The Semifinal and Final matchups will be decided jury-style in a group chat on Sunday, September 6 at 4pm EST / 9pm GMT.  We'll weigh the films in each matchup against each other and then vote.

If you can't make the chat, you can still vote by posting verdicts in the 90s US Bracket: Semifinals and Finals thread.  You can just post a few summary thoughts on the films, link to previous verdicts, etc., and then rank all the films in your order of preference.  If you are only able to post on (and rank) two or three of the films, that's fine.  Your voting preference will count for all matchups where you've posted on both films.

Voting Qualifications: Whether you vote in the September 6 chat or in the Semifinals and Finals thread, the expectation is that you'll either have 1) already written on the films for the bracket; or 2) revisited the films very recently; or 3) both.  It's an honor system, of course.  Use your best judgment.

Any questions or concerns?  I wanted to make sure to wrap this up before the NFL season starts.

I sort of just picked a day/time at random, just to get things moving.  I didn't realize it was a holiday weekend in the US.  Are a lot of people going to be unavailable for the chat as currently scheduled?  Should we look for a better day/time?

Possibly related to my eating disorder.
