DVDTalk's Third Quadrennial Leap Day Challenge, 2/27/2020 to 3/2/2020
DVDTalk's Third Quadrennial Leap Day Challenge https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...51a2c30af.jpegWhy? - Another Challenge? Are you kidding me? No, sadly, I'm serious. I've always had a fascination with Leap Day and time travel, and the theme segues well into the Action/Adventure Challenge held each March. What? - Any film or TV episode or short that deals with Leap Day or Time Travel in any way is allowed. Even not really time travel things like Groundhog Day and Sliders can count if you want them too. We’re pretty liberal in this one. Commentaries or alternate versions are allowed, but otherwise each specific item can only be counted once. When? - We start at dusk, February 27th 2020, and run until dawn on March 2nd 2020. This now expanded time period encompasses the actual Leap Day, the day of either side which sort of substitute for Leap Day for birthdays and anniversaries on non-leap years, and our normal dusk/sunset and dawn/sunrise bonus hours. Anything you complete during these eighty or so hours can be counted. As a bonus, we'll start the Action/Adventure/Crime Challenge two days early this year (but only time travel content), so you could get double credit during this entire Challenge if so inclined. We call this time the "Leap Day Challenge Time Paradox". Obviously, there is also double Challenge credit with our February Romance/Musical Challenge during the most of our time frame here. And, woah, I guess we have another triple credit scenario. I’m too tired to get into that, but you can probably figure it out. How? - Watch the items on TV, computer screens, in theaters, on your phones, or through direct neural transmission if you are participating from the future. Everything counts as one. No wild cards. No need for a separate list thread. Just create a post in here for your list. Feel free to spoiler it if it’s big. Where? - Don't you mean, "when?" Discuss the Challenge and your viewings in this, the Discussion Thread. Let's just include our lists in this thread. I imagine we'll only have a handful of participants, so a few lists mixed into this thread shouldn't be a problem. Please keep them spoilered if they get too long to reduce clutter. Who? - Anyone and everyone is invited. In fact, anyone on this planet that watches a Time Travel related item during this time frame, has participated in the Challenge whether they know of our existence or not. However, one is only eligible for prizes if they post a list in this thread. |

Reserved for our returning sponsor, Hamilton Books! http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...nBookLogo3.png GoldenWheels has graciously agreed to again sponsor our little shindig here. There will be three prize winners randomly chosen from among all participants. Winners can select one time travel related item from their site, of up to $20 value. The below link is a generic link to items with ‘time travel’ in the description, but there are other qualifying items amongst their huge selection of all kinds of media at great prices. https://www.hamiltonbook.com/product...travel&cat_id= |

From the last thread, info on previous prizes:
I dropped the ball back in 2016 and forgot to pick winners and coordinate prizes with GoldenWheels. The upcoming return of this quadrennial event reminded me to take care of this. I sincerely apologize for the delay. DVDTalk member GoldenWheels has graciously provided us prizes from his company Hamilton Books. They are probably our oldest sponsor of DVDTalk Challenges, and at least the most consistent and prolific. Randomizer.org has picked 5 winners, who can pick any time travel related item of $15 and under. Here is a link to a generic time travel search of their many books, CDs, films, and other products, but many more related items are available with better searching. The winners are bacigalup, Dimension X, CrazyMat, Cardsfan111, and ntnon Please PM me your prize choice, backup choice, and address, and I’ll collate and give to GoldenWheels. |
Re: DVDTalk's Third Quadrennial Leap Day Challenge, 2/27/2020 to 3/2/2020
I have both volumes of The Time Tunnel, Godzilla vs King Ghidorah , and there is even a time travel episode of Ancient Aliens. Between that and Doctor Who, and time travel episodes of Star Trek, on Amazon Prime, I should be set.

On a semi-related note, are we supposed to receive notifications of some kind when we're tagged (like above)? I don't believe I did unless I just don't know where to look. |

Re: DVDTalk's Third Quadrennial Leap Day Challenge, 2/27/2020 to 3/2/2020
Gotcha. Checked my settings and I didn't have that box checked. Doesn't make sense to have that function in the forum if it doesn't notify you.
It's rare that I might know what I'll watch for a challenge this far ahead of time, but I recently picked up the first 2 seasons of Continuum from Big Lots and it seems perfectly designed for this. I'll make this my list post: February 28 1. Continuum - A Stitch in Time 2. Continuum - Fast Times 3. Continuum - Wasting Time |

When I saw it's a weekend I immediately considered asking off that Friday (and possibly Monday as well - I have ~30 days left. I get 20 days/year and unused roll over) and make it a long weekend. Not sure - I still would have to get dressed, take kids to school, and pick them up in the afternoon. That always puts a crimp in those type of days. |

Trevor,
Just PM'ed my prize selections & thanks!! Other housekeeping, I think I’ll just go with last time’s limited theme days and checklist, let me get them in here back in post two, hopefully in the next few minutes. But feel free to correct me or suggest additions or changes. Nothing needs to be fully locked in for another 3 weeks I guess. |

Even though the list is likely not exhaustive and only movies, feel free to check out Wikipedia for a summary and ideas:

Here's some original Outer Limits episodes that should qualify:
"The Man Who Was Never Born", "Controlled Experiment", "The Forms of Things Unknown", "Soldier" and "Demon With a Glass Hand". "Controlled Experiment" might be borderline, since it's about manipulating time instead time travel. |
Re: DVDTalk's Third Quadrennial Leap Day Challenge, 2/27/2020 to 3/2/2020
There are also a couple episodes of the original Twilight Zone that have to do with time travel. I know of at least four.

A variation on 2/3 above could be -Past character travels to the present (Kate and Leopold) -Present character travels to the future (Back to the Future 2) -Present character travels to the past (Back to the Future 1 and 3) -Future character travels to the present (Terminator) Or condense the above into travels forward/travels backward. Or some randoms: -Character time-travels to try to change history (Terminator) -Character meets actual historical figures (Midnight in Paris) -Dinosaurs -The Old West

Here's a site pertinent to the thread -
Temporal Anomalies in Time Travel Movies It includes a nice list of time travel movies on the sidebar on the right side of the page.

Might not be strictly Time Travel (although several are), but one Checklist item I introduced a few years ago to the SciFi challenge might be appropriate. Films that take place in a future that has already come and passed. For instance, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Back to the Future 2, Escape from New York, Conquest and Battle of the Planet of the Apes, etc.
