Loyal, when I win, will I recieve the Titanic SE or the old version?

I could really use at least a runner-up prize from this. I own only 2 DVD's from the Runner-up Prize movie list. Yikes. I'm not up on my Oscar films, clearly.

PEACE, Mike.

I like your moxie, roxie.

For the most part, SE's will be given out for BP winners (there's some debate as to how different the Extended ROTK is).

pffft. I have return of the King, so when I win you can send me the regular version, or even send it to someone who hasn't seen it doesn't have the money. Maybe donate it to charity.

I wish I could win.

I never win any of the contests.

two weeks from tomorrow the contest begins...

This morning, Oscarwatch linked the contest.

You are all running with the big boys now.

Good luck!!!

Oh Shit! It's on now.

Those suckers have to register at WOKJ in order to play, so hopefully that may limit the competition. Expect a boost in forum member registrations if people over there are really into this.

PEACE, Mike.

that's a horrible thing to say.



I want, dare I say, we need as many players as possible to ensure future contests of this caliber. I have a number in my head that needs to be met. So spread the word my disciples.

Well, I meant in terms of my own chances in winning. The less competition, the better, obviously.

However, I wish KJ the best success ever. With a link on the frontpage of Oscarwatch, you should be guaranteed a good slew of contestants. The prize is an extremely good one. I don't know how you guys have that money to spend.

And you are right, I hope there is success so the KJ awesomeness can continue.

PEACE, Mike.

I know, it's incredible, eh?

I'm so proud of WOKJ.

PEACE, Mike.

I was just about to ask that.

I was going to participate in this because I had a good shot at winning, but now I won't enter because Loyal publisized it
