No voting will occur in this round. Instead, MC posters are invited to suggest a replacement for any movie that is considered "on the bubble," so long as they haven't already replaced three movies and the suggested replacement
has more views on Letterboxd. This way MC can trend toward greater participation while still customizing the brackets (which are again based on Filmspotting's) to reflect its own unique taste.
Once you have replaced three movies, you may "block" one replacement attempt by another player, even if it's already "locked in." The movie you defend advances to Round 1. The other player may attempt another replacement. If you don't block anything you get an extra Round 1 vote.
In the end, I alone shall bear the full weight and responsibility of determining which replacements are accepted. As supreme ruler I will always strive to remain fair and impartial, but there are certain ways you can increase/decrease the likelihood your suggestion goes through:
Your film is more likely to be chosen if:
-- Other MC posters chime in with support.
-- You give an impassioned plea.
-- You have seen the movie you are trying to replace.
-- It is part of an underrepresented group: documentaries, non-English language films, cast/crew are minority groups, etc.
Your film is less likely to be chosen if:
-- Other MC posters chime in with dissent.
--
(NEW CONSIDERATION) It is several orders of magnitude more popular than the movie you are trying to replace (American Psycho has no business preying upon Wendy and Lucy).
-- Your main reason for replacing a film is it is too popular or too obscure.
-- You have not seen the movie you are trying to replace.
-- You are trying to replace a film in an underrepresented group (see above) with a film in a group already sufficiently represented (normie films, you know the type). Theoretically, if you tried to replace City of God with Iron Man, I’d tell you to save your energy.
If your film is chosen, I HAVE to vote for it in round 1.
