Boo. 

Yep, you know it. 

[Curt McGirt]

Well, since I picked Dr. Butcher last year I guess I better pick something with some taste this time 

[The Comedian]

I'm in.

[Execproducer]

In like Jerry Flynn.

 

[J.T.]

Spent so much time in the Starfield thread that I did not see that this was up.

Of course, I'm in.

I should also be good for at least one bonus review.  It will probably be for Cobweb .

If you pick Terrifier 2 and I am forced to watch it, I will come to your house and slash the tires on your car.

Curt reviewed it last year as a bonus review so it is off the table

God answers prayer!

[Curt McGirt]

(To Phil) I think JT is either using misdirection because he actually wants to review things like Terrifier 2 or whatever you have lined up for him if he loses the box office poll, or I have to question his methodology in not getting stuff he doesn't like.

3. JT hates Art the Clown and thinks he's the worst horror icon ever.

[RIPPA]

JT is lucky that I too hate clowns

[Curt McGirt]

And I too hated Terrifier 1. 

Going after someone for a stated dislike with a stated dislike is shooting fish in a barrel, really. No fair and no fun. 

[twiztor]

i'm in. love this tradition.

[RIPPA]

Okay - so in so far are

• RIPPA

I have received a couple of movie selections so far.

[Lawful Metal]

I'm in.  maybe.  But I just finished one appeal brief so maybe I can squeeze it in early in the morning or something.
