[odessasteps 11,461]

I dont think my pick is streaming free anywhere,but it is easily accessible on all the major sites for rental. 

[J.T. 9,109]

I'm in and I appreciate the refresher of last year's suggestions.

Can I be in, but just assign myself the pick I was supposed to review last year and didn't?  

Tried so many times to watch it but was just in such a bad place with the subject matter that I couldn't do it and now I feel like a total jerk for never doing it.  

As the person who picked the movie, I don't think you're a jerk at all, but I would love to see you review it!

It was Lovely, Still, for the record.

In.  And I'm torn about submitting a real movie or a Hallmark movie as revenge for getting Grumpy Cat thrust on me last year.

Grumpy Cat would always get consent. 

Sad.

So apparently, Last Christmas is really really bad

So I am now kinda hoping someone who has money to burn goes and sees it and does a bonus review

[Curt McGirt 8,635]

It apparently also features an exclusive George Michael-only soundtrack. 

Burn it with fire.

Since we are only waiting for three picks, I'll set the deadline for Nov. 19th. Plenty of time for anyone else to jump in with a pick.

i will try to be in, but if the deadline passes with no pick from me, then i forgot and you should leave me for dead.

[Execproducer 915]

Quick update. Still waiting for last two picks, possibly three if @twiztor hasn't forgotten. My goal is to send everything out Thursday morning. Anyone doing bonus stuff picks their own. Thanks. 

[twiztor 785]

thanks for the reminder. i only kinda forgot. have one more flick to watch, should have my pick tonight or tomorrow morning.

[J.T. 9,109]

I am an idiot working graveyard shift.  I'll get my pick in before the night's over.

EDIT: My pick is in barring someone else already selecting it.

Edited November 18, 2019 by J.T.

[J.T. 9,109]

On face value, my pick looks like a cop-out, but it's not.

Bear in mind that Black Christmas has already been reviewed.

No, it's not Silent Night, Deadly Night.  I don't want the person that gets my pick to hate me.

Edited November 18, 2019 by J.T.

[Execproducer 915]

I  wanted to avoid the 'obvious picks' for the first year only and with two picks to go, yours is the only one so far that might fit that description. If this sticks like HH, I expect we'll eventually get to all of the major ones. There aren't any cop-outs.

And then there was one @Raziel. No pressure!

My weekend has sucked, I'll get my pick in today.

[RIPPA 29,816]

I have an entire week off leading to Dec and subscriptions to far too many streaming services

So many bonus reviews

[Execproducer 915]

I feel the need to make up for my lack of bonus reviews for the Havoc. I spent two days in the hospital which was the first time since birth and it threw me way off my game. I've got five days off Thanksgiving week and I also have way too many streaming services. And way too many maxed out hard drives and dvd's collecting dust.

[Curt McGirt 8,635]

I tried and failed miserably to watch my bonus this weekend. I'll try again tonight or tomorrow. 

[Raziel 7,459]

I have my 2 picks and I'm gonna bonus review the one that doesn't get picked, I just need to write up my reasonings.

[RIPPA 29,816]

BONUS REVIEW POTENTIAL~!

 

[Raziel 7,459]

That reminds me that the diverse movies are on Lifetime, like the really good Christmas Carol adaptation with Toni Braxton and Michael Jai White.

[Execproducer 915]

Someone should track down and review the original Cinerama version of The Greatest Story Ever Told. 

[Execproducer 915]

We are all in. I'll have everything sent out by tomorrow morning.

And FYI, most of the picks aren't  on Netflix or Hulu but are readily available for rent, three or four bucks, on Amazon or elsewhere. If that is going to be a problem for anyone, let me know. I see some of them are on those library sites like Kanopy and I really need to get around to acquiring a library card.
