For each movie, the number of votes in each of the five categories is shown.
Since votes can be split across two adjacent categories, totals for a category
are not necessarily integers. TOT shows the total number of votes cast for
that movie. SCORE is the average of all of the votes for the movie using
the following point scale:
Excellent 4
Excellent/Good 3
Good 2
Good/Average 1
Average 0
Average/Poor -1
Poor -2
Poor/Awful -3
Awful -4
These two quantities are given only for those movies with more than 5 votes.
The totals line at the bottom shows the distribution of votes among
the five categories and the total number of votes cast, along with
the average over all votes cast.
To submit a vote, simply send me mail at the address below listing
each movie you wish to vote for, one to a line, and the vote you
give it: Excellent, Good, Average, Poor, Awful. You may split a vote
across two adjacent categories-- see below. It would be most helpful
if you separate the movie title and your vote with a single tab:
E.T. AVERAGE
2001: A Space Odyssey Average/Good
etc.....
Duplicate votes will be rejected. Movies which have not received
any votes for two weeks will be put on the next posting's "EXPIRING"
list, like the one above. If a third week passes and the movie has
still not received a vote, it is archived and dropped from the list.

Sorry this one is so late this time, but we've had some power
problems here this week.
