I am unclear. Are you suggesting I do pairs of "Best Honorary Oscar recipients"?

David

That was my suggestion

Bruce

The list covers people of all types. We try to use something that is more specific. I see this as too general.

Please come up with a more specific list and I will do it!

HONDO

                                Music styles ?  I can think of  countless titles even without  applying any serious thought to it.

HONDO

 More music styles possibilities.

Lawrence, on musicals, that's awfully broad. I might do a week of 1930s musicals, followed by 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

Mark, on WWII, I would prefer to do one week of the European ones followed by a week of the Pacific ones.

Both great ideas, and thanks very much!

Eisenhower

Rio Bravo vs. The Searchers!!!

I have voted. A difficult choice but I had to vote for the one that is my favorite western of all time.

Bruce

Not to take away from The Searchers, but I think Rio Bravo is a virtually perfect movie. I have shown it or recommend it to dozens of people over the years and I have not had one person not really like it!

Eisenhower

Agreed, Rio Bravo with its music, characters, pacing, Hawks direction is near perfect. I may be in agreement with Lawrence as it's my favorite Western. Seen it around 2 dozen +...

Eisenhower

So long EMP Face Off! Vote now!

David

That's different, putting the staff up for a community vote, does the one who gets the least votes get fired?

Bruce

So few people were voting that I felt it had run its course.

And no, no one gets fired! Angie and Phil are two incredible employees.

I was going to do ME against either Angie or Phil, but I would have been crushed when I lost!

HONDO

I was a late starter in participating in EMP Face Off and will miss it once it rides off into the sunset.

Bruce

I bet you wish you could write in a vote for Matt, Lawrence!

We have so many great employees.

Matt is great and always helpful, as I am sure your other employees are as well.
