idk bout y'all but i think it's kinda dope that renoir is the first poll posted on the new digs

and renoir is poll #90 too, we're closing in on #100 (who should probably be bresson?)

we need a nominee for the next poll, zulawski suggested koji wakamatsu, but we never checked if he had the views - i've only seen two. so if anyone has seen 8 or more wakamatsu films, please post here (or if anyone besides brian and zulawski has seen 8+ by yoshishige yoshida, also post here, he was another option who almost had enough views).

i'm not sure we'll have enough wakamatsu views for a poll, and if not, the nomination will move on to lencho - so lencho, if you want to select someone, maybe post a name when you're ready, and that will be our fallback (and if you don't want to nominate, let me know and maybe we'll just start fresh)

I adore Wakamatsu, but I've only seen 5 or 6.

ive only seem 3 or 4 wakamatsus and gave them all 1 star.

i´ve seen 9 Wakamatsu flicks

i'll give it to tomorrow afternoon for either enough yoshida or wakamatsu viewers to reply, or, failing that, for lencho to post a nominee. if neither of those happen, i'll pick a director and start the nominations from a clean slate.
