New DVD Contest

[maxx02]

Okay, I need some help from the old-timers... I want to do a contest for the newbies and give them a couple of the hard to find DVD's. You all know I won't contest anything that can be purchased, so of the difficult or impossible to find stuff which were the two you all most wanted-suggestions please?

And my next question is, what shall we make them(the newbies) do for their DVDs? ;D

And if you don't have what we're contesting off by all means feel free to play even if you aren't a newbie exactly...





Oh yes and in case anyone has forgotten I still have that autographed copy of Charles II (R2) that I'm waiting for just the exact right moment to pass into grubby little paws.

I'm not sure I want to be known as an "old-timer"! ;D

For me, it was "Dirtysomething", I think, then "Victoria Station" - and we're all still waiting for "Taste"! Maxx, didn't you say there was a place you might be able to look for that? No luck?

Gone to Seed!!

[uncorked]

How about "The last Romantics"---is it that one ? I think Catdishy mentioned that one to me

[quoll]

Gone to Seed and The Last Romantics for me. After all the trials and tribulations, I didnt really get to grips with Victoria Station.

Given that you have changed the intro to the website, Maxx, you could do the identify the pictures at the intro one again - that was a nice challenge. It might also be a good idea to send a blanket email to all the members to encourage those who have visited but dropped off a bit to come back and see what is going on. And ban those of us who have ever entered into a comp before (certainly those of us who have ever won anything!)

Dirtysomething? Citizen Locke? Hank 4? Out of the Blue?

If I do the slideshow "I" have to remember where they came from

[catdishy]

Mermaid Chronicles so I can find out about this Angus character.

Ooh, that's readily available on DVD...assuming you have a multi region player of course..

[GreenEyesToo]

You're best off looking for it as "She-Creature" - and Angus is wonderful! (Well, actually, he's a bit of a s**t at times, but Rufus's accent is soooooo sexy.....)

She Creature is a readily available dvd even if you don't. I have it in R1. You can even rent it in fact from Netflix.

Charles II is appealing to me, even if it exists only in english version, I guess, without subtitles.
About the others I think "Dirty something" could intrigue me and I'd like to see "Macbeth", I heard it exists one version of it, doesn't it?

[maxx02]

Sorry I got distracted on this one. Did we ever come to a concensus about what we'd like the contest prize to be? I like the idea of identifying all of the pictures in the slide show for the website. We have done it before but I think most of the old timers have everything anyhow and wouldn't necessarily be interested in playing.

So let's hear what you think!

[sevensisters]

I don't know how I missed this thread until now! As an old-timer, I found that "Gone to Seed" was my favorite of the hard-to-find DVDs. I also quite liked "A Man of No Importance" when I finally got a copy, but I'm not sure that qualifies as hard-to-find.

As to the contest, I liked the one where we identified the slide show pictures. Some of them were really difficult to identify and it was a lot of fun trying.

[maxx02]

Okay, here is the contest-- I'm going to give you at least a couple of weeks on this one because it's difficult.

Identify all of the photos in the opening slide show (on roofsewell.com) as accurately as you can, by which I mean tell me what film and where you think it's happening, and the first person to get closest to the correct answer will get a copy of Gone To Seed on region free DVD. If the first person gets them all correct I'll throw in a copy of Henry IV also on region free DVD.

Hint, hint, you can find them elsewhere on the website, not just in the slideshow.

For all of the new folks that have joined lately I have some great goodies to give-a-way that Rufus was kind enough to autograph so that will be coming up later as well. We've already given away an autographed program from Rock 'n' Roll.

have fun. and PM me with your list as soon as you have it. remember time counts as well. And yes I'll ship them worldwide.

Umm, where's this opening slideshow? I can't seem to find it.
