At the last moment I thought it would be best to stick to the Tues/Fri format of the pic battle for this new ongoing poll idea.

As mentioned before, this will pass the time until we kick off with a new pic battle in the new year. I’m not entirely convinced how successful this is going to be, but if nothing else it should be an interesting social experiment.

The idea is to create a synopsis/treatment for a film that Natalie would hypothetically star in. On Tues/Fri a new list of options will go up, that build on what has come before. Its probably unlikely but the idea is to have a semi cohesive story outline at the end of the experiment.

I’ll talk about it a bit more after the jump but here is the link for the voting page, which is (hopefully) ready to go.

I couldn’t think of a new poll and the “who should she date” suggestion sounds familiar. But if you like that, give me some suggestions in the comments section and maybe that could be the next poll.

But right now, its time to get voting again. The next film up is V, which I think will get a pretty high score.

After the jump are the results of the previous poll, which suggest that Impossible Pursuits will get a mixed to positve reception at TIFF. We’ll find out in a week. (more…)

This week we will definitely have that fantasy synopsis poll feature starting. We'll also have my first 5 picks for films I wish Natalie had been in (did the same…
