here are my votes in the best and worst of 2004 polls at the internet movie database, cut-and-pasted for your viewing pleasure. voting requires registration, but if anyone has suggestions for changing my choices, feel free to try to convince me. i really had it in for "van helsing" and "king arthur," even though i like most of the people involved. would've voted for bill murray for best actor, but i figure he'll get another shot next year. he's on a roll. johnny depp's been way too consistent for a long time now.
