I am unable to vote, for some reason. The voting option isn't there. Is anyone else having this problem?

New users are unable to participate in polls.  That changes after you have enough posts.

These are all good ~ pity I could only vote for three, but I had to vote for that one with the old guy and his prune juice.

Regarding the avid B-movie fanatic going after remake directors, obviously there couldn't be real B-movies from the past in it because of coypright laws, but in the story the classic B's would be fictitious, but based on some of the classics. For example, there would be one based on the films that used major holidays, such as Halloween or My Bloody Valentine, or one based on an Ed Wood type of film, maybe another based on one of the classic zombie films, and so on. So the film would be part homage and part instrument to voice the feelings of most of us here at the green forum about all the really bad remakes Hollywood keeps churning out.

Chainsawmidget's pitch about the painting was actually a more fleshed-out idea he had posted during the pitch phase, but I made him scale it down to fit the format, and it lost some of the punch. It's actually quite a good short film concept and I have an idea about a tie-in/wrap-around around concept for the movie should it turn into an anthology, which is based on his idea. First you have to see what his original cocept was. Here's his original fleshed-out concept, quoted directly from the other thread:

"The Painting. 
A mother buys a new painting for the house.  Her kid doesn't like it and thinks it's creepy.  One night, when left alone with it, he notices that whenever he takes his eyes off the painting, the figure in it shifts positions.  Eventually, he goes to touch just so he can prove to himself that it's just a painting, except when he does, it ripples like water. 

When the mothers comes back home later, she sees her son banging on the paining from the inside trying to get back out. ... then the man in the painting comes up from behind her.  Cut to black."

My idea is that the anthology follows a character, man or woman, who visits a mysterious travelling art gallery that is very macabre-themed. The character moves from painting to painting, and each one becomes one of the anthology movies. The first one would be Chainsawmidget's movie about the painting, so sort of a painting-in-a-painting thing. Then at the end of the movie, after the last movie in the anthology, we go back to the gallery, as the character goes back to the first painting for a second look. The very last shot is the gallery patron noticing that the man from the painting is not there anymore and the man coming up from behind and it cuts to black just like at the end of Chainsawmidget's movie.

This is a homage to the early 70's Rod Serling t.v. series "Night Gallery."

Just putting in a quick post to keep the thread up. I will not be checking in over the weekend. It would be nice to see a lot more voting. I get the feeling that most of the votes have come from those that made pitches. Just a hunch. We'd really like your votes. I know there's alot to read on the poll, but by voting you are potentially contributing to the making of a movie, if it ever goes that far.

Anyway, since I won't be checking in over the weekend, somebody please post something periodically to keep the thread high on the forum.

Cheers, and have a good weekend.

Came back from a weekend away and very sad to see only one more vote. I'm surprised. I figured the poll would turn some away due to the size of it, but at the same time I suspected the average greenboard member had a slightly higher attention span than average. I'm not too worried. As it stands, we have 10 pitches with 2 or more votes, so there's out top 10 right there. The poll still has until the 1st to hopefully get a few more votes. Once we have narrowed it down to 10 we'll talk about feature vs. anthology and go from there.

LET'S GET SOME MORE VOTES!!!

p.s. How many posts does it take for a new member to be able to vote?
