 nomination per 12 hours rule in place for that because otherwise it'll come down to whoever gets to post first and nabs all the good ones. Like for example, Soavi will need to be combined with another director to form a team but he's gonna be a valuable addition to any team based on the films he has left.

Excellent. Thank you for being keen-eyed readers of the rules for me. I think my choices for Femme Fatale Too will be safe, since the team relies on a lot of one-and-done female filmmakers.

Franchescanado posted:Thank you STAC Goat for PMing me that this is back. They have 5 films listed so you'd need to add at least one director/movie. But for now the rest of the team is safe. Franchescanado posted:Double posting, because I have a question. Yeah, as they said the idea here is to give you a chance to reserve your team from last year without anyone breaking it up, but not give you an advantage adding new directors before everyone else can add them to theirs. We have a set start time and the 12 hour clock so everyone can get a chance to play. So Femme Fatale is safe with its three existing films and Titane, since you had Ducournau on the team already. Dec 4th at noon EST you can add more (we expanded the teams so you only need 6 but you can go to 10 if you like). But you'll also have to decide if you want to prioritize them or another team because you'll have to wait 12 hours for the next nomination and omeone lse could come in during that wait, especially if you have highly coveted directors/movies. It seemed the fairest way to do to me and also created a kind of draft fun.

Its December 3rd so REMINDER that nominations being at Noon EST Dec 4th. For now people can continue to renom their teams from last year if able. Come Noon EST Dec 4th (roughly 34 hours from now) anyone can nominate any team. You can reup those teams from last year with new directors/films or nominate new teams from scratch. After you make a nomination you'll have to wait 12 hours before making another one, so you'll have to strategize and prioritize in case someone takes off your board. If your nom is ineligible then you can renom and as long as its the same team you don't have to start a new 12 hour clock. This is all intended to try and make this as fun and fair as possible and give everyone an equal chance to make nomination instead of spamming noms. You all know the time so you don't have to wait for me to say Go so even I don't have an edge. Nominations begin at noon EST on Dec 4th

12 1/2 hours until team nominations are open. NOON EST, Dec 4th You don't have to wait for me to say "go". You can nominate any eligible directors not already on teams. You must use all their horror films. If there's disagreement over if their films are horror or not we work it out in thread. Your team must have at least 6 films, but once you get to 10 you should stop. There's some wiggle room but try not to horde stuff and keep it from other teams and a better chance to be drawn. You can find the nominees here as well as a list of past nominees, their used films, and remaining films. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10sOMfyMvaC198kn3zvSTZNfF9E4PRren3hy9BOjWk4A/edit?usp=sharing After you make a nomination you have to wait 12 hours before your next one. If you have to resolve some problem with a nomination but don't add a new director then your clock doesn't restart. Try not to edit your nomination post. If there's some kind of conflict like two people nominating the same director but the first person having edited their post... lets just not mess with that, right? Just double post if you made a mistake or something so there's no confusion. And most importantly, this is supposed to be fun. Its a competition so we can get lost in it, and I'm as guilty as anyone of sometimes getting too focused on rules. But lets all try and have fun and be friendly and cooperative. The goal is to watch movies together, not win anything real.

From a far away land Debbie nominates… Team Easy, Sleazy, Japanesey 1. Tetsuro Takeuchi - Wild Zero 2. Gen Sekiguchi - Survive Style 5+ 3. Ujicha - Violence Voyager 4. Ujicha - The Burning Buddha Man 5. Shinichiro Ueda - One Cut of the Dead 6. Mika Ninagawa - Helter Skelter And from right here I nominate… The Magical Muppet Wizardry of Jim Henson (and Friends) (Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Joe Dante, Kirk R. Thatcher, Jon Bristol, Karl Holt, Kevin Lewis, and Bill Watterson) Its my very first co-sponsored Letterboxd List/Bracketology team! See I don’t just make goofy themed Bracketology teams once a year, I make goofy themed Letterboxd lists all year. I encouraged we get more creative with team building other auteurs so this is my first go and of course I have a Muppet list. Jim Henson was a wizard and he had an under appreciated creepy sense sometimes but he doesn’t quite have a ton of horror movies or anything. Its Labyrinth now. But hey, a Muppet Haunted House film? Now we have an idea. And Jim had a lot of friends and people who helped him so how about we bring Frank Oz and Joe Dante in on this for some puppet work with plants or gremlins or fish? And to round out the team how about some puppet slashers? Tell me that stuff wasn’t inspired by Muppets and Sesame Street as much as Jason and Chucky. Wizards work in mysterious ways and Jim Henson is gonna work some magic on Bracketology. 1. Labyrinth by Jim Henson 2. Muppets Haunted Mansion by Kirk R. Thatcher 3. Jim Henson's Turkey Hollow by Kirk R. Thatcher 4. Little Shop of Horrors by Frank Oz 5. The Stepford Wives by Frank Oz 6. Gremlins by Joe Dante 7. Piranha by Joe Dante 8. Head by Jon Bristol 9. Benny Loves You by Karl Holt 10. Dave Made a Maze by Bill Watterson

