So I've been thinking about this for a while but I am considering a change in the voting to a straight ranked choice. The change will mostly be on my end when I tally.

Basically, votes after your first will only be applied if your first choice is eliminated. So if you've ever refrained from voting for more than one because you didn't want to add to the total of others, this would help address that.

The only other change on the voting side would be that you would no longer be allowed "unranked" votes. I would just apply rankings to your vote even if you say not ranked.

I was using the current system for a couple of reasons but some of those don't really apply now. If anybody's unfamiliar with ranked choice or whatever else related, I can expand on that but I would like feedback on if the change is something people want.

Bad Genius (2017)

They really made a heist-type of movie about cheating on exams. I enjoyed the cinematography and camera angles, but damn, these teachers are dumb as hell. How can you not catch on to the finger tapping - wouldnt that be distracting to everyone in class taking an exam?

This movie was entertaining, Ill give it that. It just all seemed so unbelievable at times. The movie does amp the intensity up and I often thought: this would be an awesome TV series with all these cliffhanger setups (come to find out there is a TV adaptation, kinda interested in seeing that). I was actually looking forward to them pulling off shenanigans in Boston see how that big brain does scheming in college. Time to get really sweaty! But yeah, having a big brain is tough. Her so-called friends just wanted to use her for their gain. And scrap heap boy is a big fat Takeshi 69 sized-RAT.

7/10.

yeah this was mostly how i felt both times i watched it. i can get pretty nitpicky and i might get hyperfocused on smaller details for other movies because i really can't stop thinking about things like that if i notice them. but this is really one of those movies where it's so fun for me that i don't mind it as much.

Bad Genius

OK, this was definitely a fun movie. I can't believe how well "cheating on exams" works as a basis for a heist-style story. That said, some parts of the story just seemed really unrealistic. (How did the teachers not notice that tapping scheme?) Also, I didn't really like the ending much. I'm not saying there's no way you could end the story with Lynn turning herself in, but it doesn't really fit well with her character up to that point. It's not a huge problem, it just felt off.

7/10

straight ranked choice

clarification on how this works:

tally of all 1st place votes
if one choice has at least 50% of total votes, it wins; if not instant run-off
choices with lowest vote totals eliminated and voters who had eliminated choice as 1st have their votes redistributed to their second choice and so on

i actually went back through all the past votes using this system and only 3 out of the 16 votes would have had a different result. although there were small possibilities for change in some cases with unranked votes.

# of total votes would still probably be used in tiebreak situations though.

Is Bodied the battle rap movie? Just making sure because it's listed as 2017 the first place I looked and that seems like a common enough name that it could be a different movie.

since the couple responses i got were in favor of the change, assume we are using a straight ranked choice (instant-runoff) voting system.

if you have objections to the change, let me know.

also, i will call the vote early if it's decided before the deadline.

the listing on amazon is even PAL format which i believe means you could not play it on standard US dvd players even if you got it

200 ratings on imdb, 96 ratings on letterboxd

you are free to put it up for nominations but i don't think it's likely to win lol
