Yeah, this is pretty much my thought process - we're pretty informal, so I'm sure many of us will drop in or out as the whim catches us. I intend to start thread on books I read that don't make the list if it moves me in particular, but I think voting at least ensure a larger number of people will actually read and participate in the ensuing discussion (or at least watch the movie). And if it turns out that this gets monopolized by a particular genre, we can always reinvent ourselves when enough of us get bored.

So is there going to be a new thread to list all of the nominees where we will pick our five? You can set up a poll to allow multiple selections, but it won't weight the responses.

I need to read my nominee anyway before October.
