There will be room for tie breaking decisions. As far as debate goes, you can post your feelings here and try to sway other peoples votes, but the actual votes once cast will stand.

Don't forget, there will be special surprises that rear their heads during the duration of the project. I'd say more, but that would take away from the excitement of it all!

Bah. Humbug.

Due to certain circumstances, we have room for one more judge. Anyone interested, drop me a pm.

But then again this is a problem that will occur for other people in other decades too..

It's a problem inherent to all lists that are voted upon, whether it be by judges or the general populace. We do the best we can, and for the ones I host I do the best I can to stay impartial and let everyone sort it out for themselves.

That being said, as I stated there will be some special surprises that try to patch up some of the holes. Will they be perfect? Of course not, but I feel that each one of these that I host (and V probably feels the same way) get a little better as we try to fix the flaws in the processes.

Very valid point from Flayed.

Each of the compilations I have initiated has room for improvements and future suggestions. For example, for the Disturbing 100 list, several recommendations by Ferox last year were discussed by me and 3 other original Judges of that project. We all felt Ferox had some really good recs and watched them too, then accomodated them into the 100, at the expense of some of the original choices which we thought were tamer than the rest. The list thus keeps evolving, and the freshness of it is maintained. Right now we are looking at "A Serbian Film" for that 100, and once it gets the nod it will replace one of the original "comparatively much tamer" choices.

*raises hand*

...if nobody has any objections.

And I support NE's call for debate and discussions. A better film seen by few always scores more than an average film which is more popular. Projects such as this deserve top notch quality films, and that's how people come to know about them and hunt them down.

I mean, if we don't put some limelight on those forgotten gems, who will? :)

You watched 'Tumbling Doll of Flesh' - I'm sorry really I am :-)

Nope, not yet. I ll see about DLing it once I get my cable back. Haven't heard from any other Judges regarding it, either.

This connection really, really sucks during rains and cloud cover. Took me over six minutes just to log in and reply back! :mad:

I'm also having having severe computer problems at the moment-limiting my time online or watching movies (I can't stream or download at the moment limiting me watching forgotten gems for the time being sadly). I hope to have this sorted in june/july when this gets more intense.