So here's my first team for the Spook-A-Doodle Bracketology Tournament & Movie Club '22. Basically, November was my favorite film from the October Challenge, so I decided to build a team around it.

Witchhammer (1970) by Otakar Vávra 5. Robin Redbreast (1970) by James MacTaggart 6. Celia (1989) by Ann Turner 7. Hagazussa (2017) by Lukas Feigelfeld 8. November (2017) by Rainer Sarnet 9. Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil (2017) by Paul Urkijo 10. The Other Lamb (2019) by Małgorzata Szumowska

I said during Scream Stream I should nominate him, so here's my picks for Danny Boyle Shallow Grave 28 Days Later… Sunshine The Beach Frankenstein Trance I know one or two might be skirting the line; I won't be able to respond until much later today, but if there's thread consensus on taking one off I'll adjust it/add to the team. I also don't know if his early TV movies (in particular 1989's "The Night Watch") count, and that one seems to be only available in the UK so I left it off.

To be clear, and this is some confusion I kind of realized might be happening and blame myself for... you can nominate a solo director at any time with no limit or clock. If they have 6 films you can nominate as many as you like. The clock is only for teams of 2 or more directors.

12 hours has passed... From a magical land Debbie nominates… Family Friendly 2: poo poo Just Got Friendlier 1. Hayao Miyazaki - Princess Mononoke 2. Henry Selick - Coraline 3. Henry Selick - The Nightmare Before Christmas 4. Nick Park - Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit 5. Barry Sonnenfeld - The Addams Family 6. Barry Sonnenfeld - Addams Family Values 7. Sam Fell/Chris Butler - ParaNorman And from my devastated draft board I nominate… Ladies Night XX (Anna Biller, Karyn Kusama, Emerald Fennell, Natalie Erika James, Jill Gevargizian, Natalia Leite, Małgorzata Szumowska, and Natasha Kermani) Last season I had a very simple goal. Find the standout recent films from women, spread them around, and try and add more diversity to the tournament. Ladies Night was the certain success of the bunch making it to the Sweet Sixteen and making me proud. So the plan was to come back strong in their second season with a revamped, bulked up, top notch roster of films reinforced by the best of stuff that’s come out since and the best from my other teams like XX. And then I chose to wait to draft them and the team was decimated by others’ picked. Most importantly was Coralle Fargeat’s Revenge, one of the films that really inspired this team for me and one that simply got placed on the wrong team and left unprotected. And that devastated me. And with the rest of the team getting used up last season or stolen in the draft all that was left from my favorite team last season was Anna Billers. But I bring Karyn Kusama in from XX and fill out the team are some high profile, well received new names in Emerald Fennell and Natalie Erika James as well as some lower profile wild card picks. This team isn’t the powerhouse I hoped it would be and I can only blame myself for that, but in the end I never was interested in building powerhouse super teams and maybe this is truer to what the team started as. A collection of women who stand out in recent horror with their own style and voice and maybe they can make another run. 1. The Love Witch by Anna Biller 2. The Invitation by Karyn Kusama 3. Promising Young Woman by Emerald Fennell 4. Relic by Natalie Erika James 5. The Stylist by Jill Gevargizian 6. M.F.A. by Natalia Leite 7. Lucky by Natasha Kermani 8. Evolution by Lucile Hadžihalilović 9. Woodshock by Kate Mulleavy and Laura Mulleavy 10. Amulet by Romola Garai

It’s as much an anti-thriller or post-modern minimal thriller as it is a thriller, that I just didn’t really feel it fit in as “horror”. It IS scary in ways, and it’s absolutely horrific, but it also doesn’t get a horror label while Kevin does. If others would like to include YWNRH, I’m willing to swap it for Revenge. It’s certainly a movie worth watching and discussing. And it’s got one of the best scores in the past decade.
