Another thing I've noticed about old school Resi fans is they're very territorial? gatekeepery? like when I was following one they had a post that all fans joining from Village should take a test before joining any conversation with them one of the things that made me unfollow them (with the fun side effect of now I can't discuss the games I've watched played) the other was criticising Mia to hell and back but not mentioning Lucas who joined the connections in 2015 and was made head researcher and no mention of motherfucking ALAN DRONEY who in game has the title of director but no Mia is a gaslight (go into the end of zoe tag and that's the first thing i saw someone saying Mia gaslit Ethan for three years and that she was solely to blame for causing the outbreak and that she did nothing to help the Bakers i don't need to say why its bogus right?)

Mia haters are inherently fucking stupid.

But anyways, yeah. Most people in fandoms that are older are like this, unfortunately. Star wars fans insisting you're not a real fan if you like the sequels/joined after the sequels, Marvel fans insisting you're not a real fan if you joined after phase 3, assassin's creed fans insisting you're not a real fan if you enjoy Valhalla or Odyssey, all these instances where some of the best content in a franchise is considered inferior or not real content by the fans who joined when the franchise was full of misogyny, racism, homophobia, etc. I do promise you though, they are the very obnoxious minority. Unfortunately, while most of the fans do enjoy the newer better content, a lot of them don't ever go online, or if they do they're not very active/vocal about their opinions, because of the dipshits who ruin everything by running their mouth. People who gatekeep in fandoms - in general, but especially if it's based on content you've consumed/enjoy - are very common, but very misguided.

1161.

Number of Movies/Documentaries I Watched in 2023: 226 Genre I Watched the Most in 2023: I... don't know. horror, probably. Mike showed me what I was doin wrong with using Lboxd so when I take this for 2024 I should hopefully have stuff like genre stats

1. Best Movies I Watched In 2023? >> from each month, one new-to-me favourite and one old favourite that I rewatched: 1. Hagazussa / Velvet Goldmine 2. Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul. / Twelve Monkeys 3. Nanny / The Fly 4. Sugar & Spice / Dead Ringers 5. Rigor Mortis / Birds of Prey 6. Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse / Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story 7. You Won't Be Alone / Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey 8. Swiss Army Man / His House 9. In the Earth / The Woman 10. Perfect Blue / Silence 11. Akira / The House That Jack Built 12. Angel Heart (didn't rewatch a fave in December)

2. Movie I Was Excited About & Thought I Was Going To Love More But Didn’t? >> I wasn't exactly excited about Beau is Afraid but I definitely thought I would enjoy it more than I did. the first 20-30 minutes or so were pretty fun and weird but then it just... *longsuffering sigh* I had also hoped The Blackening would be a bit funnier than it turned out to be. still watchable and I'd still like more Black horror-comedies, but I definitely wanted more guffaws out of it. I'm not even gonna bother talkin about Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania... (at least Kang was good) OH! Renfield! THAT'S the one I was excited for and heavily disappointed by. I knew there was one (also, Last Voyage of the Demeter. not at all my favourite year for Dracula movies, that's for sure)

3. Most Surprising (in a good way) Movie I Watched in 2023? >> I was surprised by both Akira and Perfect Blue because I just assumed they would be a bit inscrutable to me (when a lot of "buffs" speak highly about a work I assume it's some shit I won't understand), but they really drew me in. also surprised by Host (2020) which I'd assumed would be watchable but not really anything to write home about considering the gimmick. but they pulled that one off pretty well!

