[nate 5,052]

Cool!  I'll send a pick in a minute.

I dare one of you to review that episode of the Ernie Reyes Jr/Gil Gereard TV series Sidekicks with secial guest star Ricky Steamboat!

Another way we can go with bonus reviews, for those of you that have a life and don't want to add another movie or TV episode to your plate, would be to extol the virtues of your favorite fight scene, which you will almost certainly be able to find on YouTube or Dailymotion.

I think my review of Rama vs. The Assassin from The Raid 2  from my Badass Fight Scenes In Badass Action Movies post series was eaten by the previous board crash.

I have sent in a sliding scale of three picks.

I am thinking I will bonus review some of my favorite Korean sword epics starting with Bichunmoo or The Restless if I can convince my brother to send them back to me.

Mother fucker has nearly half of my good shit.

I'd love to get a pick that I can find on physical media.

Preferably nothing I have to buy a new player for.

But eff it, I like a challenge.

What challenge?  Between me, OSJ, JH, and a few other guys I would imagine that the library of martial arts movies in the collective possession of DVDVR members rivals most film companies.  All of the "rare" stuff is probably in the hands of someone in this project and that can be loaned out as needed.

Speaking of rare movies that we probably all own on physical media, I am working on a bonus review for Drive.

Not that Drive.  

THIS Drive.

I have it on DVD somewhere in the stash.

I've gotten a copy of every film that I've been assigned in a challenge, except where I've already had it.  Luckily, I've not been assigned crap.

In 2012 I wrote at length about Steven Seagal's First 4 Movies!

Yo, save some of this stuff for the actual review thread! Thanks.

When was the deadline for picks? If we gave you options, when are you picking which to use? 

[Execproducer 1,060]

Deadline is the 28th, though I need to check because I think I might have everyone already except maybe one. If you haven't decided which of your options you want to go with, I'll do it for you when the picks close.

Both of yours are still available.

[Execproducer 1,060]

Looks like all picks are in but @Raziel. No rush though, you still have 3 days.

[Raziel 8,139]

I'll drop them today, just need to do the reason write up. 

[Raziel 8,139]

My picks are in.

[Execproducer 1,060]

All picks are in. We'll go ahead and wait for the deadline in case anyone wants to jump in and then I'll send everything out Tuesday.

[J.T. 10,030]

I've got my pick and I also have gotten inspiration for a special project.

I promise to do my best not to slack and get the principle review in as soon as possible, and then I will start work on that double feature thing.

Hopefully I will still have enough time and juice to pump out that bonus review for Drive.
