The poll results are in – thank you to the 78 voters (a new high again!) who have made The Third Man the next MOTM (we’re gonna have a string of movies that start with “The Thi-” going here, if we’re lucky). Here’s what needs to go down from here:
* The first thing you need to know is that July 16th is the big day.
* You have four weeks to watch the flick if you haven’t already, and to write up something, then send me the link (dylan@manilovefilms.com) to either what you write or something previously written. If you’re planning on doing the former, please hold the post in draft until the 16th (you can send a link prior if you have the capability to do so).
* On July 9th, we’ll be recording our MOTM-themed episode of the LAMBcast, where we’ll dissect and discuss The Third Man. If you’d like to get in on it, there are still a couple spots open – just head over to the LAMB Forums to claim one.
* On the 16th, the LAMBcast will be posted, as well as all of the links to anything written. In addition, I’ll include a poll to decide what the next MOTM flick will be. If you have suggestions, leave them in the comments here (though I imagine I’ll include most of the films from this last poll that received a good percentage of the votes). That poll will run for a week, and then there’ll be three weeks until the next event, and so on.
Here are the final results of the poll:
* The Third Man, Clerks, Wild at Heart, and Five Easy Pieces will be removed from the next poll, leaving four spots for new suggestions.
Suggestion for the next poll:
Moon
Aw Shoot… I thought it was one more day of voting.
new suggestions, how fun. brown bunny? i should prob check the archives before making a suggestion. alas my laziness wins out.
My ploy to get people to watch old movies has succeeded!
Also, I’m not sure The Brown Bunny would be the best pick for a movie of the month, from what I’ve heard about the film.
All I can say is it’s about damn time. I have voted for this one in practically every single one of these so I’m pleased that it’s getting the nod.
