I didn’t want to see 10,000 B.C. before I heard about the plot. No after hearing the plot, I still don’t want to se it. Blech.
Sorry if I sent too many emails for the contest. I didn’t send 300 but I sent more than 5. Perhaps it’s good that this happened so that you could put some guidelines in place. I was simply going off what you guys say on the show and that’s basically enter as often as you like.
Don’t you think it’s a bit unfair to have deleted those emails when there were no guidelines in place? Don’t blame the masses for your oversight. We just wanted us some Harryhausen.
Not a problem and nobody is getting blamed. It just started getting quite overwhelming so it required us to tighten up the rules a bit.
