One thing I know about my ballot (submitted ages ago because I wasn't going to become less uneasy with it)...it will be better next year. I'm using my Great Directors marathon to take a more sophisticated approach toward the ranking and to catch up with films from directors where presently I'm basing placement on 2-3 films.

Haha, I knew that no matter how many times I proof-read the list, mistakes like that would still happen. Thanks for pointing it out, the list has now been updated.

[Omar]Oh, indeed.[/Omar]

45. Cocteau, Jean (Beauty and the Beast[/i])
48. Alonso, Lisandro (La Libertad)

Love your BatB write-up, BTW.  I'm quite a fan of the ingenuity Cocteau displayed in his films.  Just saw Liverpool, and I dug it.  With that and Los muertos, Alonso is first-tier among contempo filmmakers, methinks.

Would sending in an edited list be too much?  I forgot about Eric Rohmer and Max Ophuls *SMH*

Woo! Am so glad you enjoyed the Alonso films. I am definitely excited to see what he does next. Btw, I also totally agree with your Best Actor nom for Alfredo Castro in Tony Manero. Such a good performance!

Pls feel free to send in an edited list. It's not a problem at all :).

1. Weerasethakul, Apichatpong (Blissfully Yours)

Did you know I got to talk to him one on one for a bit AND I have his autograph? Yah. It's pretty cool.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.
