Law Movie Night: Liar Liar

The winner of the poll is Liar Liar by a single vote!
Thanks to everyone in the Iowa community who voted!

Liar, Liar will be screened on Wednesday, Nov. 9th, at 8pm in BLB room 285!
Free popcorn and pop!

The poll has been skewed by someone called "Joan aka HazelP" who posted a link to the poll on a Jeremy Northam fan discussion page. So very, very bizarre.
The purpose of the poll was to find out what people who will actually come to the event want to see. This person's IP address (66.159.173.251) places her in Connecticut, so I don't think she's actually intending to come to Law Movie Night. But for some reason she voted for The Winslow Boy and encouraged others to do so to skew the poll results.
As such, I am going to ignore all votes for The Winslow Boy. If it received any votes from anyone in the Iowa community, it was certainly fewer than several of the other candidates. Right now, Liar, Liar and The Verdict are tied! Keep voting!
