I would like to thank all of you that have voted on my site, or should I say your site. I am the guy who tallies the vote for the Motion Picture Hall of Fame site. And I am happy that the classics are alive in a lot of your hearts.
A couple things I need to make clear. I was shocked as everyone on the final tallies of the first induction period. I won't mention which ones, but I've already heard from a lot of fans who told me of their dissatisfaction. All I can say is that is the way the votes came out.
Also, Joan Fontaine did not tie for 2nd, she won that out right. Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland tied for 3rd. Sorry, to shock you more but it's the truth.
And yes I was shocked that Casablanca and Citizen Kane did not make the first induction.
Also I get a lot of questions about the Behind the Camera category. I'll explain it this way, if their name are in the credits and they are not acting, then they fit in this category. And don't forget the Moguls and execs.
I am going to try and be a more active member on these boards, because you are the true heart of classic movie fans.
The reason I am writing is to hopefully get your support on a new project, an actual museum, induction facilty for the Motion Picture Hall of Fame. I am working with corporate sponsors to secure this. They in turn are waiting to see fan support of the site. So, if you have any friends or family that love classic movies and know they have not voted, please encourage them to. As I was telling Spence, we had a great turnout last induction period. Over 7000. This time we haven't received a tenth of those votes.
I have added a classified section and donation section to the site. I am not trying to make money for myself. Once again the sponsors I am working with, studios and Some major Fortune 500 companies, are wanting to see if the fans are willing to support this project financially. And truefully I have no product to offer for sell and I know that no one is going to pay to vote. If you have any ideas on how to show them that the building site would be self-sufficient, please email me at klarkkent@earthlink.net, please include mphof in the subject section. I get a lot of spam like the rest of you and delete anything I don't recognize.
If you haven't voted go to http://home.earthlink.net/~motionpicturehalloffame/ .
Once again I thank you and hope that you will support this project.
And if anyone from TCM reads this and would like to help, please contact me. I would love to have TCM broadcast the induction ceremonies. Thank you.
