Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

That's another reason a week of Romance within (and without) Oscars seems like a good idea: short enough that there's an end in sight and that it doesn't get old. But long enough for a good dozen(+)...

Yes. Here, too.


Agreed, but:

Agreed a bit more!

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

Exactly. It's vital to remember that there are different reasons and approaches.

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

Forgot to comment on these two points. Firstly, I certainly agree with the suggestion that requirements/suggestions can easily tip over into becoming a chore rather than fun. Secondly, the theme...

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

Oh, absolutely. :) So-called "crowd sourcing" seems like a necessity in inspiring participation - having input directly also fosters the ethereal sense of community and belonging.

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

That draws out an interesting side-point - considering the desires/thoughts of the "core group" (i.e. the half dozen commenting there and here) vs. the possibility of guessing what desires/thoughts...

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

If that's a shorthand of me, then I'm less "everything stays the same" than ANTI-"Change Everything!" Which I think is a vital difference, even if it winds up summarising similarly. :)


Agreed.

Ummmmmm.... possibly. :)

I don't really know, because broadly - as mentioned - time barely allows me to skim the surface, meaning that I haven't the time for them, but my impression of how I see...

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

Yep... that's the Criterion holdings of, so they say, the entirety of Central Mississippi.

I think we can also do out-of-area special ordering, but at a cost (unknown) and with a considerable...

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

Yes, and quite a reasonable, friendly one. But with a VERY limited range. Criterion was what I tried to get from them first, and they have ten.* I have seen all them - most through the library! - and...

There it is. Seconded.

Best of both worlds - nothing changes... unless you want it to.

SO WHAT?

And, more helpfully: GOOD! In addition to discussing the same thing, how helpful (if expensive) it can be to see someone recommend/enjoy an unknown entity. To think that someone with such...

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

Counter: broadness is inclusive. Dilution is diversity.


A smaller set is repetitive. (See upthread anti-Criterion comments.) It disenfranchises people without access, and in an extreme case may...

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

Mildly-flippant reply to this bit (which you even touch on briefly in the next - unquoted - paragraph):

Does it matter intrinsically that Other Challenges are not as popular, not as...

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

I like that... in theory. But in practice, I have limited funds, limited time and limited collection/library/avenues. I can't watch something I don't have (access to), so this becomes awkward.

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

Yes.

I may read through the above soon, but in the meantime... are we looping back to "change for change's sake"? Because IF so... let's not.

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

I had a very different (probably radical, likely terrible) idea - would there be any support for a merger between "Drive-In" and "Action/Adventure"...? The scope of each seems to overlap quite a bit...

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

What about mooting something like this: "120 Hours of Musicals" (Feb 1-6), then "8 Days of Valentines" from Feb 7-14 and "Ten Days of Drama" (15th-24th)? A week of Romance and slightly more/less of...

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

And I'm being contrary (because I'm busy and all over the place) and using Hulu and TCM to watch things sans-disc, thereby missing most of the bonus bits. Dang it.

Oh, I know. :) Goldenwheels is on a par with Chad for Epic Challenge Heroism.

The Horror prizepacks are a step beyond, though... (plus, I wonder how widespread knowledge of non-horror prizes is.....

I have a degree in History. While most of my peers narrowed their focus each term/year, I deliberately expanded the scope. Which was not...