4. Movie I “Pushed” The Most People To Watch (And They Did) In 2023? .

5. Best Sequel of 2023? Best Ending of a Movie I Watched in 2023? >> Across the Spider-Verse and as for ending I'm just gonna agree with prev "can't beat a dancing naked man" (Saltburn) because that was pretty good

6. Most Action Packed/Thrilling Movies of the Year? >> the John Wick quadrilogy

7. Movie I Watched in 2023 That I Am Most Likely To Re-Watch in 2024? >> In the Earth, The Lodge, maybe Noroi? I might rewatch I Saw the Devil because for some reason I forgot a lot of that one despite enjoying it

8. Favorite Poster for a Movie I Watched in 2023? .

9. Most Memorable Characters/Talent of 2023? >> oof... can I just say Ben Wheatley (director) for talent because he really sucker-punched me with the two movies of his that I watched this year

10. Standout Writing / Directing of a Movie I Watched in 2023? >> obviously that goes to whoever wrote Call Girl Of Cthulhu

11. Most Thought-Provoking/Impactful Movies I Watched in 2023? >> The Vast of Night, Silence, Titane, Perfect Blue, Akira, Aniara. also 2001: A Space Odyssey except the thought it provoked was "why am I still fucking watching this" and the impact it had was "I'm annoyed to the point of anger and I have a splitting headache"

12. Movie I Can’t Believe I Waited Until 2023 To Finally Watch? >> Die Hard lmao. it was way more entertaining than I expected. also how did I go my whole life without ever learning that Alan Rickman was the bad guy in that also Battle Royale and ofc Akira

13. Favorite Scene From a Movie I Watched in 2023? >> oh man this is impossible, give me a break

14. Movie That Shocked Me The Most? (Because of a plot twist, character death, etc.) >> I didn't expect Swiss Army Man to be quite what it was (this is not a complaint, I loved it, but the whole farting business definitely threw me for a loop lol) honestly my bar for shock is seeing Oldboy for the first time last year having never had it spoiled for me and losing my whole ass MIND at the plot twist. nothing has come close to that since

15. OTP (One True Pairing) – You will go down with this ship? >> those two girls from Do Revenge

16. Favorite Non-Romantic Relationship? >> the vampire family in Near Dark

17. Best Movie I Watched In 2023 That I Watched Based SOLELY On A Recommendation From Somebody? >> Noroi: The Curse but also The Adjustment Bureau was an incredibly solid and cute flick (both Sparrow's recs)

18. Most Exciting Worldbuilding/Most Vivid Setting? >> ooo let's see... well, I did rewatch The Neverending Story this year :p Rigor Mortis had a really memorable setting for me but I wouldn't call it exciting OR vivid. like, it was just an apartment building lol. it was just... I don't know. I can't explain it. it sticks in ya El Hoyo (The Platform), maybe? definitely an intriguing setup and setting there. A Field in England was literally just a goddamn field in England but man.... I also like the new worldbuilding ideas Hellraiser (2022) brings to the table.

19. Movies That Put A Smile On My Face/Were The Most Fun To Watch? >> Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Ref, Cocaine Bear, Sugar & Spice, Airheads, Polite Society, Totally Killer, Do Revenge, D&D: Honor Among Thieves, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, Earth Girls are Easy, both Sister Acts, Call Girl of Cthulhu, Idle Hands, Van Helsing, and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. yeah there were a lot of these this year

20. Movie/Documentary That Made Me Cry Or Nearly Cry in 2023? >> Swiss Army Man and Akira, but also Velvet Goldmine, Do the Right Thing, Crooklyn, and Sister Act 2.

21. Hidden Gem Of The Year? >> not sure how to determine this

22. Movie That Crushed My Soul? >> [insert another snarky comment about 2001]

23. Most Unique Movie I Watched In 2023? >> so many of the movies I've seen this year were incredibly unique to me! let me see if I can find one I haven't already mentioned... ah yes, of course. how could I forget Mad God 💀

24. Movie That Made You The Most Mad (doesn’t necessarily mean you didn’t like it)? >> I will refrain from mentioning That Movie again (although that is the true answer lol) and instead I'll go with... Lake Mungo bc I thought that was gonna be way more interesting than it was just based upon the fact that the tumblr girlies used to be all over that shit back in the day

25. Notable Mentions of the Year? >> some more movies I really liked that didn't get a chance to get mentioned yet: The Banshees of Inisherin, Baskın, On the Count of Three, Hell House LLC, Ringu, and Mad Max 2.

