I know I've had a turn, but since no one's playing anymore, Kelly Reichardt.

Well, if we're allowing seconds, then I'll remove the one I should have done in the first place: Bahman Ghobadi

Seconds seems kinda problematic, but I guess there are not enough active users to get through it otherwise. Maybe require two second-time votes to remove someone ? Mine goes to Jeff Nichols for Midnight Special.

Can you please take Hayao Miyazaki off the list? Indifference weighs heavier than dislike.

Mine goes to Jeff Nichols for Midnight Special.

This game was a mistake.

This is why we only get one selection. We all have to live with the remaining names. The lack of active members is built into the consequences.

I can think of a few in Coppola's filmography. I'm really surprised she's still standing actually, given the reputation Somewhere and The Bling Ring get.

I'll go with Coppola, for these two specifically, but not exclusively.  I'm usually cold to her films, though I did enjoy The Beguiled.     

Can't be sure from the phrasing. Are you saying you're taking Coppola out?

Sorry for the confusing wording.  Yes, I'm taking down Coppola, mainly for Somewhere and The Bling Ring, but I also didn't care for Marie Antoinette or even The Virgin Suicides

Just to reiterate...

I don't think I have weighed in here, so I will second this one if Teproc's vote can't be counted. Anything by Jeff Nichols will be among my most anticipated but I would put MS in my bad category

Edgar Wright probably entertains me more than any other name on the list, but if his movies resemble guilty pleasures in the face of someone like. say, Asghar Farhadi, then I guess I'd vote Wright off.
