Execproducer Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 In order to have something to distract ourselves in these trying times I'm debating with myself about moving this up. But it felt like maybe we all were kind of burnt out a little bit for Ernie Ladd so I'll take your feedback.
Curt McGirt Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 I'm up for it. Secret Santo is going well right now so maybe this will too. 1
RIPPA Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 I will just say that interest in Ernie Ladd was way down - both in participation and bonus reviews. Granted circumstances have changed over the last 2 months but I am not sure if that will make it better or worse I will not participate since I still have to finish my Ernie Ladd review that I have been staring at 1/2 written for a month now because I can't get in the right mindset.
Execproducer Posted March 19, 2020 Author Posted March 19, 2020 Well, I'm out of work for the foreseeable future....SO LET'S DO IT!!!! If we can get a minimum of six people, including myself, then it'll be worthwhile. So we are halfway there.
J.H. Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 I shat the bed for Ernie Ladd I need to redeem myself! James 2
odessasteps Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I'm in. Have to look up what my back up choice was last time. 1
Execproducer Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 I doubt I'll do the swordplay theme that I had in mind until this subject is exhausted. So probably never. With that said, this year I'll allow chanbara films though my preference would be that they were bonus reviews instead of picks. I won't take more than two samurai picks.
J.T. Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I'm trying to decide what I will pick, but I am good for that bonus review of Last Hurrah For Chivalry. 1
Execproducer Posted March 24, 2020 Author Posted March 24, 2020 Let's go ahead and make this official. We have five that expressed interest so we'll roll with that number. Samurai films for bonus reviews only. Deadline for picks will be a leisurely April 15 but if they are in before that, and it doesn't look like anyone else wants to jump in, we'll start sooner. 1
J.T. Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 My pick will kinda look like a cop-out, but it is a movie that we didn't talk about last time that needs inclusion.
RIPPA Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 If I get my act together - I might do a bonus review or two (since I had a couple sitting around from last year) but there is no way I want to be responsible for selecting and getting a selection 1
Execproducer Posted March 24, 2020 Author Posted March 24, 2020 I'm going to start writing my bonus reviews for next year's Ernie Ladd soon. Assuming I still have a roof over my head by the time February rolls around. 1

Curt McGirt Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Yeah, that suuuuuuucks. I've seen the photos out there. Hang in there dude. 1

Setsuna Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 I'm in if still possible.Waaaay too much time on my hands these days. 2
Execproducer Posted March 25, 2020 Author Posted March 25, 2020 Plenty of time for anyone to jump into this. If I get all picks in before the April 15th deadline I'll make an announcement and we'll give it another couple of days to see if anyone else wants to join. I have two picks already so we might start well before the cut-off. 1
Curt McGirt Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 What were the prior picks? I'm feeling at a loss with this one. It might end up being a pretty obvious pick, but so be it.

Picks: Bonus: The Magnificent Butcher The Grandmaster Incredible Kung Fu Mission Soul Brothers of Kung Fu The Last Dragon A Hard Way to Die Merantau Drive The Octagon The Street Fighter Five Elements Ninja Enter The Ninja Revenge of the Ninja Ninja 3: The Domination The Miracle Fighters The Super Infra-Man Against the Drunken Cats Paws Gymkata The Kid With the Golden Arm Kill Or Be Killed The Prodigal Son Kill And Kill Again Wheels on Meals Drunken Master II Intimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan Martial Club Royal Warriors A total of 27 films reviewed*. Likely going to remain the high mark for this type of project. There were also many other films referenced in the thread so it is fertile ground for picks. *The Street Fighter was reviewed twice for a total of 28. Edited March 26, 2020 by Execproducer 1
J.H. Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 With Sandy on the cusp of turning 2 there is no way I'm getting 5 reviews in again! James 1
RIPPA Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 okay - since the deadline is so far away. Count me in 1
