All the other movie stuff has been removed and the blog renamed and refocused to just be about films released near each other that are similar and how they compare.

Also gone is the multiple constantly changing polls to determine what's next, instead is a single ranker list, with addition where necessary.

So here it is: rank them and help pick upcoming Competing Film Showdowns.
