Match Cut Director Consensus - YEAR 5

[Ezee E]

The Rules of the Game:

How to post selections:

- Assign a rating to each film based on a scale of 1-10
- Half points may be used
- It is not necessary to rank the films. Instead, please post all lists in chronological order, starting with the earliest film.
- A film must be thirty (30) minutes in length to be counted.

For a film to be eligible for the director's overall rating, it must have at least four (4) votes. Otherwise, there isn't a sufficient amount of votes to make the rating as objective or effective as a film that has received twenty (20) votes. If a film is mentioned only once or twice, I will still post that film's average (quite easy if only mentioned once) but I wil separate it from the films that factor into the director's overall rating.

Will my contribution still be needed this year?

[Ezee E]

Will my contribution still be needed this year?
It would be most appreciated!

[StanleyK]

Great! Which weeks are mine? Still the multiples of 3?

[Ezee E]

I'll have to see if Dreamdead is still up for it.

[dreamdead]

I'll have to see if Dreamdead is still up for it.

Yeah, I'm fine continuing the calculations for this year. The three of us rotate as before?

[Ezee E]

Yeah, I'm fine continuing the calculations for this year. The three of us rotate as before?
Sweet. Sounds good.

[right_for_the_moment]

Is there a place where all of these are stored, years 1 to 5? I often find myself looking but usually to no avail.

[soitgoes...]

John Ford?

[Mysterious Dude]

Any chance we could delay Josef Von Sternberg a couple months? Three of his silent films are being released on DVD on August 24th, four days after his consensus thread will end.

[B-side]

I like this idea.

[Ezee E]

Per Issac's request, I've swapped Sternberg with Raimi.

[Spinal]

Per Issac's request, I've swapped Sternberg with Raimi.

Oh good. Someone for whom I've seen more than one film.

[B-side]

Is it just me, or are we way behind on these?

[MadMan]

Is it just me, or are we way behind on these?Heh, I noticed it, too. Plenty more time for me to actually watch a movie from some of the others.

[StanleyK]

Collective amnesia, I guess. I just caught up with mine, sort of.

[dreamdead]

Collective amnesia, I guess. I just caught up with mine, sort of.

Yeah, if it's not been obvious the past few weeks, I need to bow out of compiling these for awhile. Trying to get a dissertation prospectus done before the semester's end, so free time has been small.

[Spinal]

Are we still doing this or does it need to be unstickied?

[Ezee E]

Are we still doing this or does it need to be unstickied?
Might as well unsticky it unless someone else wants to do it.

[Spinal]

Brightside, if you want to take over, go ahead.

[Spinal]

If this gets going again, we can re-stick. But for now ...

[B-side]

Jacques Tourneur isn't next, is he? I could swear we made it further than that.

[StanleyK]

I want to apologize to y'all about this. I don't even have a good excuse, like lack of time; I just forgot. But if B-Side can keep it up, I promise I will too.

[B-side]

Yeah, I don't have a problem doing this. If dreamdead wants to start back up when he's not so busy, he's free to do so, but I've got time to spare.
