***Shameless Bump Again***


The Top 100 is up, all Stickied (thanks Austin). I can say this with a lot of pride...all of you chose some really damn fine movies up there. Each of those get at least 4 stars, at least from me anyway.

I had received 41 blurbs till now and all of em sit pretty in it. Special thanks goes to Fortunato, Newb and Jenna for chipping in with some extra blurbs at the last moment, and our special guest blurb writer - our very own Sean Keller aka Roderick Usher - for taking time out of his busy schedule right now and writing some blurbs for us.

I still await some more blurb calls. Hopefully by tomorrow all of em will be with me. After that we will start on blurbs for those which are left.

However, if you still want to claim a blurb from those which are remaining, then go through the list and post your request here. I ll only be too glad to oblige.

Also, blurb-writing is not confined to the members who sent in their lists. If any of you folks feel you got a penchant for writing some creative critical stuff for your favorite movie, feel free to toss a reply here or PM me.

If nobody else wants them, I'll take White Zombie & Spider Baby.

Sent mine last night

knife_fight 02-18-2008 06:06 AM

mailed in my list late (sorry). one blurb sent, the rest will be in today or tomorrow, promise. :D

good to see that most of my list made it to the final, even if they weren't in the same categories I nominated them for.

No problem. Got 2 blurbs from you so far, knife...and I am loving both of em. I am glad you approve of the 100.:)

GorePhobia 02-18-2008 10:49 AM

I will write some blurbs for a few of the movies.

As of right now I will take Poltergeist and American Psycho.

GorePhobia 02-18-2008 08:03 PM

No worries, Gore. I got it saved with me. I ll post it together with the other blurb as soon as I get it.

I think we will need some more blurb writer volunteers. Please feel free to go through the 100 (and the 40 Hon. Mentions) and choose some.

All are available cept a few right now...so there's a very good chance you will get what you ask.:)

GorePhobia 02-19-2008 10:46 AM

I will look over the remaining and see if I can come up with some blurbs for a few. Before I start writing them I will be sure to ask if they are available first.

There are plenty left. You can ask for short blurbs for the Honorable Mentions too.

Almost half of the list's blurbs are done, and half remain. A certain redhead has been absent for awhile now, hence no blurbs have arrived from him. And so are a few from others too.

Lets hope to finish the blurbs by March-end at most.

Ask for it, and ye will get it!

***Bumpity***

Somewhat of an update...

Some of you are blurb-writing demons, I must say. Check out the ones written by Fortunato and Austin, and especially Doc Faustus. It makes for some rivetting reading indeed!

51 of the Top 100 are covered so far.

If you want a blurb, go ahead and call for it here. If its free as of right now, its yours.

No problemo. All the best with the exams (you have to score top grade!)...take your sweet time over it, bud.

Received 3 excellent blurbs for The Devil's Rejects, The Thing and Zombi 2 from Fortunato...and they have been added to the Sticky.

Received 4 more blurbs - 3 from Fortunato (The Devil's Rejects, The Thing, Zombi 2), and 1 from Doc Faustus (Blue Velvet) - and added em duly into the Sticky. All four were very delectably written and required minimum editing.

By next weekend I might get the other allotted blurbs. Let's see then how many we will have in hand to be completed.

I'll do some more next week. My work week is just starting though.

_____V_____ 03-13-2008 07:01 PM

It's a deal.

Out of the 100 (and 40), 64 have been done so far.

76 still stand blurb-less...so, we still got a lot of work to catch up with.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 04:47 PM.