Bonus: Favorite Movie Moment?

Bonus: Five Movies I Am Anticipating in 2024? >> Furiosa, the Joker sequel, apparently there's a new Alien flick coming out? Dune Part 1 was Fine, I guess, so I might as well see Part 2 🤷🏿‍♂️ meh

[valiantvillain]

In re: staying away for Classics-y stuff here - I am in much the same boat (though officially, obviously, my graduate work was in CONJURATION). Still, I just have to ask: what headcanons in particular have you seen circulating? I just have to know...

Like that Persephone was "canonically" the most beautiful of the gods when like literally there is nothing to support that claim. Like I remember seeing a tumblr convo about it that went on for a bit and at first it started out well enough, just jokey jokes about not wanting to be in the Paris position of deciding who was the most beautiful goddess. Then it devolved to people making very bogus unsupported claims. Like sure, have your jokey debates but don't try making definitive claims like that without actual quoted textual evidence from sources like the Odyssey or the Homeric Hymns. Rule of thumb is that if you can't find evidence to support your claim, then don't make the claim. Keep it to yourself until you do. Personally, I would say keep it to yourself and or make very, very clear that it is merely your headcanon if you do share it until you have 2-3 actual pieces of evidence be it quotes or scholarly analysis (and not taken out of context because I have seen this too).

That's just off the top of my head but there have been many more over the years. I also recall seeing people spreading around the idea that there were temples to Medusa and that they were like women's shelters. This was not a thing. My emphasis is not in archaeology but as far as I know we don't have temples to Medusa. She may have appeared in artwork in temples, but she does not have one (again, as far as we know). There also were no women's shelters in ancient Greece. The most shelter a woman could get from an abusive husband was likely her own family or maybe seeking sanctuary in any temple because one was not allowed to commit violence or spill any human bodily fluids (including blood) within a temple. Would it have been great and made us feel less icky about the past if they had existed? Maybe. But wanting something to have been a thing does not make it so, and rewriting history does not change it.

Them Flying Monkeys e Van Bloom aqueceram a friorenta noite vimaranense | Reportagem Fotográfica

João Amaral (guitarra e voz) dos Van Bloom | fotos © Gonçalo Fontes A intensa agenda cultural dos últimos meses, maioritariamente musical, que tem vindo a acontecer no Centro para os Assuntos da Arte e Arquitectura (CAAA) em Guimarães tem recebido muitos projetos emergentes do panorama musical nacional com ênfase em bandas mais ligadas aos universos indie/alternativo. Nesta última sexta-feira, 9 de março, foi a vez de duplo concerto, com os Them Flying Monkeys e os Van Bloom.

Oriundos de Sintra os Them Flying Monkeys são uma formação existente já há bastantes anos, têm tido uma evolução consistente e muito positiva no seu percurso como banda de rock alternativo. São 5 amigos de longa data os que formam este projeto: Diogo Sá (guitarrista), Francisco Dias Pereira (teclista), Hugo Luzio (baterista), João Tomázio (baixista) e Luís Judícibus (guitarrista e vocalista).

Them Flying Monkeys no CAAA | fotos © Gonçalo Fontes O seu percurso tem o seu ponto de arranque com a edição, de forma independente do primeiro registo discográfico, um EP homónimo, em 2015. Já em 2017 surgiu ‘Golden Cap’ o primeiro LP em 2017 editado pela Sony Music numa evolução sonora para psicadelismo pop-rock. Nos anos seguintes tocaram em festivais como o NOS Alive, o Bilbao BBK Live (Espanha) ou o Vodafone Mexefest.

Em ano de pandemia Covid, o trágico ano de 2020, editam ‘Under The Weather’ com excelentes temas como “Come Upstairs”, “Bogus Odyssey” ou “Unlikely Evidence Of Chance”. Como é óbvio as circunstâncias travaram a apresentação ao vivo deste álbum, eles que até estiveram escalados para fazer a primeira parte de um concerto dos Temples no Lisboa ao Vivo. No decurso da pandemia lançaram ‘The Silence Between Songs’, um filme-concerto cuja gravação aconteceu em fevereiro de 2021 com o apoio da produtora Carpete e o Teatro Mosca. O concerto teve transmissão em formato live streaming.

