I feel guilty "winning" my own Challenge. I just got on a roll with them one weekend, and went trailer DVD/youtube compilation crazy. Really watched 517 mostly trailers (and actually 86 more because I forgot many I repeated with commentary track), but that number was too obscene to put in bold. One of our Leap Day Challenge double credit participants. Posts - 6 3rd - BobO'Link - 155First time viewings - 55 Goals - none posted I saw all the trailers in Giles list and that inspired me, so blame him if you don't like my list. Hey, where did you get your list post picture? One of eight people tied for a distant second on the Best List Poll. Posts - 41 4th - coyoteblue - 143First time viewings - 55 Goals - none posted Finished the checklist! One of eight people tied for a distant second on the Best List Poll.

One of our Leap Day Challenge double credit participants. Posts - 11 6th - hbsvb - 111First time viewings - 99 Goals - none posted Wow, had never seen Die Hard 2! I love that you included the genres in your list. If I think of it and most people agree, maybe we can all do that next year and I'll have genre stats. Posts - 0 7th - HyperWeather - 102First time viewings - n/a Goals - none posted Has 7 posts in their DVDTalk history, and all of them are different Challenge list posts. Hope you enjoyed your DVR marathon and stick around the forum. Took advantage of pre-1st dusk time. Post - 1 8th - KaBluie - 101First time viewings - 37 Goals - none posted Only post was about being under the weather. Got a late start and still cracked 100 with no shorts! I've always wanted to check out Veronica Mars. I imagine you'd give your recommendation? Posts - 3 9th - cardsfan111 - 100First time viewings - 56 Goals - Completed both goals.

How you stopped at 98 and didn't squeeze in two more shorts or trailers is beyond me. I almost gave you two of mine to put you at the century mark. One of our Leap Day Challenge double credit participants. Posts - 31 12th - Ash Ketchum - 91First time viewings - 91 Goals - Completed! Finished the checklist! Should have been just a tie for 11th place, but I'm awarding you sole possession of it since you completed the checklist. I'm arbitrary. Loved the time totals and format listings! 100% FTVs! One of our Leap Day Challenge double credit participants. Posts - 33 13th - kenbenobi - 89First time viewings - n/a Goals - none posted When I grow up, I want to be Ash Ketchum. Not only does he have a cool name that makes me think of Alien and french fries, two of my favorite things, but he makes beautiful lists and is extremely knowledgeable on film. Ash was the runaway winner of our best list contest, with a nearly unanimous victory. Posts - 3 14th - GoBear - 64First time viewings - 89 Goals - none posted Not bad for a newbie!

And let's work on spicing up the formatting of your list, ok? ;) One of our Leap Day Challenge double credit participants. Posts - 4 19th (tie) - Mister Peepers - 44First time viewings - 46 Goals - none posted 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. Posts - 39 19th (tie) - pagefrance - 44First time viewings - 44 Goals - none posted I hope Sucker Punch isn't as bad as you say, I just bought it. List voted most ASCII-ish.

Posts - 0 34th - TheManInBlack - 6First time viewings - 4 Goals - none posted Also disappeared on the 10th, after a great list up until that point. So what happened on the 10th? Did I piss people off? Or was there a love fling between Numes and a cubfaninmd? One of eight people tied for a distant second on the Best List Poll. Posts - 0 35th - 3onameathook - 3First time viewings - n/a Goals - none posted Welcome new member! But did we scare you off? All 6 viewings were done on the 1st, and by 6pm. So if we just assume they kept watching at that rate since then and haven't had time to post, this man's actual total is over 300. Great job Johnny! Posts - 0 36th - Ginwen - 1First time viewings - n/a Goals - none posted Welcome yet another new member! I like to see that the Challenges are possibly bringing new blood into DVDTalk. Perhaps the username is a reference to the three titles they watched. Posts - 0 37th - asianxcore - 0First time viewings - n/a Goals - none posted Joined us for one film late in the Challenge.

Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Prizes pending as you all find errors in my tabulations.
Ash definitely wins the grand prize for his win in the Best List vote. But since checklist finishers get an extra entry in the random prize drawing, I'll give you all a few days to find my mistakes in that area. Pretty sure it was only BobO'Link, coyoteblue, & orlmac that completed it, but speak up if I messed up please. |
Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Nicely done. :up:

Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Brilliant! This looks awesome!

Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Trevor, great job on the results. This is really my favorite part of any challenge so thanks for all the time you put into this. And since you asked about Wonder Con but it is totally off topic I give you:

Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Thanks for all your hard work with this, Trevor! Really - much appreciated.
|
Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Awesome! Thanks for all the hard work.
|
Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Awesome results thread, I felt really bad about missing it by two entries myself.
|
Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
You did a great job on the results! This won't change much in the numbers but all 91 of my shows were first-time views (I should have said more in my list but I did * all of my shows). It would really boost our over-all percent of first-time views.

Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
oh my god! off by one entry!!

Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
as someone said the results thread are always the best part of the challenge and you did a great job.
sadly my laptop crapped out in the begining of the month and caused me to neglect this challenge and the exploitation challenge but back on finally with a new computer to get back on the challenges and my screenname was created as its my name terry and me and some friend in highschool were big into karate and watching old school kung fu movies and one night while drinking we gave each other awesome kung fu nicknames....and ever since iv been called terrycloth. |
Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Great job on the results post Trevor, thanks again for holding this challenge - it was a lot of fun.
|
Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Thanks again Trevor! Very nice clone of Chad's results posts! That amount of work always makes for a fun read! :D
I'm *totally* amazed I "tied for a distant second on the Best List Poll" as I put very little effort into it. Even less so with this one than the 2 or 3 previous challenges. I keep saying I'm going to do something along the lines of what Ash does but it seems like I already spend too much time on the simple ones I currently put forward. I'd rather be watching something than working on code as I do enough of that type stuff at work (Network Admin/Lead Tech for a large school district). :) As far as having a lot in common... I'm not so sure I don't feel *more* sorry for you! I know my wife would! :lol: |
Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
I need to start putting more time into my results lists. Even Trevor makes them look nicer. I don't have that graphic eye, as my watched movie lists all show.

I think the 8 or so people who voted all had Ash first except maybe one person, with the 2nd and 3rd place votes being spread out evenly. I think the finally tally was: 8, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1.

I spent hours fixing my own cut & paste errors as Chad's tables inside of tables confused me. I probably would have spent less time if I just did it from scratch, but then it would not have looked as good. |
Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Best List? Wow, I'm honored. Thanks, all. And thanks to Trevor for hosting this challenge. It was one of the best yet. I completed more entries for this one than any of the others I've participated in and I still have a huge pile from this challenge I've yet to get to. Fortunately, the leftover war, western, samurai and kung fu ones are eligible for the current Historical Challenge.

Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
oh and Trevor - the pic is a still from 'City of God' (its' always interesting what you find when you post in film title in Google image search)- which I would have and should have watched during the challenge
|
Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Thanks very much Trevor for pulling this together! :)
|
Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Great job Trevor. As usual, I didn't get to half of what I had hoped to watch, but there's always next year.
|
Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Thanks for an awesome results thread and challenge Trevor! I obviously wholeheartedly recommend Veronica Mars, its one of my all time favorite shows, I always end up doing a marathon of it yearly... also I see that I didn't say what the *'s meant after each title but those were first time watching so of the 102 titles 37 were first time watches (the other 65 were 64 episodes of VM and 1 movie though).
|
Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Thanks for all you efforts Trevor, much appreciated. Also this was the first check list I've managed to complete. I look forward to this challenge again next year.

Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Ash, prize going out today. Would have gone out yesterday but I was at BEA at the Javits. If I had checked your addy before I left, I would have hand delivered it on the way! LOL.
And boy did I fall off a cliff on this challenge...I was cruising at one a day which is great for me and then stopped? WTH happened to me? I don't even know. EDIT: looking at my list I realized why...I enjoyed finally discovering the Potters so much I stopped on the last one as I didn't own part two of the finale. So I couldn't watch the first part (no closure if I did). I kind of lost direction right there. Worse, then part 2 was on HBO recently, and I DVRed it...but now I am so attached to the series I am honestly kind of melancholy to see it end and still haven't watched them. |

This makes more than half of us recording first time views. Maybe next year I'll push for everyone to include that and make the stats more accurate.

Now that several days have passed and I imagine my checklist results are correct, I'll run the randomizer and post the winners of the two random prizes from GoldenWheels and Hamilton Books! And I hope you and Ash run into each other if you're that close. I've only really met one DVDTalker in person, and they became one of my best friends and an usher at my wedding.

I see that you got your Noomi Rapace on. Ready for Prometheus? I actually hadn't even heard of Prometheus until last week. I'm sure I'll see it when NetFlix gets it.

Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
And if you want to make an adjustment (and it's entirely up to you), I just checked and 84/100 of my total were first time viewings.
