We now have a film on the list that originally received only 1 vote, and two that originally received 2 votes. Something feels odd about that, and I'm wondering what was the point of the initial vote? Odd process -- spend weeks collecting votes, only to override it with a two-day debate by a subset of the voters? Oh well, most of the films that were breathed new life are pretty good. The original top 17 was better though. The voters got it right the first time.

While we're at it, somebody please join neverending and myself and back Ringu. Think back to the first time you saw it, and forget the fact that J-horror got played out. It launched the wave of J-horror. Does no one care about the actual history of horror?
Didn't we already get 20 films? Deep Blue Sea was seconded by three people. I would back Ringu, but I have not seen it yet. I actually really enjoy Japanese horror. Unfortunately, I have not seen Audition or Ringu. I thought this whole backing thing was strange as well, but it is not my list thing.
