Philistines! Citizen Kane...

[matgb]

Right, yesterday I posted that top 100 films of the first 100 years of filmaking meme. It appears that many of you have yet to see the film at #1. It was bad enough that grrliz hadn't seen it, she posts more about films than she does about Harry Potter and web design, but you lot? You're supposed to be cultured people damnit!

Look, here's the deal. Citizen Kane. When the BFI's Sight and Sound calls it the best film ever every decade for four decades in a row, that ought to tell you something, right? Even the Americans finally got the right idea eventually. Gah!

[Poll #900871]

I dunno, I thought a few of you might possible have seen it...

In other news, my plans to rehost the journal elsewhere proceed apace, the more I use Wordpress the more impressed I am, and the lj2wordpress project has given a number of useful plugins (especially LivePress). For now though, it'll be somewhere to host the CV et al. Need to style it, but the upload crapped out on me a bit too often for me to be in the mood today. Car's in the shop as well, hopefully might be back on the road tomorrow...

What? No Guido option? Worst poll ever!

[matgb]

Right. Certain polls should not be polluted.

And/or I forgot, along with two other options...

I'd agree with you, normally, that the Guido option should be left to XNet forums. But considering the way they've gone (ie, down the toilet), the Guido-poll-option-legend needs to find a new home.

Well, I have done it at least once (and got a genius description of Guido from Paul as a comment. But you have a paid account. As does Miss Freddie. And even a Basic account can switch types for the two minutes it takes to make a poll up and post it (Dot did it once).

So, y'know, get to it. Having said that, polls do seem to be popular, over 30 votes so far, that's more than I usually get.
