I know that everyone has already moved on to the exciting world of the Horror Challenge - who here doesn't feel their blood rushing faster as soon as October 1st rolls around every year? - but here's the final standings for our first ever Sci/Fi/Fantasy Challenge at TE.

By Day 2, I am sure there was no doubt in anyone's mind who the winner would be - and they were absolutely right. Onyx launched her rocket hard and fast and kept up a stellar pace all the way to the final landing. The only suspense was in "Who's on Second?" Well, here's how it shook out:




Onyx: 11,329 (!!!)
Troma: 7969
Ballz: 7805
Bapho: 6075
beatnik: 5320
Foz: 5144
Box: 3482
Zomb: 2271
peeps: 2124
Johan: 1887
Gymno: 1737
India: 1554
Wank: 1015
zed: 357

So, Onyx gets the Golden Ziggy and Troma successfully wards off Ballz challenge for second. Congrats to all who joined in (where were you smerd?) and looking forward to Hoorrrroarrr, turkeys and beyond!

Thanks also to my co-conspirator, Foz. He delivered weekly recaps that fogged my brain nicely with the sharpness of well-honed stats and Cosellish psycho-babble. We will be back next year, same Trash Epics time, same Trash Epics channel to co-host the next edition of this challenge.

I like Tarkovsky a lot but a friend and I used to joke that if you don't fall asleep watching it then it's not a Tarkovsky. Definitely not to everyone's taste.

I saw a double feature of Stalker and Solaris in an art cinema once - my first viewing of both. Stalker was first and for it's entire length the audience was so quiet you could have heard an amoeba fart. Solaris has an awesomely slow start and that long, long car drive at the beginning, then when the main guy finally arrives at the space station the first thing he does is trip over his fucking shoe lace - at least that was how I interpreted it. Up to that point, more dead silence in the cinema, but I started a bout of uncontrollable laughter. I was laughing so hard I was shaking my whole row of seats. I just couldn't stop either. Finally I had to bite my tongue to stop laughing. I'm sure the art snobs were all really pissed at me. I enjoy that memory whenever I think about it!

Awww, fucking RIP for the awesome John Hurt!

I was referring to Howard Cosell in my original post. I grew up listening to his commentary on lots of sports events. He had the ability to talk about just about anything in a knowledgable way. Lots of sports fans hated him but I always thought he was awesome - so I meant it as a compliment.

When you put it that way - Jeez. I always thought of Cosell as erudite and his command of facts was outstanding. he was never at a loss for something to say or an engaging way to say it. Then came the era of the ex-sportsjock commentator and deadspace was born.

What did you think of 11/22/63 BTW? I'm sure you've posted your reactions somewhere bbut I missed 'em.

For me, despite a few changes, it captured the mood and substance of King's novel perfectly. It got better and better too and i remember feeling a lull in the middle of reading King's book. Makes me want to reread it.

They did a great job of letting you feel the past pushing back. Franco even directed a great episode too.

Like you i get the sci/fi fantasy itch about as often as I do horror. I was very happy when this challenge started up on IMDb because (gasp) sometimes I get bored concentrating only on horror. Glad you enjoyed it.

Congrats again on your victory, OnyX! I think you scored about twice as much as I did.

Yeah, this is a fairly serious Challenge crew at TE. Lots of people really getting into some of the usually smaller challenges. And with some old faces showing up for October & Novemeber things are just going to get more competitive. Glad you had a great time. So how hard is Onyx to live with now that she smoked us all? emoticon

Hopefully Jimb digs the result... if he ever sees it. emoticon
