This why I usually avoid threads like this, as the final results table is usually quite distorted (IMO), with (in this case) some of the better films ending up much further down the list than they really deserve to be, and lower-quality films lasting longer as they usually go unnoticed. For instance, I could never say that any of the Spiderman films are better than The Dark Knight, but a load of LotR lovers slaughtered it.

+Inception
-Spiderman


lol... yeah that's what happened.

Think I posted before saying the feeling was mutual. Can never remember why I was so keen to see those movies, as I usually got bored fairly quickly.

I was being sarcastic. LotR fans had nothing to do with TDK removal.

I could tell, still didn't really impact on what I said. Last time I came into this thread that was basically what appeared to be happening. Reason number 2 why I try to avoid these thread, I get worked up when one of my favourite films gets eliminated and I start ranting.

You should change the wait time to 1 Hour.

I haven't read every page recently as I wasn't really on during the weekend. So, is the rule of when you can vote still 3hrs or is it longer/shorter... nvm.. I guess I can just hit the OP.

No, do not change it. They are all on the brink of extinction. Doing that would be unfair now.

That's a good point. The playing field is rather equal right now.

Should do it like archbrix does it for the final 5-8 movies imo, because then s. chunk and his gang can't outvote everything in one stroke


I haven't done anything since TDK was out. That was my secondary goal and critical for my primary goal.
