[flip]

last chance to post or edit a ballot -- i'm going to start tallying this tomorrow unless someone requests more time (which would be fine, just let me know!).

[thoxans]

finalizing my ballot now. will be done later today

[flip]

i've copied all the ballots posted so far into another document, so if you edit your ballot, i won't notice. i can't promise (depends how complicated it would be) but i can probably accommodate edits if you want to make any - but you'd need to make a new post which spells out in detail all of the changes you want to make.

i'll definitely wait for thoxans' ballot, and i can accept new ballots up until i post the results (which will probably be in a few days).

brian - you have a duplicate film in your ballot. i'll count the higher ranked whirlpool, but you can add a new film to your ballot if you like. because i've already added your ballot to my running tally, the easiest thing would be if you'd add a new film to your second tier (maybe one non-silent film!), so nothing moves up or down. or you could just leave it as a 54-film ballot.

[Roscoe]

Dammit -- I missed out on SHERMAN'S MARCH. Hell.

[flip]

i haven't factored in your ballot yet, roscoe, so if you wanted to edit it, i can wait - just let me know if you do, so i can overwrite the ballot i already copied into my tallying document. if i haven't heard anything within 24 hours, i'll go ahead with your older ballot.

[brian d]

oops! go with hintertreppe (leopold jessner/paul leni, 1921) in that second tier. i seem to have left it out and it should be fairly high up there anyway.

[Roscoe]

Thanks flip -- I'll let it stand as is.

[flip]

Probably have to change some stuff around later since I'm sure there's a bunch I missed and the order is pretty random, not sure about going ranked or unranked for points, don't want to short a movie's chances to make the final list after all.

unless you tell me otherwise (today probably), i'm going to assume your list is ranked, because it's in tiers and you put numbers next to everything. leaving it ranked will help some films make the final list, but also hurt a few, so it's a roughly even tradeoff from that perspective.

[...]

ranked is fine. if it helps or hurts some, so be it. I'm not worrying about it since there's so much whim involved already.
