SCFZ poll: John Cassavetes
SCFZ poll: John Cassavetes
Polling the films of director John Cassavetes
The rules:
- your list can include no more than half of the Cassavetes films you've seen, up to a maximum of 5. So if you've seen seven of his films, for example, you can list only a top 3. It's only if you've seen ten or more of his films than you can list the maximum of five.
- i'll assume ballots are ranked unless you tell me otherwise. unranked ballots are fine.
- deadline for ballots: next Tuesday, in seven days, whatever day that is
- if anyone is watching films for these polls, then i'll extend the deadline up to three days, if someone requests an extension
- next poll: whoever posts the first ballot in this thread is free to nominate the director we poll next, unless you've nominated in this round already (everyone should get a chance). Already nominated this round: umbugbene, greennui, evelyn, bure, m arkadin, mrcarmady, nrh, brian d, mesnalty, kanafani, st gloede, ofrene
umbugbene created an index on letterboxd of all of our previous polls here: letterboxd.com/umbugbene/list/index-of-all-scfz-director-polls/
one rule for nominees: at least 3 scfzers need to have seen 10+ of a nominee's films, or at least 4 scfzers need to have seen at least 8 of the nom's films, so if it isn't clear if that will be the case, we'll confirm that's true before moving forward
if 24 hours pass after a poll opens, and no one eligible to nominate has posted a ballot, then i'll nominate someone, and then we'll start over, and everyone will be able to nominate again

Re: SCFZ poll: John Cassavetes
my apologies to ofrene for starting this poll so late! i needed to take a break. if the ballots that come in turn out to be short overall, i'll consider using the extended rules, but for now i'll go with the standard rules.

Re: SCFZ poll: John Cassavetes
I've seen 2. Killing of a Chinese Bookie and Gloria. I didn't feel much passion for either of them. My wife is in love with his films, but I just can't seem to extract much of value from them. Don't dislike them, just kind of feel like I could probably spend my time better the whole time they're on.
I feel like there's more to mine with Killing of a Chinese Bookie though. So I vote for that one.

Re: SCFZ poll: John Cassavetes
since i often just skim through these threads when tallying, for anyone posting a ballot, it helps me out a lot if you can make it look like a ballot - otherwise there's a chance i'll miss your vote, if it's embedded in a paragraph of text. thanks!Monsignor Arkadin wrote: ↑Sun Oct 11, 2020 5:55 pm I've seen 2.
