Directors SURVIVOR GAME - Sight and Sound List (1 Viewer)

[george kaplan]

It looks like Bill's going to rid the list of all the great Hollywood classics, I'm going to rid it of all the pretentious artsy-fartsy nonsense, and we're going to be left with 20 examples of mediocrity. :frowning:

[george kaplan]

I'm just curious Bill - I genuinely think Breaking the Waves is a horrendous piece of film that I truly hate. I'm not eliminating it simply because you or someone else likes it. Do you truly hate films like Rear Window and Casablanca, and really think they are bad movies, or are you just doing it cause I love them?

You're certainly allowed to vote that way, but I'm just curious.

 

[Martin Teller]

In the Director Checklist threads, he gave Casablanca 3 stars and Rear Window 4 stars, so my guess is he's voting out of spite.

Both are in my top 20.

oh no, not the HOLLYWOOD CLASSICS!!!

 

[Bill McA]

I don't hate either Casablanca or Rear Window, although I never really understood the popularity of Casablanca...they're both okay films with Rear Window being a little better.

It's not out of spite, George (and Martin), it's simply strategy.

Neither film is in my top 20 so I wouldn't be upset to see them go.
However, they are in your top 20, George (thanks, Martin!).

If I start dropping some points on them (even before some more deserving films), you will be more concerned about saving them and in doing so, you will temporarily cease deducting from my favorites, because more than any other participant George, you and your 'cinematic' taste are the biggest threat to my top 20.

It's a top 20 list guys...all of us are going to have to vote against films we like or love.

Simple.

 

[george kaplan]

Well, sorry to disappoint you Bill, but after seeing that great films like The Apartment, The Godfather, Jaws, etc. get wiped out, I gave up all hope of the list having more than one or two great films and my only concern now is to get as many terrible films off it. I've already given up Rear Window, Casablanca and the other great films on the list for dead, so I'm not going to waste any effort trying to stop you from eliminating them.

I can't see myself ever having to vote against any films I love. It won't be long til there are far fewer than 20 films I like left on the list.

 

[Bill McA]

And you accuse me of being spiteful!!

If that is how you felt George, you should have simply stopped participating instead of deliberately trying to fuck up the results for others as you just admitted to doing...

[george kaplan]

What? I can only assume Bill that you are misunderstanding what I posted.

I want to get the best list possible. It's clear that a list with great films like The Apartment, Rear Window and The Godfather isn't possible. So, I'm left with a list that has 20 films I hate and despise, or one that has 20 films that range from mild like to mild dislike. And so, I'm voting to try to get that latter.

I am in no way trying to "fuck up" the results for others, except as it so happens that the films I most want to see eliminated happen to be your favorites. But that's the difference between us Bill. I'm voting to get rid of them because I hate them, not because you like them. Hell, there's a couple of films you like that I do also. I'm not going to vote against those just because they're your favorites. But that's EXACTLY what you're doing.

I have NEVER yet cast a vote against a film that I didn't think was one of the worst remaining on the list. You have, by your own admission, just done so.

So if anyone is "fucking up" the list, it's you, not me.

[Bill McA]

I'll repeat for George's benefit...


I love King Kong and Nosferatu...I voted against both films because they are not in my top 20!

I don't love Casablanca or Rear Window, nor do I hate them...they are not in my top 20.

My voting against them is in no way shape or form intentionally "fucking things up" for George or others.

If you hated these films George, I would still vote against them.
Your only influence on my vote is when I chose to vote against them...now rather than later (to keep you preoccupied), the end result is the same.

 

[Martin Teller]

I can see I'm going to have work out a personal ranking system pretty soon so I can strategize. Now we've got people deducting points from Casablanca, Rear Window, Sansho the Bailiff, and Cries & Whispers. Bastards!

The way things are going though, I've got a feeling we're going to end up (as george said, but quite differently than I would have said it) with a "top 20" that represents the mediocre middle-of-the-pack stuff that no one can be bothered to vote for or against.

 

[Bill McA]

When a 'community' democratically votes, that is always the result....

[george kaplan]

Well, not quite.

First of all, your top 20 is always in flux. When one of your top 20 gets eliminated, your old 21 becomes 20, and so it's possible that later in the game Rear Window would have been in your top 20.

Second, if your voting them off is to preoccupy me, as I said, it doesn't. But that's just you using a strategy that didn't turn out to work, not me screwing things up.
