I just dumped a couple of hundred releases into one of my big tubs I can take with me for working away. I'll be back in three ways and will definate;y finish off my alphabet, though maybe not in order :laugh:

I know I would have to click on the earth pic since I do that with links for other stuff.  It was more finding the link to a specific post, especially if they are in the middle of a thread...like on page 12 or something.

I know someone said to click on something to get that, but I have forgotten...the little page icon at the beginning of a post?

The link for a specific post is there (you left click on it to copy the link)

For our newer members or otherwise first-time participants:

Please note that, if 27 movies in one months seems too daunting for you, you can also use TV episodes or throw in a few short films as well. It's all good. It's not a competition who watched the most minutes at the end ;)

I think I might have to take you up on the TV episodes thing at one point. I honestly can't see myself watching all of those films, we all know I'm not the fastest reviewer as far as things go.

Last year I suggested to Rick to use the binary "alphabet", so you don't need a very long alphabet. I forgot, Did Rick complete it with the hawaiian alphabet last year?

Not quite.  :bag:

Going for the vowels this year.  :hysterical:

I might be cutting myself short... because I am highly considering not watching any horror until October now. Jimmy has started now. So I really should as well. Looking through my collection I should have other options for most letters anyway.

:thumbup:

Although, I'd recommend starting July 1st, rather than actually today. Or start tomorrow, making your abstinence just one day longer than last year.

I considered that Achim... but I am too stuck on drooling over these old Wonder Woman episodes to fit in some horror movies.  :P

Well finally got around to updating my first post  :P (other thread)

most of those will be first watches but I noticed that I had seen all the movies I own for certain letters... I wanted all the films to begin with a letter but had no Q titles... I can't believe it!

Of course the chosen titles are probably subject to change :p as I only have 23 days for my marathon

Dragonfire

I haven't figured out which titles I'll use yet.  I have ideas for some letters, but not definite picks yet.  

And I probably won't watch them in order.  I didn't the last time I attempted this.

Me too. I filled a few slots with movies I definitely want to watch (some slightly optimistic due to release dates), but otherwise I'm not so much into setting a viewing schedule for an entire month.
