MOST UNNECESSARY RELEASE
I'll bypass this, but I will mention Game of Death is still garbage; unfortunately a necessary inclusion in the Bruce Lee set. I actually wasn't overly disappointed by any of the titles to be honest.
MOST FLAWED RELEASE For Criterion's treatment, not the film itself
Leave Her to Heaven (bonus points for NOT including the commentary, though)

Guys, if Teorema wins worst cover, I'm quitting the forum

I haven't been tracking anything so this very well may make no difference, but if voting closed at 3 that's one less vote for it at least. I feel like everyone forgot about The Lady Eve's caricature-awfulness this year (what could have possibly been more important?)

Re: 2020 Criterion Forum Awards
Is this a pro-Teorema sentiment or just an especially strong anti-Blum stance, swo?

As I've suggested before, I kinda like the Teorema once you see it as the cover to a math textbook

3PM was ambitious. You have til I actually tally to submit, but that could be literally anytime so don’t dally. Also, if someone wants to break the three way tie for member of the year happening right now, that would be cool

Re: 2020 Criterion Forum Awards
I'm well aware. As I recall, I was chastised for letting it happen the last time we had three co-winners! But all three so far have met the metric of three minimum votes but no more than that, so three it will be unless someone cares to break some hearts. The more the merrier so long as it's not me, just throwing it out there!

Also, after twelve years of compiling these, I'm stepping away and retiring from the year end forum awards duty going forward. Fear not, the transition of power will be peaceful. I've entrusted the reins to... wait, Nasir007?!? Oh dammit, hold on...

Re: 2020 Criterion Forum Awards
Congratulations to all members of the trio for members of the year! (And I also want to second Black Hat's mention of Lemmy Caution's China posts too as being extremely interesting reading)