Luís Judícibus (guitarrista e vocalista) em destaque | fotos © Gonçalo Fontes Alguns planos ruíram, é certo, só que no ano passaram “reiniciaram o contador” com o lançamento de dois singles avulso do qual se destaca “Next Emma Stone”. Este tema “explora outros ambientes e texturas sonoras” do que até então tocavam. No decurso deste 2024 os Them Flying Monkeys vão editar novo trabalho discográfico onde certamente os singles que têm lançado serão incluídos, além de “Next Emma Stone” foram também dados a conhecer “Great Song” e “Pretty Sticks”.

João Amaral (guitarra e voz), Vasco Soares (bateria) e Débora Torres (baixo e voz) são o trio Van Bloom com origem em Fafe no ano de 2021.

Van Bloom no CAAA | fotos © Gonçalo Fontes O rock e o punk parecem ser os trilhos sonoros preferidos e que pretendem percorrer, projeto que ainda numa fase bastante embrionária. Para já o tema “Puppet” é o único single lançado oficialmente. Em 2023 tocaram em eventos relevantes realizados no Minho como foram os casos do FEN Festival em Fafe e do Sonus Art Fest em Guimarães.

Está marcado para o próximo mês de abril o lançamento de ‘Musing’ o EP de estreia destes Van Bloom. Por essa altura será a altura ideal para medir a expetativa do que este projeto poderá ser pois até ao momento esta é a informação possível.

Agradecimento final ao Gonçalo Fontes pela disponibilização das fotos para utilização pelo headLiner.

The boys are back! Picking up where the sensational Adventures of the Super Sons left off, the sons of Batman and Superman are back in the spotlight and ready to give evil a good spanking. But are Robin and Superboy in over their heads this time? A mysterious woman from beyond time has appeared to the DCU's favorite sons, and her arrival heralds certain doom (that's a hint, everyone) of things to come! In fact...it seems she's sent the boys on a bogus journey that they've already...returned from? Huh? What did the boys learn when they were whisked away? Why on earth do they have to save the Flash from instant death? Tune in for the first chapter in the most epic odyssey Robin and Superboy have ever been on!

Gregory Nava’s 1995 film My Family is a close and intimate narrative surrounding a Mexican family in Los Angeles California.  The events in the story are transgenerational and address sociopolitical and cutural points of contention for Latinos in America.  In the first portion of the film, which takes place in Los Angeles in the U.S. Great Depression era, a married couple is separated when the wife Maria is deported in an illegitimate round-up.  Many Mexican U.S. Nationals were wrongly deported in the 1930s to open up economic opportunities and resources for white people.  The film then shows Maria’s odyssey when she crosses back to the U.S. and almost looses her son Chucho in he river.  My Family shifts into Chucho as a young adult.  Chucho accidentally kill someone is an altercation and is shot and killed by the Los Angeles Police after being on the run for the night.  This happens right in front of Chucho’s youngest brother Jimmy who then becomes the focal point of the next portion of the film.  Jimmy’s sister convinces him to mary Isalbel a woman from El Salvador to protect her from deportation.  Legal status plagues the Latino community still today and directs everyday decisions in ways that it does not for others.  Isabel dies after giving birth to their son Carlitos and Jimmy becomes hysterical and furious with the doctor.  He was sent to prison for robbing a store shortly after.  By the end of the film, Jimmy is united with his son, but the viewer is confronted with the cyclical and systematic issues that have tormented the family of My Family each generation such as immigration and racism in other forms.  The police exercising excessive force on Chucho is a clear example, but also the doctor who demonstrated little care in the death of Isabel and consoling Jimmy is an instance of racism.  Historically medical institutions have been known to neglect marginalized people, often times quite deliberately.  It can certainly be argued that these trials of the family would have been avoided had it been for more just and ethical immigration policies.  Had it not been for bogus “repatriaton acts” Maria would have not have need to cross the river and almost lose her son Chucho.  Chucho would have not been on “borrowed time” and died so young.  This would have prevented Jimmy from becoming so angry and violent.  If it were not for U.S. intervention and support of military coups in El Salvador, Isabel would not have needed to escape deportation in the U.S..

