The initial backings/negations stay.
Adding a special "Giant Monster" films section at the end for due consideration, since it was demanded by
Sculpt and supported by a few other members.
Remember, we are here to select
TWO films from the remaining ones from the
DEBATABLE section onwards.
The "In The Cut" section is NOT for debate.
Once that is done, we can proceed to select
SIX films from the rest for our
Honorable Mentions.
OR, if everyone is in joint agreement, we can select TWO films from the 4-votes section with enough backings, and get the Honorable Mentions from the rest which see backings behind them.
OR we can go the old-fashioned way and debate till we get our chosen films.
Either way, let's hear it.
