Welcome once more esteem members of the Elite #Watchsquad to yet another exciting week at the polls.
First of, I want to start by apologizing for the Titanic Fiasco of Last Week that's why it is important that all voters should be part of the Watchsquad Group so we are apply to resolve any disparity in results. I promise to make it up to all who voted for Titanic last week very soon.
This week we introduced 2 new concepts
1 The Watch King 👑 title
2 Weekly Theme Concept.
Each week a Theme is given and only Movies that discribe or interpret the Theme would be selected This is to further push us to be more thoughtful in our selection process and help break the barriers of Selecting a certain Movie Genre because a theme can cut across many Genre.
Always think of the Theme first as a puzzle, try to solve it before nominating a film that way you are sure it interprets the Theme.
The theme for the week was
Forged In Flames and Quenched In Blood
And these are your nominations.
Please Note that movies with Low rating were not selected because we are trying to keep a certain Level of Interest.