This is not the latest we've ever started the final round, but here we go!

For those who participated in the preliminary, I thank you for your time, but we're not done quite yet. The madness has only begun. After a chaotic end to the preliminary round in which contenders crashed out and unheralded underdogs rose in the final hours, who knows who takes this final? For the uninitiated, I have an Oscar-like ceremony on my blog celebrating all the movies of that year’s Movie Odyssey (all the movies I saw for the first time in their entirety) at the year’s end. For the last five years, I have asked family and friends to help out with the Best Original Song category - because in all other categories, you'd be forced to watch entire movies to decide it. This is a musical thank-you to those, who have contributed, in their own ways, to support the Movie Odyssey and me over the last calendar year.

I normally would have known if I would have asked folks to help participate in MOABOS around the end of summer. But due to work commitments, I had no idea whether or not we would be doing this as late as mid-October. I consider it very fortunate we were able to get this off the ground this year - some of you, interestingly enough, look forward to this every year for some strange reason.

As a result of this year's limitations, this is the one of the most monolingual fields we've ever had in a final. But that's not to besmirch the quality of music seen here. In one notable piece of MOABOS trivia, a Vietnamese-language song has reached the final for the first time. A record two songs in the final are from a documentary film (albeit they are from the same documentary).

INSTRUCTIONS Please rank (#1-15) your choices in order. The top ten songs will receive nominations. The tabulation method used in the preliminary round is being used for the final only as the second tiebreaker (the tabulation method that will be used principally for the final - aka "single transferable vote" - is described in the "PS"). There is no minimum or maximum amount of songs you can rank, but because of the nature of single transferable vote, it is highly recommended to rank as many songs as possible, rather than only one or two. Those who rank fewer songs run a greater risk of their ballots being discarded as I am counting the ballots. Again, this is all described in the "PS". Why not implement at a minimum number of songs to rank? Well, I believe in giving you folks as much freedom as possible.

Please consider to the best of your ability: how musically interesting the song is (including and not limited to musical phrasing and orchestration); its lyrics; context within the film (contextual blurbs provided for every entry for those who haven't seen the films); choreography/dance direction (if applicable); and the song's cultural impact/life outside the film (if applicable, and by far the least important factor). Imperfections in audio and video quality may not be used against any song. I encourage you to send in comments and reactions with your rankings - it’s always fun to read reactions to individual songs, and it usually makes the process (for everyone) more enjoyable!

The deadline for submission is Tuesday, December 31 at 7 PM Pacific Time / 5 PM Hawai'i / 6 PM Alaska / 9 PM Central / 10 PM Eastern. If you're across the Atlantic, that's New Year's Day at 3 AM GMT / 4 AM CET / 5 AM EET. There will be no deadline extensions.

The fifteen finalists (to access the below via YouTube playlist, click here... please keep in mind many of these finalists are meant to be watched and listened to):

“Are We Dancing?”, music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, The Happiest Millionaire (1967)

Performed by John Davidson and Leslie Ann Warren

After convincing her father to let her attend boarding school, Cordy Biddle (Warren) meets Angier “Angie” Buchanan Duke (Davidson in his film debut) at a social dance. Cordy, stressing herself too much in believing that she must go out of her way to attract a boy, is pleasantly surprised by Angie’s taking to her. Just before the song, she initially dismisses waltzes as a dance, “for old people” - repeating a line her father said once. The song’s melody is quoted occasionally in the film’s score.

