As is, the full list of all voted on movies will likely be one large text piece. @viktor, your impression is not incorrect. Writing those little blurbs was tough for me, but I did it try a different sort of writing than the site's usual reviews. Given the way that I write reviews nowadays (i.e., look at both the good and bad, evaluate them from an audience perspective), they're not that effusive. The blurbs allowed me to simply write about the movies good points, and have fun with them. Actually, I'm lucky in that I genuinely like or enjoy all 52 of the voted-in films, even if the reviews were mixed on the site. If, for example, BUTTERFLY LOVERS had been voted in I would have had a tough time writing anything about it. @laicheukpan, I’ll publish it within this month, but I’m having some connectivity problems that make putting up lots of content (images, etc.) a bit problematic.

How come (if I'm not mistaken, that is)?

Your opinion to me is more important than the majority. I hope I get to see your personal pick of top 50. Your opinion to me is more important than the majority.
