No Contest

My apologies for not posting much more about our hidden masterpiece contest. I've picked up some radio chatter about choices and look forward to your final selections.

Tom – your choice doesn't have to be on DVD or be of DVD quality, just grab the best copy you can find.

Kris – you can't pick Cannibal The Musical because it's not hidden, being one of the most famous cult pictures of all time. Dig deeper.

Joe – I think you should keep your first pick – the one I also ordered from the U.K. - in your back pocket.

Jules - I'm really hoping you haven't unearthed an early Jason Statham porno (Lock, Cock and Two Smoking Snatches, for example - real title btw)

Regarding the presentation format. If we have five films (Joe, Tom, Kris, Jules and mine), perhaps I should do burns of all of them and we can watch them separately. Alternately we could do one or two a week here (in the early afternoon) for a few consecutive weeks at Segredos. Your thoughts?

I think each of us should present our film and give an explanation of why we picked it. We all vote on the other 4 films but not our own, giving each a score out of 10. The film with the highest score takes all. Again, thoughts?

Even though I've already picked the winner, your modest choices will be entertaining at least.

Game on!

i vote for either option (burned copies or viewing at your house). also, i like the idea of introducing the film, but i kind of want to keep it secret as well, like we all throw them in a big black garbage bag and pull out one at a time and watch it, so that there can't be any favouritism in the voting - it would also be interesting to see if we can match the film to the person that brought it, though i think there would be some very easy giveaways:

scott - obscure noir from a personal stash of thousands, all of which could be worthy. keep eye out for "black vault" box.

kris - '80's cult classic with bad hair, worse music and colourful street gangs (possibly directed by walter hill).

tom - serenity (or anything with phil collins)

joe - blood

jules - statham

Joe you douche.
As for viewings I reckon we could do 2 movies at a time atleast? so 2-3 sittings? or not.
If I win I will take you all to paintball. I will win because I found a bloody 80's Collins and Statham driven Noir Sci-Fi. It's dope.

what a sec, do i give off a warriors/street of fire vibe?
i mean that's cool and all.

also i'm not doing cannibal,
i was thinking of a little picture called jarry maguire.. maybe you've heard of it.
but nah, maybe something older.. i was thinking maybe a little film people called smokey and the bandit.
heard of it?

honestly my pic, the sweet smell of success, is gonna play the roof off the houses

i second mot's idea of 2-3 movies per viewing.
i don't think jules knows that he's involved.
