We had an uptick in participation this week (doubled our numbers from 2 to 4). I’ve also had to make a flash decision on what to do in the case someone doesn’t rank all of the nominees. In this case, I will grant the full 3 points to the first place selection and 2 points each to the unselected one so neither is unfairly treated. The totals were Big Lebowski, 9 points; Ball of Fire, 7 points; Meet John Doe, 9 points. So, in a tie between Lebowski and Doe, the winner will be the one that is Oscar-nominated. Meet John Doe has been added to my queue. I will receive it next week to be watched that subsequent weekend (or watched this weekend if I have time) and reviewed in The Morning After to be posted on November 29.

Here’s the deal: every week, I will be calling for suggestions of films to be added to my Netflix queue. Each person makes one suggestion and one alternate (in case I have seen one of your suggestions). The next week, when I call for new suggestions, we begin a one-week voting period to select the film to be placed immediately into my Netflix queue to be reviewed the weekend after (because I’ll already have my Netflix queue selections for the coming weekend). Then, you’ll find out what I thought in my weekly Morning After feature on Monday morning.

To help decide what to pick, here is a list of what I’ve seen (or at least that I have personally logged).
