Live Poll: Favorite Sean Baker Film

@Scholle2008​ You and I seem to have similar taste so I bet you'll like them. The only two I haven't seen are 'Take Out' and 'Prince of Broadway' -- oh, and Anora, but I'm planning on seeing it soon after it's released. 

​@rubyfruit76 and @Jessica

Anora (2024) limited release in the US is Friday October 18, 2024, which coincidentally is one day after IMDb's 34th Anniversary.

@dan_dassow​ Oh, that's great! I knew its anniversary was in October and I vividly remember all of us doing things for the 25th anniversary but I could never remember the exact date. I think I'll remember it now because I've had the 17th on my calendar for quite a while now because any new Baker film gets a spot on my calendar. : )

@Jessica​ Thank you, so much, for spotting the typo. What a typo, yikes.

Baker's films usually take a while to climb in votes: this one should follow suit as it is getting only a limited release, like his other movies, so originally I was thinking about it going live hopefully before or on its release date to perhaps give it a little bit of publicity. If 'Anora' was on the list, I'm not sure I could as easily talk about it so much in the intro.

If you'd much rather it include Anora, though, and wait for a bit, that's ok with me. I'm also wondering if another title for the poll might get it a few more looks but I can't imagine what it could be. I thought maybe somehow adding "Palme d'Or" or "Cannes" but I think I could only do that if I limited it to his films that won or were nominated for it and that would cut out 'Tangerine,' which I'm guessing would be the second biggest vote getter.

Good point, I didn't realize that. I agree it's best to keep the poll as it is. 

And I think the title is fine. :)

@Jessica​ Hi Jess and thanks, so much, for the feedback. I was going through options for the poll and getting especially stuck on the title -- and just generally overthinking all of it (surprise, surprise, lol) -- so I really appreciate you letting me know what you think. I'm ok with the poll and title now. : ) 

@Jessica Thanks, Jess! 'Very happy to see this one go live.

Don't know if you saw it, but your favorite quote from The Florida Project (and maybe all-time?) is in my latest poll:
