This is what I will try to get to this week.......

Casablanca (1942) - 7 pts
50 First Dates (2004) - 4 pts
Say Anything (1989) - 5 pts
Titanic (1997) - 5 pts
The Hours (2002) - 5 pts
Terminator Trilogy - 15 pts
Steven Spielberg Sci-Fi Trilogy (Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., and Minority Report) - 17 pts
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - 7 pts

*Alien Quintology (Alien through Alien vs. Predator) - 27 pts -- Only if I can get my hands on Aliens and Alien 3 sometime during the week.

*The Shawshank Redemption (1994) - 5 pts -- I'll watch this again if I can get points for it.

I'm going to have to watch a lot of other movies if I want to stay in 3rd.

Yes, I'll add retroactive points for yesterday. I will need to change that with tonight's update.

You can rewatch films but the bonus points will not apply.

I believe my points are wrong and have u checked into that situation yet?ALso do I get points for watching before sunrise and sunset for bonus or no?

Emmy from what I understand, we can't get points for having previously watched a film that's now on a bonus list. And we can't rewatch films for bonus points, just base points.

I watched Annie Hall a while ago and I know I'm not getting bonus points now. But if you watched a film yesterday and it ended up on the bonus list that was posted late, I believe that's ok and a different issue.

Also, I believe Rogue wants issues PM'd to him directly.

thats sucks about the movies and i will pm him later

Hey BacktotheFuture, I just noticed something. I thought xXx was your worst movie of all time. :wink:

l'm pretty much in awe of how many films some of you watch. :eek:

The question of the week: Would you sit through a four hour movie from 1939 without much action for 10 points?

I have a new one. xXx is only now my second worst movie of all time.

I think the race for 2nd place is the most exciting.

Watching last week's horror bonus lists was the only way anyone could have possibly caught up to me (I don't own any Friday the 13th or Nightmare or Halloween films except for F Vs J).

Since that threat has now passed, unless I choose to no longer play or there's a huge personal issue that arises, I'll be far out in the lead until May.

Go Zing and Jmart. =D>

*sets bomb on the back of Loyal's TV and DVD shelves*

Yeah. Personal issues are a killer. :wink:

What's great about this game is that I'm getting to watch a lot of DVDs I normally don't get to watch. My wife commented on it today while I was going throught this weeks list and taking the DVDs off the shelf to schedule my viewings.

Thanks Rogue

Hell of a mass of movies that I will be watching now that I am unemployed :???: :razz: I should easily take 2nd place after this week and next week

The race is on for 2nd place. =D>

I'm going to lose my hold on second place this week. I can feel it. I'm going to Boston on Thursday (until Sunday), so I won't be able to watch a lot of movies. I'll be taking my portable DVD player, though, so don't think I won't be watching anything. :wink:

Just watch a film a day. The key is, stick to the bonus list. :wink:

That's my plan. It'll be tough to get movies into my schedule, though, since it's more of a trip with a purpose, instead of vacation.

Still, I'll keep myself busy during the night. :wink:

I've seen four movies today, so I'm basically done. Oscar time. Unless my school's closed tomorrow (major storm coming).

I have not updated points for this evening. Your total will be included with the next update (around 11:30).

After some time off, I finally get to see some movies yesterday and today. Actually just two. The Phantom Menace and The Village.

I expected to dislike greatly The Village, but actually it was ok movie. Might be perhaps I knew all of the spoilers before watching it.

Some things bugs me still about it. Unbelievability of it all. 'Terminating' Lucius from the movie (though he wasn't that great to begin with). Then, do only Elders know the whole truth? If so, then poor those 4 women that bred all those youngsters and kids. And who did mutilate all those animals? I must have missed that...Noah? Kids saw creature in village, and Noah apparently got the suit when Ivy went for medicine.

Also, I didn't like modern world 'twist', Ivy seeing colours, some editing (Ivy's running away from monster, shot of trees, Ivy's again running away from monster, again shot of trees) and I absolutely loathe that shot of M. Night's reflection on medical cabinet glass.

wdw is getting hit up for a jury grilling....what to I do, out on the boards or via pm? Prepare yourself for my *questions of sheer torture (tm)* :wink:

On the boards! On the boards!

We try to keep all issues private (nudge Dolcevita), however, we shall see how this develops.

wat the hell i do this time? :???:
