Question: on the 1970s list page, of the 6 you have underlined, what you're calling the "six front runners", The Brood and Legend of Hell House have a (-1); does that mean that are no longer in contention? If so, then there's really 4 underlined contenders; and "Magic" has a majority (3). Looks like we might be spent on 1970s. I'm pleased with the 22 and 6 Honorable Mentions with the most backings.

It simply means they are still in the fray, but have scored a negative vote each (by Straker). They will need more support to break away from the rest. Effectively, Magic and The Brood are tied together with equal support at the moment.

Again, I must ask you to refrain yourself from jumping the gun. We are still in search for that final film for the Honorable Mentions.

I'll back Frankenstein: The True Story

Respectfully, I was not jumping the gun, V. I was asking you a question, and subquestion/conclusion. I was confused; I thought if someone negged a film, it meant it was out of the competition completely; that we all had a "veto" power, as opposed to that it was simply a minus one in the backing count. Now I know better. thanks!

Villain's latest backing means 3 films are now in joint contention for that final spot for Honorable Mentions - Frankenstein: The True Story, Magic & The Brood.
