SSMB Movie Nights: Every Saturday Evening! | On Hiatus Until Further Notice


...

Recommended Posts

Will the Frozen Hype ever end? It's like Disney wants everyone to catch Frozen Fever! Why couldn't Big Hero 6 be in the lead?! *falls on knees* Curse you Frozen!

Honestly, I don't entirely get the hate behind Frozen. Sure maybe it got way more attention than it deserved, and I get it a lot of us (Including me) have watched it so many times,  but I really don't care what I watch with you guys unless we all have a great time.

why did you even put frozen on there if it's not an actual option?

 

Because he didn't expect so many people were gonna vote for it? From what I can tell, only a minority actually enjoy the film here on SSMB so I don't know how Frozen could've garnered so many votes. Certainly looks like something fishy is going on.

What Gabz said. From the moment ot this writing, the poll has 93 votes. Usually, the polls usually garner only around 30-40 votes. Don't even bother giving me that "there are 100 active users on the board!" bullshit, because I know that's not the case. The most attended movie night on record had twenty people, and there's no way in hell we're having near 100.

Are you going to restart the poll?

In my opinion, Frozen isn't a bad film in the slightest, it's actually very good. However, compared to Wreck It Ralph, it felt like it was very lacking and by the numbers thanks to the second half of the film. That, and I think the ridiculous amount of mainstream hype has probably spoiled the film a bit for me.

But yeah, Frozen versus Wreck It Ralph? Ralph, no contest.

I voted for The Princess and the Frog myself, since I haven't seen it in some time. Just saw Frozen, so no thanks to that.

Poster art by Kaz Oomori, by the way. It's pretty damn awesome.

 

Be an immortal at movie night this Saturday at 5:00 PM EST!

Thank you for voting, we hope you're looking forward to our next theme!

I think you´ve made the right decision. I can´t believe people are cheating like this anyway.

 

I´m glad BH6 is the winnner. I saw it not a long time ago and I loved it! Will be there!

Good job Felix. The high votes that Frozen was getting certainly seemed suspicious, plus I'm glad we didn't have to watch it (I don't hate Frozen but all the attention it's getting is driving me nuts XD). No Wreck it Ralph is okay, because I really like BH6 too! Yesss, bring on Baymax and his epic fist bump!

Yes! I'm so glad Big Hero 6 won and I'm glad the poll was re-done because I have to agree with the others that the high votes Frozen got was suspicious.

 

I can't wait Baymax's fist bump!

I've got to admit that it seems sketchy either way. On one hand Frozen had a lot of votes on both polls consecutively whilst on the other hand Big Hero 6 jumped from 17 votes to 50 within around 3 hours and then the poll was suddenly ended.

Personally I think that the best thing to do would have been to have let it's run it's course, both films were pretty much neck and neck.

Hey I have a better Idea. play both. I really don't know how you can spam the poll since it doesn't let you vote again.

Welp, Big Hero 6 ended up surpassing Home on the Range as the most attended movie night on record so far: a whopping 24 viewers! I really want to thank you all infinitely for coming and keeping movie nights alive for all these months, hosting movie nights is something I look forward to doing every Saturday, and you guys are a great part of the reason why they're so enjoyable!

 

But today's the day, and you know what the means...

 

NEW THEME APPROACHING!

 

Cartoon Movie Adaptations

 

So yes, the new theme: film adaptations of cartoons! Be it animated or live-action, you'll recognize most of the ones on here! Kinda simple really, just vote for what you want!

South Park gets my vote too - never seen it.

South Park is great, I wouldn't be disappointed if it won. As for me, I voted for Mask of the Phantasm. I always need to remember to TUNE IN THIS TIME.

 

Edit: DuckTales with 43 votes? The hell? Who are these people? Ah well, it's a good movie too.

 

Edit 2: This is getting kind of wacky, though. I don't want to believe someone would actually do it, but vote bots ARE a thing.

Yeah...I don´t think we should keep using poll voting, looks like it´s going to be spammed every week

but what about the Ghibli movies D:

Yeeeeaaaahh, I'm not even sure forum members are the ones doing it, either, considering how the polls are off site.

 

 

I vote for PMs, and hey, if Felix doesn't feel up for it, maybe someone else can tally them? I know I have nothing better to do with my PM inbox.

...Uh, yeah. It's definitely vote bots at this point, and if this keeps going on I'm definitely not using polls anymore.

One of my ideas was where I could make a Google Doc with all the choices, and when I link it in the statuses you guys can say which film you want. No way of shitposting occurring, especially in a status update. If that by God somehow doesn't work, then I'll just do PMs.

Okay, so here's what i now have planned in terms of a new voting system to replace polls.

 

As I proposed above, from now on I'm making Google Docs listing all the choices for a specific theme, and there'll be a status update made by me where you can say which film you want. I'll be tallying all the votes, and the winning movie will be announced on Friday. I changed the hyperlink for Cartoon Movie Adaptations to the document I mentioned, but I'll just put it here just in case.

 

Due to SSMB still redirecting people to pop-ups and porn sties, here's also the status where you can say which film you want out of all the choices listed!
