but this time, it'll be different ;)

I'm sorry the last movie talk was a bit of a bust. I think the problem with asking the crowd to decide what to watch/read next is that most people will nominate their personal suggestion, a suggestion with 3 votes behind it rises to the top, and another with 2, and then all the rest have just the one vote from the nominators. The OP goes along with what looks like consensus when, really, most of the people who suggested a movie/book are now turned off to the whole thing because their suggestion was asked for but wasn't picked, and only 3 people are happy.

Just like how 32 flavors of ice cream is paralyzing, a dozen suggestions that run the gamut of genre and medium is too much choice. But anyone can make a decision between vanilla or chocolate. Now that we have felt the community out a little bit, the OP can put up a binary or three-option vote. /$0.02
