Voting will close on the 30th!

A lot of solid options, and a lot of options in general. If clear favorites emerge I'll make a poll of finalists.

Was slightly heartbreaking to see my nomination drop to 0% when I swapped my vote to Plush Collection, but it had to be done. Dark Rides can have their day next month, right now I need to know about the kind of company that Giant Porg keeps. Edit: I feel like I need to clarify that Dark Rides and Plush Collection were neck-and-neck when I made this comment, so the point was I was giving up my nomination to ensure Plush Collection beat Dark Rides, not that Dark Rides was my nomination. It's moot now, though, since Dark Rides is pulling far ahead. In fact I just swapped my vote again from Plush Collection to Dark Rides since it sounds more appealing than 1999 Sequel Trilogy.

Theme Park Review

Dammit. I really REALLY want to know how to properly name a horse but I had to go with rides because... obvious reasons! :P

Will Seamon

I imagine it won't be popular, but rooting for Actors Too Old For Their Roles

CJ Carpenter

Old actors or Dark Rides..... But I voted for actors too old..... Looking forward to the next video!

tim_schu

I voted for 'too old actors' but switched to my second favorite choice dark rides to give it a buffer against star wars

Oh my gosh I want to know more about your stuffy buddies so much. I started with one when on a trip, which has turned to bringing home at least one if I'm somewhere around the world.

Shaun Cheah

I've got a similar story; I started supporting my own nomination, then switched to Plush Collection to support it against Dark Rides, then swapped to Dark Rides to support it against Star Wars. Some might call it flip-flopping. I call it displaying adaptability.

"What if the prequels never happened, and the sequel trilogy came out in 1999?" I couldn't help thinking this during the Leia/Luke scene in TLJ, it just seems like such a lost opportunity. If Lucas had found a good writer/director, and stood back a bit, we could have had some very good films.

Alex Woodcock-Clarke

Why does nobody want Jenny to rank the Star Wars character? In reverse order? I want to savour the outrage as she nominates Rose Tico as the best one and Han as the worst because he disrespects Holdo's agency or something! Vote 'Rank The Star Wars Gang' now!

Allyson Cygan

Oh no I want to hear all of these

Thomas Allen Wood

Jenny's analysis of the implications of some of the choices made in 'Ready Player One' makes me want to hear the same analysis for film genres!

Brianna Ogas

I like all of these, so I guess it doesn't matter what I chose :D

Ficsandmusings

"Film genres & their implications" just makes me hungry for a Jenny Nicholson/Linsday Ellis collab. I'm also curious if alternate timeline!SW releases means no Disney purchase yet...

Andrew Kornfeld

Mortdecai Crew should vote for the stupid Netflix thing. also @Jenny please take on The Bye-Bye Man for a full video (if you’re so inclined); I watched it over the weekend and it is sooo bad

Stephen Notley

Boom! Nailed it! Go go 1999 sequels!

Ben

If only Patreon could implement an instant-runoff voting method, until then tactical voting is a legitimate option.

Bill Holt

Thrilled to watch a custom once a month Jenny Nicholson video on a pulse racing hypothetical that I might use to procrastinate working on my taxes if it were the 50th reddit article I had looked at that day. WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS.

Bill Holt

Mortdecai lies in wait... scribbling notes... between gulps of port.

Shaun Cheah

Now that 1999 Sequel Trilogy has an insurmountable lead, I'm back to voting for my preference since it doesn't matter anyway. Even with my vote, though, it's literally last place, but I suppose I'll keep nominating it until it makes it at least into the top three or five.

Shaun Cheah

The key to Mortdecai's success would be to never stop nominating it. Worked for Personal Style.

Eric MacMillan

Thanks to everyone who voted for dark rides. Unfortunately its looking like it wont get close enough to do a run off poll but I will suggest it again next month and maybe it will have better luck.

Bill Holt

I love that strategy is becoming such a part of this process. We need to form voting blocs! Rallies! Street teams!

Bill Holt

Shaun, I am saving that strategy for "Private Resort"

Shaun Cheah

It's a slippery slope from here to this Patreon becoming a two-party system where we trade wins back and forth between two sides who bitterly despise each other. That said, I'll throw my hat in with the Mortdecai and Horse Name crowd if it helps us beat the Marvel and Star Wars crowd next month.

Bill Holt

Jenny could move to a monthly bracket tournament format for selecting Ramble topics. She could call it the Jenny Nicholson Schmoesknoe Schmoeville Schmoedown Hoedown.

Hrothgar Hammerfast

There are not nearly enough people voting for how to properly name a horse. If I embarrass myself and some wholly innocent horse someday because of this, I'm blaming you, Patreon.

Steve Ray

@Hrothgar: If you upload proof that you've started the horse-buying process (talking to cowboys, getting a riding license, filling out a horse-loan application), that would create a compelling ticking-clock dynamic. How long before either Jenny makes the video, or Hrothgar rides up on his trusty stallion, Exterior Latex?

Steve Ray

We would soon see fierce debate over the "natural," "fair," or "scientific" way to arrange the initial brackets.
