briskhound2 said:Alright, I'm coming in third. (briskhound2 🤣)

First off—congrats to feralorca82 and gentlebadger88. That was actually pretty intense and a fun ride to watch.

To everyone else, thanks for the entertainment—honestly, it’s been a minute since I’ve been this sucked into some movie trivia stuff. Let's clash keyboards on some other threads soon. 🙂

ruggedfox28 and Ferstar—where did you guys vanish to yesterday? It definitely would've made for a better fight if you'd shown up.

Anthony Smith3—really clever setup. Honestly, the rest of us should probably try to be at least half as creative and come up with something similar. You were basically giving out technical advice on the images, and that ninja bit was awesome. A huge 👍 for all the effort put into this whole thing.

My take? Five stars across the board. But, like David Price5 already mentioned, maybe next time we should handle more of this via PM. Using copy/paste definitely helped a lot of people (myself included), so making it a bit more complicated—you know, harder, where it depends on the individual rather than just a group of identical answers—might be better. Everything else was great—imaginative, well-thought-out, tough but not impossible (plenty of people nailed those cross-referenced images), and just plain fun. The best part was how everything stayed focused on the action genre; even when things got confusing (like how I initially thought that first image from die hard 2 was from K9-Widowmaker because of the hat), you could always pivot based on the genre itself.

So... yeah, that's the gist. 😁

man, what a mess 😬

Four days of the screen not syncing up with the forum... 😉

But to be fair, I wouldn't have deserved that potential 3rd place anyway, since I (slightly) leaned on copying stuff in the second to last round 😬

Anyway - congrats to the winners 🙂

EDIT: oh yeah, congrats to Anthony Smith3 for all the time and effort put in to keep us entertained (and reward us) 👍

First off, I really gotta give a massive shoutout to Anthony Smith3 for setting up this awesome sweepstakes !!!! It was such a blast, even if I have to admit I ended up lifting about half my answers straight from feralorca82 and briskhound2 😁 but hey, it was still a total riot regardless, so thanks a ton, Anthony Smith3, for all the effort and the cash you put into making a game like this happen. 👍

And I also want to send a huge congrats to our big winners—feralorca82, briskhound2, and gentlebadger88—seriously guys, you crushed it! Major props to you all! 👍

It’s been two weeks now... have the prizes actually arrived yet?

Unfortunately not... just because movies take forever to arrive for some damn reason!! I even had some movies I ordered for myself show up before the ones I ordered for the sweepstakes prizes😠

Here's the deal...yesterday the Stallone movies finally showed up, specifically the prize for feralorca82 for taking 1st place, but there's still no sign of anything else! I'm honestly starting to feel a little awkward about it, and I truly feel bad that everyone has to wait this long... which is why I felt stupid bringing it up in the first place. I'm hoping the rest arrives today or tomorrow so I can get those well-deserved prizes out to people by Friday at the latest...

feralorca82, you'll get yours in a few days... I'm heading to the post office after work today to ship your movies out👍

Just take it easy and don't sweat it. 😉
Yeah, things have been pretty weird with shipping lately; I've had a few of my own orders running two or three weeks behind schedule already. 🤷

Honestly... I have no clue what's going on. Even some movies I ordered for myself before this sweepstakes stuff haven't shown up yet. But like I said, stuff I ordered *after* these ones actually arrived fine.🤷

but here... I'm hoping the rest shows up today or tomorrow. Usually, once the floodgates open, everything arrives within a few days.

I'm in the same boat; things are running late for me too. One package coming all the way from China hasn't even shown up yet.🤷

Here...one down...two more to go🙂

So, the bastard decided he wanted to meet face to face to collect the prizes in person, which actually works out for me too since I saved a few bucks on shipping, haha😁
Unfortunately, the rest of my prizes didn't show up yesterday, but maybe they'll arrive today... just gotta have a little more patience👍

Just like I hoped... yesterday the rest of the prizes finally arrived🙂🙂

Therefore... I'm heading to the post office after work today, so gentlebadger88 and briskhound2 should be getting their prizes in a few days... depending on how long the mail takes to deliver them.

I'll just ask you two to confirm here once they show up on your doorstep, and then this whole thing is wrapped up...👍

Actually... I'm gonna take this chance to announce a new sweepstakes !!!! that should kick off around the end of this month...so until then, enjoy yourselves👍

Awesome!!!🙂🙂

Now we just need briskhound2 to confirm...

BTW, was everything okay with the shipment?? Nothing got trashed during transit? I'm asking because when I got my package about two weeks ago—some steelbook edition—it looked like someone had taken a hammer to the envelope when I finally opened it!!!

Yup, just showed up about half an hour ago. My mail still feels like it's being delivered by a horse and buggy out here, but hey, it made it... Everything's all good.

Nah, everything's fine. It obviously gets beat up on the way here because who knows what those idiots at the border are doing...
