1930s: What Titles Did You Vote For? (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

Since the winner will come down to either Jesse James or Call of the Wild, I've been giving my support to Swanee River.

I've been voting The Little Princess, but its position hasn't changed for the past month.

Two days left to vote! There is still a race for first place, but suprisingly Little Princess is not in it...

 

[Matt Hough]

Not because I haven't been pressing my finger off voting for it!

 

[David Weicker]

I've always felt this was unfair to us Chicago area voters - only allowing us to vote once!

Something funny just happened with the voting for the top spot. A 4-5% change in just one day after so many votes leaves me with some questions.

First the John Wanye fan club, and now Clark Gable.... How can one take part in the poll other than being a member of this forum?

I'm sorry I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist but that huge swing in less than 24 hours (and on the very last day of voting too when there's nothing really to be done about it) strikes me as very fishy, to say the least. A truckload of people who paid no attention to the voting up until now just decided out of the blue that they can't live without CALL OF THE WILD? Meh

I have been voting for Call of the Wild all along but that does seem weird. I just voted today (which I guess is the final day) and it went from 34% when I voted up to 35%..then I clicked on it again about 15 seconds later and it went back to 34%..hmmmmm.

If you think THAT'S weird, how about this?
The current rankings of 34% for CALL. 29% for JESSE, 21% for PRINCESS; 7% for SWANEE and 6% for STEAMBOAT only add up to 97% of the vote.

I'm disgusted about the impending loss of Jesse James! How did COTW get so many votes so fast?! Jesse James needs a release in an edition with restored Technicolor! It is absolutely ridiculous how COTW is considered superior and more worthy of a BD release than Jesse James. It had better not go to Twilight Time because of this.

 

[Matt Hough]

Yes, I was shocked by the turnaround. Too bad it wasn't The Little Princess that jumped up so far in the rankings.

But Matt, the real question is HOW (after weeks and weeks of the rankings all across the decades staying relatively steady with a few point jumps here and there but always spread out over the course of a few days) did this unnacountable 5% differential happen OVERNIGHT??

I'd like to know myself. I have NO idea.

Maybe they counted the absentee/military votes and it turns out those boys are HUGE Loretta Young fans!

Probably Fox just doesn't want to deal with the more expensive to release Jesse James and massaged the voting totals accordingly?

It certainly makes me less amenable to the concept of participating in future polls, if it is all for nought. - Walter.

Maybe some people enter suggestions for other films and do not vote for any of the films listed.

I am in complete agreement. I am outraged at the unaccountable increase for COTW. There's obviously a greater market for Jesse James since I rarely hear anyone speak of COTW and Jesse James in in Technicolor which would sell more discs and make for a better transfer. Plus, COTW will be released in its cut-down reissue version and Jesse James will continue to wallow in DVD hell with one of the worst so called "Technicolor" transfers ever. If Fox waited and released COTW as part of a Gable box set on BD, they may find the original cut and be able to restore it. BUT NO, people just (as another user put it so well) "couldn't live without Call of the Wild". UGH! :f :jawdrop: :td:

The result is very strange. I cast my votes for Steamboat Round the Bend, but if I had voted for something else, it would have been Jesse James or The Little Princess. Call of the Wild is not a priority.
