Board 8 > Board 8 Ranks Crime Films 2: Disorganized Crime (sign-ups + future planning)

(+) Yeah! (+)

30/30 just gotta burn through these writeups

2 left!

Wasn't expecting another appearance by old Ludwig Van.

Going to push this back 2 weeks until November 14 to hopefully get some more entries.

Currently only have lists from myself and Vis.

I assume Poke, Karo, Sean, Seginus and Lightning are coming soon. Jcgamer, think you'll make it?

If so that'll bring us up to 8 lists total which is pretty solid.

@Xirsca and Suprak, how you two coming along?

I think I can finish this weekend, if not then by next weekend.

I've got 1 more left but I'm not gonna have time to get to it until early next week.

Yes I can make it with the extra time, thanks

Man, The Man Who Wasnt There, Oldboy, and No Country for Old Men is quite the emotionally tough run of films!

Thanks for the extension. Definitely will be utilized.

I'll definitely make it with the extension.

I'm more than happy to take extra time, there are always a few that give me writer's block.

I am 19/30 so I absolutely appreciate the extra time! I have a work trip coming up so I wasn't going to ask for it since I'm not 100% positive that I'll be able to finish it even with the extra time. But since you're doing it anyway I will definitely try!

Glad it works out! Figured it also let's the people who are very close not stress as much over Halloween

Sent my list!

Sent my list!

Received!

Finally watched the last movie! I didn't save the best for last but it was likely the most fucked up. Just need to finalize the rankings and do some last writeups, which hopefully shouldn't take too long.

Curious if this is referring to Oldboy or A Clockwork Orange

It's certainly one of those! Those are probably the two that would best qualify for "most fucked up" in the whole movie sense without thinking about it too much.

Sent mine in!

Great list. I feel good about my bottom five and top ten but the rest was really hard. This was the strongest set of films Ive done for these so far.

If anybody wants to guess, there are three all time favourites on this list for me.

Link to Google doc sent via PM! (I preferred to do that instead of sending an email. Please let me know if that didn't work.)

Overall, this was a pretty damn good list of movies, which is why I wanted to participate. It's not all gold, but there's really not a single bad movie on the list. The ones at the bottom of my list are definitely "worse" but they're still not unwatchable.

Biggest lesson learned from this process would be to do my write ups ASAP instead of waiting a few days because it's too easy to forget details, despite me taking notes as I was watching. Also, my motivation really drops too.

The other thing is just that this is a "one and done" process (unlike Rank the Tracks/Albums), and with doing 30 of these over the course of a few months, it's hard sometimes to maintain perspective. I know my list is generally a good representation for myself, but there's definitely a few I watched early on where I think they might have ended up 3-5 slots differently had I watched them at the end. But ain't nobody got time to watch these twice, so it is what it is!

That's totally fine! I usually have a handful of long writeups and a handful of writeups that are just one liners. Some movies I tend to have a lot more to say about than others

Getting back to the writeups right now after a busy week, if nothing else I'll just crank out some bullshit

I tend to have a harder time writing about the movies I love than the ones I don't care for

I think it's easier to explain why something is bad than why it's good tbh

Agree

I got sidetracked on the weekend, but I should be able to make it with less-wordy writeups if the due date is Thursday at 11:59:59 ET :)

That should be fine lol

At least one of my longest, if not the longest, writeup I wrote is about THE FILM I really disliked lol. And I could have gone longer. Very fun to talk about.

The goal right now is probably to get the topic posted Sunday

alright link sent took me long enough

Recurve received!

Lol sorry

Idk where that recurve came from

And that's mine sent!

With Mythiot and jcgamer in, I'm assuming that's all the lists submitted that are going to be? Going to get the topic posted today, and ideally have the first ranking up. I haven't heard from Xirsca since the check-in in September so I'm assuming they're not still participating? Checking in with Suprak since he said he was most of the way there.

Absolute worst case scenario, I don't think anything other than a pretty shocking list will change last place so I can always factor a new list in afterwards

Poke, if you can't get all the write-ups in just yet, PM me and I'll at let you know the first write-up I'd need

The topic is live!
