THE PEOPLE'S TELLURIDE #13

You've have a few days left to get your ratings in for The People's Telluride.  At the moment we're at about half the respondents (maybe a bit more) that normally participate each year.  Additionally, the Pros are doing their part and I plan to have the The Professionals ratings up a week from today.

Again, email me a list of the films you saw and rate each on a 1 to 5 scale.  1 means it was very bad, 5 means you thought it was terrific.  Decimals are fine.

Report your ratings to: mpgort@gmail.com 

The deadline for this year to turn in your ratings will be Sept. 15th.
