Red Fish Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thank you for pointing it out so politely. I'm just used to a friend of mine, who has lived in Japan for the last decade, referring to the the 'anime' Feature Film he devised which has been nominated for two awards at the Berlin Film Festival. Cool. Do you remember the name of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi Namahage. Here's a little about it from the L.A. Times. I hope it gains worldwide release. And I see what you mean; manga characters, of course. An American anime film? Michael Arias has done the unheard-of: He's the first non-Japanese director of a major anime film, and his tale of a crumbling city 'Tekkon Kinkreet' has hit a chord.

OLD 55 Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Well our first 'Artists who haven't been nominated before' has had a few hiccups. 5 of us -including me - nominated ones that had ! There's one still to be changed and I've PTd that nice person. Some great nominations and I'm sure we'll finish with a worthy #1. With our Golden Top Ten #50, Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin will be an automatic nomination. I suppose I assume it will be #1, and it'll certainly be high in my Top Ten. Then again, I thought 'Hotel California' was a certain #1. I hope nobody thinks I'm trying to create a 'backlash' against the song from Posts I made in the last Top Ten Thread. All I was suggesting was that we give it some stiff competition by our nominations. I'm nominating one Beatles and one Stones. Multiple nominations of Artists really won't matter. If there's 3 Beatles', Stones' (whoever) songs nominated (that I like !) I'll vote for all of them. Thanks to all who've made it possible for us to reach #50. It's YOUR Top Ten !

Red Fish Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Oh, I know that guy! He was on this Miyazaki film marathon on Turner Classic Movies back sometime last year. That's cool. Studio 4°C makes some good art. Anyway... I guess that's enough off-topic for this Top Ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Laurie_ Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 With our Golden Top Ten #50, Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin will be an automatic nomination. I suppose I assume it will be #1 55, you should never assume... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Jungle Love - Steve Miller Band Didn't anyone notice? 1. The Joker - Steve Miller Band (1973) Just for the record, I like Jungle Love way way better than The Joker . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and I didn't even mean this as a plug!) You Shameless Shawna ! Canvassing for votes for that female Steve Tyler lookalike. Aren't the lyrics are a bit 'iffy" ? I remember the first time I heard my eldest daughter play it. I said "did she say what I think she said ?". (Yes, both times). I told her not to play it while her younger siblings were around, thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Vote my nominations and you will receive a box of brownies... Two boxes if you put them in the first two places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Do you wanna trade, edna ? No Brownies, I'm on a diet. I just may find a place in my Ten for Indiana Wants Me. I think it's been nominated at least once before ? Maybe our friend Dappled can please tell us the re-nominations this time around ? There are a few.

edna Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I´m sure it was me. I must be the only poster who nominates stuff like "Indiana wants me"... And no, I´m not trading... I´m only joking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_s_1987 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I came here thinking we might be voting by now, but I should have known there would be more complications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_s_1987 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 That means I'll have to wait until tomorrow. Does anyone know if we can enlarge text in these boards? Perhaps more people would notice any rule changes (such as the "No previous top ten artists" this week) if we put it in a header at, say, 100pt text? Okay, maybe a little smaller would still do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daslied Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Okay, since I'm a dumbass I will change my Prince nomination. I'll replace it with "Wave Of Mutilation" by The Pixies, which I think I've nominated 18 times now. This is the slower "UK Surf" version, but the other one rocks as well. http://youtube.com/watch?v=AXvgR_HMXaI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
