Re: 5th Annual Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge Discussion Thread
My last few challenges have been so poor that I haven't even included the checklist. I didn't finish my Potter marathon, I didn't see TDKR, and I didn't resume Buffy. But I did crack open my TNG BD sampler, and I did get in some good first-time views: Resident Evil Afterlife, John Carter (intentionally held off on it till the challenge), Alien 3 (didn't finish #4), Prometheus (conveniently didn't get around to it till the challenge), and Moon.

Re: 5th Annual Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge Discussion Thread
My list is finalized. I completed the checklist with no duplications. The average time of the movies I watched was 1 hour, 40 minutes. All of my watches but 3 were first-time. I broke them down by where I got the movie from, the breakdown is as follows:
TCM HD 31:50:13 23
Borrowed DVD 7:13:38 19 (Anime Episodes)
Netflix DVD 12:31:46 8
Library DVD 10:10:15 6
Netflix Blu-Ray 10:40:43 6
Netflix Streaming 7:18:51 5
Blockbuster DVD 7:12:01 4
Theater 8:30:00 4
Family Video Blu-Ray 5:50:36 3
Personal DVD 5:14:13 3
Encore Action 2:59:07 2
Family Video DVD 3:10:34 2
Blockbuster Blu-Ray 1:58:15 1
Epix HD 1:40:39 1
Epix 3 HD 1:52:41 1
Epix on Demand 1:28:00 1
HBO HD 1:35:30 1
HBO Family HD 1:35:20 1
HDNet Movies 1:35:40 1
Movieplex 1:31:41 1
Showtime Beyond HD 1:37:45 1
Showtime Showcase HD 1:33:47 1
Since I'm trying to watch as many new watches as possible it seems that I'm starting to run out of TCM movies to watch. I will have enough for maybe one more year of the Sci-Fi challenge and maybe 2-3 more Horror challenges so I may have to resort to other means to get my movies. I envy you all that have so many movies in your personal collections.

Thanks to everyone who helped this first timer out with suggestions and answers! I had fun participating and was very surprised to win first time out! I liked this one so much I decided to do the animation challenge as well, though don't know if I'll do more after that. These challenges are definitely making me go through my unwatched piles! I don't feel as guilty for not watching movies as they come in as much now! I was merely waiting for the right challenge!

Great job MP, thanks for all the work on your Challenges!
Sorry about the numbering, I kept meaning to finish my list, but hoped you'd be less prompt!

Re: 5th Annual Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge Discussion Thread
Congrats to the winners. Thanks to the sponsors. And thanks to Mister Peepers for running this one.
I was hoping to hit 42 again this year, but I just haven't been in much of a movie & TV watching mood these past couple of months.

Most of what I'm watching for the Animation Challenge is still sci-fi.