“Crazy World”, music by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, Victor/Victoria (1982)

Performed by Julie Andrews

Victoria Grant (Andrews) is a woman playing a man named “Victor” who is impersonating a woman. Victoria, as Victor, has become the hit vaudeville act of Paris. This is Victoria’s first performance as “Victor” not pretending to be a woman. Is your head spinning yet?

“Detroit”, music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, The Happiest Millionaire

Performed by John Davidson and Lesley Ann Warren

(partial use in film)

Lovebirds Cordy Biddle (Warren) and Angier “Angie” Buchanan Duke (Davidson in his film debut) have been discussing their future together. Angie does not want to inherit his father’s tobacco business - instead wishing to head to Detroit to be a part of the automotive industry (the film is set in 1916, as the city was booming because of the auto industry).

“East Bound and Down”, music and lyrics by Jerry Reed and Dick Feller, Smokey and the Bandit (1977)

Performed by Jerry Reed

This is the theme song for this comedy, which also describes the plot somewhat. Smokey and the Bandit is about two truckers - “Bandit” (Burt Reynolds) and “Snowman” (Reed) - who have been offered $80,000 by a rich Texan to pick up 400 cases of Coors beer from Texarkana, Texas and return to Atlanta within twenty-eight hours. In 1977, Coors was only found in the Western U.S. and transporting it across Southern state lines was illegal (giving Coors a mystique in the Eastern U.S.).

“I Dug a Ditch”, music by Burton Lane, lyrics by Lew Brown and Ralph Freed, Thousands Cheer (1943)

Performed by the Kay Kyser Band, Kathryn Grayson, Georgia Carroll, Harry Babbitt, Sully Mason, M.A. Bogue, and chorus

NOTE: An entirely separate song, “Should I”, is integrated from 3:04-3:36.

Apologies for the text overlaying the video. The second half of Thousands Cheer is essentially an elaborate revue musical performance for American World War II troops in which the film’s initial pretense of attempting a story is entirely dropped. “I Dug a Ditch” is one of the songs appearing in the film’s second half.

“I Wish I Didn’t Love You So”, music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, The Perils of Pauline (1947)

Performed by Betty Hutton

Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song

Based on the life of silent film actress Pearl White (played by Hutton), The Perils of Pauline sees Pearl become a star in silent serial films, garnering worldwide popularity. Complications with Pearl’s engagement and impending wedding/honeymoon with her partner force her to break the engagement and leave the film industry. Much later - far from Hollywood, feeling down - she auditions for a Paris nightclub with this song.

“(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again”, music by Elton John, lyrics by Bernie Taupin, Rocketman (2019)

Performed by Elton John and Taron Egerton

This is the first song played over the end credits of this biopic of Elton John. This is John and Taupin’s (John’s songwriting partner through the 1960s-1990s) first collaboration outside the Sherlock Gnomes series for this decade.

“The Joint Is Really Jumpin’ in Carnegie Hall”, music and lyrics by Roger Edens, Ralph Blane, and Hugh Martin, Thousands Cheer (1943)

Performed by Judy Garland and Jose Iturbi

The second half of Thousands Cheer - where this song is found - is essentially an elaborate revue musical performance for American World War II troops in which the film’s initial pretense of attempting a story is entirely dropped.

“Le Jazz Hot!”, music by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, Victor/Victoria (1982)

Performed by Julie Andrews

Victoria Grant (Andrews) is making her Parisian debut playing a man named “Victor” who is impersonating a woman. The scheme was hatched by her friend, Carroll “Toddy” Todd (Robert Preston) - both of them desperate for money, and Toddy is the only one who knows that “Victor” is Victoria. Preston, Lesley Ann Warren, James Garner, and John Rhys-Davies, and Alex Karras are present in this scene.

“The Next Right Thing”, music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Frozen II (2019)

Performed by Kristen Bell

Anna (Bell) has seemingly lost her friends and her sister at what is the lowest point in the film. Uncertain what to do, she recalls a small piece of advice that leads her forward.

“The Place Where Lost Things Go”, music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, Mary Poppins Returns

(Initial performance) / (reprise)

Performed by Emily Blunt; reprise by Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh, and Joel Dawson

Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song

This is a lullaby sung by Mary Poppins (Blunt) to the Banks children, who have lost their mother before the events of the film. The song was inspired by an idea from P.L. Travers’ Mary Poppins novels, in which Poppins takes Jane and Michael Banks (the aunt and father of the Banks children for this film, respectively) to the moon. There, they learn that the dark side of the moon is where things get lost. The song is referenced occasionally in the film’s score.

“The Shady Dame from Seville”, music by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, Victor/Victoria (1982)

(Initial performance) / (reprise to be watched at your own spoiler-y risk)*

Performed by Julie Andrews; reprise by Robert Preston

*watch at your own spoiler-y risk because it gives away the film’s comical musical ending

Victoria Grant (Andrews), after making her Parisian debut playing a man named “Victor” who is impersonating a woman, has become the hit vaudeville act of Paris. This is one of her signature performances. Preston’s reprise - which appears near the film’s conclusion - was done in one take, hence his sweaty and fatigued appearance at the end.

“Suite: Judy Blue Eyes”, music and lyrics by Stephen Stills, Woodstock (1970)

(an excerpt of how this song is framed in the film)

Performed by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Brief Spanish lyrics sung in counterpoint

Directed by Michael Wadleigh, Woodstock was the official documentary film for the eponymous August 1969 music festival. The festival organizers retained film distribution and music recording rights. “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” refers to Stills’ thoughts towards his imminent breakup with folk singer Judy Collins. This song is composed in the form of a classical music suite (in layman’s terms, it sounds like an ordered collection of separate songs in one).

“Trường Tương Tư”, music and lyrics by Leon Le, Song Lang

Performed by Isaac and Liên Bỉnh Phát

Lyrics in Vietnamese

English translation and context are in the link.

“Woodstock”, music and lyrics by Joni Mitchell, Woodstock

Performed by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

This song appears in the end credits to Woodstock - the official documentary film for the eponymous August 1969 musical festival.

The winner is somewhere above. They will join a list that includes the following past winners:

2018: "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing", Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing (1955)

Go forth and listen! You may submit your responses in any way, as long as they come in before the deadline. I am free to answer any questions about anything you have about the process.

Happy listening, and have a happy holiday season as we conclude this decade (already?)!

TABULATION Like the preliminary... a respondent’s first choice receives 10 points, the second choice receives 9, the third choice receives 8, etc. HOWEVER, this points system is used only for tiebreaker purposes.

The winner is determined by a process called single transferable vote (the Academy Awards uses this method to choose a Best Picture winner, visually represented here - you should really watch this video if the below doesn't make sense... which it probably won't):

All #1 picks from all voters are tabulated. A song needs more than half of all aggregate votes to win (50% of all votes plus one... i.e. if there are thirty respondents, sixteen #1 votes are needed to win on the first count).

If there is no winner after the first count (as is most likely), the song(s) with the fewest #1 votes or points is/are eliminated. Placement will be determined by the tiebreakers described below. Then, we look at the ballots of those who voted for the last-placed song(s). Their votes then go to the highest-remaining and non-eliminated song on their ballot.

This process (in step #2) repeats until one song has secured 50% plus one of all votes. We keep eliminating nominees and transfer votes to the highest-ranked, non-eliminated song on each ballot. NOTE: It is possible after several rounds of counting that respondents who did not entirely fill in their ballots will have wasted their votes at the end of the process. For example, if a person voted the second-to-last place song as their #1, ranked no other songs, and the count has exceeded two rounds, their ballot is discarded (lowering the vote threshold needed to win), and they have no say in which song ultimately is the winner.

A song wins when it reaches more than fifty percent of all #1 and re-distributed votes.

Tiebreakers: 1) first song to receive 50% plus one of all #1 and transferred votes; 2) total points earned; 3) total #1 votes; 4) placement on my ballot; 5) placement on my sister’s ballot; 6) tie declared
