Results of the 2001 Movie Poll

Thanks to the loyal fans who voted in the movie poll! Looks like one of the consensus top picks was SHREK as everyone picked it in their top ten, although no one picking it as the year's best. MEMENTO was highly regarded also. Waldo and Wally will have their top 10 shortly. FYI, national critics loved Apocalypse Now Redux, Shrek and Mulholland Drive as some of their favorites. Rotten-Tomatoes.com's critics poll lists LORD OF THE RINGS, MONSTER'S INC. and MEMENTO as favorites(at least ones you've heard of).

And the winner of our 2001 Movie Poll is...Julie Sanchez!! Julie gets her choice of a free Hooters dinner, or free Lord of the Rings poster, or free place to stay in L.A. for a weekend, or a free lap dance at Mons Venus in Tampa, or 2 free lap dances at Sundowner in Niagra Falls, Canada. Daww yeah.

Here's the offical ballots by our fans:

Walt,
     Here's my prelim top 10 list,

 1 Memento
 2 Lord of the Rings
 3 Hedwig and the Angry Inch
 4 Beautiful Mind
 5 Blackhawk Down
 6 The Deep End
 7 Final Fantasy
 8 Life as a House
 9 Rush Hour 2
 10 Tomb Raider

 In fact, these are the only movies I saw from 2001, otherwise I wouldn't
 include the last 2 movies.  This may be amended soon because I plan on
 seeing a few more movies and I may switch my top 2 or 3, but this will
 do for now.

MAIL BAG:

yo walt, excellent points as usual.

 akiva goldman deserves a lot of punishment -- not only
 lost in space but that utter pile of shit known as
 batman and robin. I just saw training day this weekend
 and yes he does deserve it. Although crowes
 performance was magnificnet as well. i always thought
 he should have won for the insider and not for
 gladiator. though lord of the rings was grand and
 technically outstanding I thought peter jackson's
 editing choices were utterly piss poor. I hate his
 editing in the fights. Only ther last fight sequence
 was worth a damn.

YEA ME!  I win!  I'll pass on the Hooter's dinner, but keep in mind my free
 stay @ your place!
