MARPAs?
So I really liked this idea and it seemed like there was some support for it. If nobody else feels passionate about it, I guess I can try organizing it. The first thing to figure out, though, is should we start from an early year and work forward or from a recent year and work backwards. There are arguments for both. On the one hand, if we start at the beginning, we can follow the flow of film history better and people aren't watching directors' filmographies in reverse order. On the other hand, I don't know how many people will even be able to participate in the early years. I'm sure peoples' recent lineups are well stocked and moving backwards will give them a chance to catch up. Personally, I would prefer to go backwards, but I want to hear what everyone else would like. Also, if you could state the exact year you would like to start if it's not one of the two above.

It'll probably be easier to work backwards, but I will always support starting from the beginning.

Actually, I think it'd be cool to do them concurrently. People have more or less established their 2015 lineups, but they can take the time to refresh themselves on 1927 in the meantime.

Either way, I just want these to happen by any means.

Why would we start with 2015 and not 2016?

Why would we start with 2015 and not 2016? We did do the awards for 2016 on this board. Plus, only a year later, I'm not sure if they would have changed that much. |

So it looks like we're going to be starting with 2015 and working backwards. Details will follow.

Start in 2015, move backwards. I'm assuming we are all generally more familiar with the films from 1971-2015 than 1927-1970 (second half vs. first half since 1927 for example).

For no other reason than people need to get off their asses and see Tower, we need to start with 2016.

I'm all for 2016 or 2015, I don't mind which.

Chronological is best.

I think we might as well do 2016 again too since this time we won't be including those other people. Could see some interesting changes...
Also, how often do we plan on doing these? The further we go back I'd like to have seen everything I should in time. I feel like I'm pretty solid for at least 20 or 30 years, but there are plenty of younger people than me here who may not have seen as much. I think we need to make time to do FYCs and allow time for everyone to see certain things for each year, but it's up to you guys. Looking forward to it!!!

I was thinking of a 1 month voting for nominations period and 2 weeks for voting on the winners, so about 6-7 weeks per year. I understand and that's largely why we're moving backwards, to give people time to beef up their older lineups. |
