I don't think John Wayne or his films are "crappy", but I do agree that last year's vote felt extremely staged.Didier R said:Last year's voting was staged in the favor of crappy Wayne's titles, so no thx.
I strongly suspect the outcome was such that movies which Fox had already planned for release (and in some cases had already released in other regions), not-too-suprisingly came out out as "winners" in the poll. Conspiracy theories aside, the entire voting system was fundamentally flawed, in that it allowed an individual to vote multiple times, and with the poll running for so long, basically skewed the results towards the titles which a few obsessive fans preferred. In other words, if you didn't vote every single day over a two month long period, and didn't vote across multiple devices, to maintain your share of the votes, you lost out to those people who did. Which is why we saw some very strange and dramatic changes in voting percentages as the poll proceeded, particularly in the last few days.
I'm sorry to be a party pooper, but if a poll is going to be run in the same way this year, count me out.
