Blurbs (Finally)
 
For those of you whom have sent me blurbs that aren't posted, all apologies. We're going to try to take care of this right now, including the few left over from the original HDC Top 100.

Here's how it works, I'm going to list all of them left. If there isn't a name beside it, you can claim it. First come, first serve. Try not to be a hog and take 15 at a time. Also, if you don't think you have the time right now but would like one, please state so in your post. I'll allow you a few weeks. I'd like these to be done before March if possible. Who knows how often I'll be able to make it on here after my move, so if you wait too long it might be awhile.

It might be a good idea to only take 2 at a time. Let's see how it fills up. In the meantime, if those of you who have your names by blurbs don't want them anymore, feel free to say so.

As for the whole thing with M, alky & Doc Faustus both sent me great blurbs at around the same time, so I think I'm going to post both as a one time thing.

Grab & Go!

The Flayed One 01-31-2007 08:23 AM

Fixed.

I demand satisfaction!

Cool I'll do Black Christmas and NOTLD '90. I'll try and get them to you by Monday Flayed.

The Flayed One 02-02-2007 04:18 AM

Updated. Anyone else want some? It's open picks people. You didn't even have to vote to write one!

Elvis_Christ 02-02-2007 04:28 AM

I'll do one for Society after I do my others. I'll watch it again in the weekend and lay something down. Maybe Night Of The Creeps and Sleepaway Camp too if no one wants them?

The Flayed One 02-02-2007 11:44 AM

I think you might be stuck with Hichcock & Black Cat. I'm not sure many other people have seen them. I hadn't heard of either until the list. They both sound great though, and I've been trying to hunt them down.

BTW, you have a pm coming later.

The_Return 02-02-2007 07:31 PM

Awesome dude - I'll have Deathwatch and Trilogy of Terror to you in a couple days:)

Might have to re-watch Deathwatch before hand, my memory is kind of fading....

The Flayed One 02-02-2007 07:41 PM

Ok. Assignments updated. Several people need to look including but not limited to: urgeok, zwoti, Spec7ral, Mothman and Neverending.

knife_fight 02-02-2007 08:25 PM

I claimed Spider Baby a long time ago, but forgot about it (sorry). I'd still like to get to that one, along with Wild Zero, please.

The Flayed One 02-03-2007 07:22 AM

Thanks kf. BTW, since so many of you are around this morning, why don't you TAKE SOME FUCKING BLURBS!!!

neverending 02-04-2007 09:00 PM

I'm still doing Witchfinder General... sorry, I've been away from this website for several days working on my website & radio stration.

The Flayed One 02-08-2007 07:00 AM

The Flayed One 04-21-2007 09:55 PM

So, now that I'm settled in and have a job, are we gonna finish up these blurbs or what?

Posher778 04-21-2007 10:06 PM

Prey 04-21-2007 11:51 PM

Go ahead and list some you'd like. I'm sure there are a few available for you.

@Posh - I'd been saving Scream for you, but I don't remember ever actually getting a Scream blurb.

I sent you a PM yesterday. Did you get it?

Papillon Noir 04-23-2007 09:35 AM

I would like to do Shadow of a Doubt if alkytrio hasn't taken it. I actually wrote a paper on this movie in college. I would be glad to write more, but I haven't seen the rest on the available list.

Let me know about Shadow of a Doubt or if there are any additional movies added to the list.

DP McCoy 04-23-2007 11:37 AM

I'd be glad to the blurbs for Creep and Don't Look Now if they havn't already been claimed.

the blurbs are reviews for the "Other HDC 100" at the top of the general forum. Go check out the list, find a movie you like that has no blurb and give us a review.


I'll take Don't Look Now if it isn't already being tackled.

bleeding_angelgirl 04-23-2007 12:54 PM

it can be a good or bad review?

ferretchucker 04-23-2007 01:00 PM

I think it's just a plot outline with maybe a few simple opinions. like "Wasted my time sitting through two hours of..."

The Flayed One 04-23-2007 07:19 PM

@Posh - I checked. I've never deleted anything to do with blurbs. It's not there.

@V - I got your PM. Check the updated list for assignments.
