Re: SCFZ 10th Anniversary Poll: Ballots
i have tallied all the ballots posted so far. if anyone wants to edit their ballot, i suppose that's possible, but you'd need to make a new post explaining the edits you want (don't change the original ballot). i know there are some scfz regulars who have not posted a ballot -- there is still time! ...

Re: Cannes 2021 Betting Thread
big names again tomorrow: in competition, films by jia zhangke and jacques audiard, out of competition premieres by leos carax and guy maddin
and so far, really no standout films on the jury grid

Re: Cannes 2021 Betting Thread
the first 5-star film of the festival, per the guardian, is Lou Ye's An Unfinished Film. i haven't been interested in watching a Lou Ye film since seeing Suzhou River quite a while ago, but maybe i'll watch this one

Re: Cannes 2021 Betting Thread
as i do every year, i'll post each film as it screens, along with the rating (out of 5) it gets from the guardian. i take ratings from the guardian not because i like their film criticism (i have no opinion of it, i don't read it), but because i know they rate everything, and i figure they might be ...

Re: SCFZ 10th Anniversary Poll: Ballots
i think i'll get started tabulating this some time today or tomorrow, which means i won't be accepting any edits to already-posted ballots, unless they're made in the next 5-6 hours. but i'll still be able to factor in new ballots, so if anyone hasn't voted yet, there's still time! would be great to...

there is still time! actually the first competition film won't screen until tomorrow (wednesday), and it will end at 17h43 france time, roughly noon eastern time, so that will be the deadline to submit a slate of predictions. would be more fun to have two or three more participants, it only takes a ...

Re: DtC voting and watching
Hermann Kösterlitz's Katharina, die Letzte was my favorite discovery this year. :D oh cool, i love that movie! it only got three votes, but they were 6, 6, and 5, so maybe it has a chance in the future. hermann kosterlitz later became henry koster, director of several deanna durbin films, but he ha...

Re: DtC voting and watching
so far one of my nominees got in, arrival (mani kaul), and another, play (gholam reza ramezani), had an average rating over the threshold but not enough votes overall. so already a more successful year for my noms than i've had in a few years i think!
thanks for all your work, angel

Re: Cannes 2021 Betting Thread
this could be a close contest, given that we all almost agree on what is like to win! hopefully some contrarian ballots also come in
one note, entirely my fault -- the title of the rasoulof film is the seed of the sacred fig (i got it wrong when i first posted the list of nominees)

Re: DtC voting and watching
Highest average rating: lovericekim-4,95 this is the one issue i have with the tabulation (getting voters to rate each individual film is the best system, overall, but it's still not perfect). when one voter gives an average rating of almost 5, really what you're partly measuring when averaging the...

Cannes 2024 starts next week (May 14), so time for our annual Cannes betting contest! The in-competition lineup is intriguing -- it includes the long-awaited Megalopolis (Coppola), a new film by Jacques Audiard who I had forgotten existed (but who has won both the Grand Prix and the Palme d'Or in th...
