There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the TrashEpics SciFi/Fantasy Challenge...
Blasting off with an opening day just shy of 10 hours, Onyx flew into the lead and hasn't looked back since. A solid combo of classic movies and TZ eps sees her top of the dark tower at this early stage. The chasing pack is led by TV addicts Troma (Dark Shadows) & Ballz (Twilight Zone). beatnik's turning Japanese (at least I think so) to help him lie just shy of third.
Less than 1000 points seperate the mid table mediocrity, from foz in fifth down to zed in 12th. Gym started his challenge before anyone, having clocked up 2 movies first thing on the 1st Sept. Sadly for him it also appears to be the end of the challenge. Special mitigations for special peoples sees Smerd handed a hefty one point bonus by the authorities as an incentive to join in late.

Don't worry if you've seen more but not updated your progress post, they'll just get added to the next challenge update. Which I'm gonna try to make more interesting, meant to do this yesterday but ended up drinking all night so now i'm hungover and lack inspiration.

for Harry Dean Stanton! Or as he says in Repo Man: "Look at those assholes, ordinary fucking people. I hate 'em. "
I was describing old experimentation mostly. The lost horizon has been on my back burner for some time and I haven't really blacked out from drinking for years. The last time I drank enough to do that I was puking my guts out the car window as we drove home down dark country roads and I decided I was definitely too old to do that sort of thing anymore. I still imbibe, of course - gak! - life without any libations would be dreadful. As Tom Waits said, "Reality is for people who can't face drugs."
1 minute 29 seconds = 1 point
1 minute 31 seconds = 2 points.
I never mentioned that in the rules and so far everyone has seemed OK with doing it their way so all is good. Using a posted time is cool too. Usually the winner is in another stratosphere of points anyway.
I noticed during the Ape challenge that with one of the POTA shows my times were consistently 2-3 minutes longer than everyone else. I was watching the DVDs and clocking them off that and I figured that others were watching them on-line where running times frequently get shorn - often by shortening or eliminating the credits.
What we watch is what we watch. Yogi Berra said that or would have if he had thought of it.
