Ew, why is Elf on there now? Are you trying to add an obvious terrible option for the stuffer?

A Christmas Story LOST?! At least it outlasted Scrooged smdh

It's funny - A Christmas Story became famous through cable repeats, yet I've met a lot of people who claim they hate it and the most common reason is "it's overplayed". The cable gods giveth and the cable gods taketh away.

EDIT: Also, Elf is good.

man people are so weird about this

I claimed that it would be stuffed before it was even added. We're not being weird, we're just all expecting the same thing to happen.

yes that's what I mean by people being weird about this, it's such a weird self-fulfilling prophecy and it's like why do you even vote at all? are you just hoping the thing you like is the thing that gets stuffed? it's not even guaranteed Elf gets stuffed anyway

just close the poll right now

Based on the results, it looks like even the stuffer wants Elf out. Never see this even of a spread with 10 poll options.

and all the results are bogus anyway, so what does it matter if it's Elf instead of whatever else

we don't vote in this thing for its legitimacy and even Nick has given up any pretenses of pretending to care about that

For what it's worth, I actually have no strong feelings about Elf either way. I was hoping to trick the stuffer(s?) into focusing on Elf instead of (other option I do dislike and am pretty sure was their target before this). Doesn't look like it's going to work out that way.

Also kind of surprised that Tokyo Godfathers didn't make the poll. Not because it's one of the most well known Christmas movies, but it's pretty much the iconic anime Christmas film. I know this board is big into anime, so it's surprising, but maybe people here only watch the TV shows rather than the movies.

Expecting a particular outcome and stating it's going to happen doesn't make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. If it happens, I can't deny the possibility of it being one, but just because a few of us said it doesn't make it one.

I am not hoping the thing I like gets stuffed. That would be a hollow victory at best. TBH, I don't really much care what wins these anymore and find my enjoyment of just seeing how the results play out instead.

The main difference is the reasoning behind why something gets vote stuffed. Yes, it is true that unless the person who does it tells us we don't know, but if it feels like it's just to make the worst entrant(my opinion) win it's just somewhat irritating.

Just understand that complaining Elf is going to get stuffed is the easiest way to ensure it gets stuffed

Oh I've had that sitting on my "To Watch" queue for a while, since I loved Paranoia Agent and recall liking Paprika (though it's been a while). All the more incentive to get to watching it, 'tis the season...

If you want an anime Christmas movie then it's gotta be The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

Oh Leon you missed when I was giving my play-by-play on my first watchthrough of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya during the last iteration of SMFAS

...I just couldn't get into it. I went with the "broadcast order" and was confused right out the gate (literally, Asahina episode 1) and the placement of episodes was just so stupid in so many places (eg sticking a random episode in between a two-parter; or having episodes talking about concepts which were explained in episodes that I hadn't seen yet)

But slice-of-life stuff isn't my thing generally so I figured it it'd be a tough watch but I felt compelled as I commit to watching all SMFAS winners & finalists. And I'm literally 2 years behind, the only series I watched this year were Melancholy and From The New World. Looking forward to Monster rewatch in 2021...

So anyways, I didn't like Melancholy at all. But I LOVED Disappearance so much that it made it all worthwhile, it was just so great. And I look forward to watching Melancholy again at some point in the future, in proper chronological order, where I'm sure I'll appreciate it more than my initial viewing.

(I also watched The Disappearance of Nagato-Yuki chan and liked it more than Melancholy so.... yeah... )

That's obviously possible, but if that were the case why would I not complain about entries that I want to win potentially being stuffed?
