I'm thinking about going to the midnight show tonight. Have to wake up for work at 0430, but sleep is overrated.

Done! (well, in about a minute.....)

Randomizer run, and the two winners of DVD prizes from our gracious sponser, Hamilton Books, are KaBluie and coyoteblue. GoldenWheels had three prizes for us; Police Woman Season 2, the Walking Tall Trilogy, and a double double feature of Last Hard Men & SkyRiders and Nickel Ride & 99 and 44/100% Dead.

KaBluie gets first choice of the two remaining prizes; and I hope that coyoteblue doesn't already own the third prize.

Ash Ketchum won the best list vote of course, and got first choice of the prizes, choosing the Walking Tall trilogy.

If you care about more adjustments, all my stuff was FTV.

Done. We're now up to 59% FTVs, four people doing 100%, and 23/36 people providing the numbers.


Also, here are the randomizer results for accountability and OCD. I only gave participants #2 through #36 a chance, eliminating myself and people #37-#40 with no items in their list or non-list; and with randomizer chances #37-#39 for the three people who completed the checklist.

Research Randomizer Results

1 Set of 2 Unique Numbers Per Set
Range: From 2 to 39 -- Unsorted

Job Status:

Set #1:

8, 4

I was literally foaming at the mouth at one point. In fact, it took an entire week to overcome the pent-up anger and work up the courage to post this. Nah. Actually I've been prepping for some upcoming back surgery I'm having later this summer and haven't been frequenting DVDTalk as much lately or checking the email account associated with it.

But seriously...

Feel free to use any of the formatting. And that goes for every challenge host. I'm just flattered anybody would actually want to use something I view as going completely overboard on, but just can't resist the urge to do so.

The fact that this results thread looks almost exactly like your annual masterpieces is just a coincidence.
Envy the first time viewings of all the Dirty Harry films, you punk.
900 placement penalty for annual placement numbering errors in your Challenge.
Can't quite say I understand this alien numbering system of yours, but good job sir.

Thanks Trevor & GoldenWheels! I pick the double double feature!

Plan better next time and your post and watch counts can equal.
Envy you for several great first time viewings you had.
You win the Challenge Smart Aleck Award. Prize is the statistical analysis job for next year's Challenge.
And let's work on spicing up the formatting of your list, ok?
One of our Leap Day Challenge double credit participants.
For the record, I had 46 FTVs (including one which I just noticed I hadn't starred and just added it to).

My formatting is even lamer than in previous challenges when I was at least bolding the date headings. Maybe next time...

And thanks for launching and running this challenge. Really happy to get in a lot of BIG first-time viewings. Thanks to GoldenWheels and Hamilton Books for the prizes as well.

Congrats to the winners. Thanks for a great challenge Trevor. Looking forward to it again next year, and hope to make 100 next year.

My logic circuits really failed there; not sure how I missed your and a couple others' *s.

I'll fix the stats.

You're welcome everyone. I didn't really do much work except for these results; but now that I've guided three of these simpler Challenges and began to make a bit of an effort here, I really appreciate all of our other Challenge runners who really work.

And again, we're really blessed to have GoldenWheels and Hamilton Books with their continual Challenge support.

I've emailed coyoteblue, our third prize winner; let's cross our fingers that they don't already have Police Woman S2.

Now back to the Historical Appreciation Challenge.....

Your Challenge is apparently for anarchists and malcontents. Here, all three prizes were claimed within hours of initial notification.

Got the WALKING TALL trilogy yesterday. Thanks! Now, I can watch the three films for the Historical Challenge, since they're about actual events that happened in the 1960s.
