Hey guys, just thought I should drop you a message to tell you that due to unforeseen circumstances I have take myself and my nom out of the running.

Right now there are some pretty serious personal issues that need my full attention, and after some consideration I've decided to pull out of this HOF and refrain from posting on the boards in general. I'm so sorry for messing you lovely folks about, but at this present moment I need to get my priorities in check and my family needs me.

I don't know when I will be able to return to the forums, but I just wanted to say that you guys have been really great to me, and talking to you has been really fun.

Love and best wishes.

MC

That sounds horribly serious MC - I hope thinks work out OK and you can pop back soon.

You guys are beautiful and these messages are making me a little moist in the ~~trouser area~~ eyes.

In all seriousness, though, your kind messages mean a lot. I hope to talk to you about films, shagging each other's mothers and Gimli's odd love for those terrible Pirates films in the near future.

Bugger. I thought that this was going on until the New Year. I still have 10 to go and my film watching has pretty much ground to a halt

Shadow of a Doubt - Cotten gives one of the performances of the round and it's very good, but it's never been one of my favourite Hitchcock's. It has, however, made the final ordering an absolute bugger.

Nevertheless, votes have been sent.

I should be done by then, as long as Lovefilm pull themselves together and send me the last two I need from them.

Reb (and anyone else with it still to watch), MonsterCat has had to pull out of this HOF, so you don't need to watch Control.

Cheers Matty, I've been very much out of the loop these past couple of weeks (loads of reasons). Any other gossip?

Oooh, loads. Mothers reputations have been besmirched, Swords was on TV (but won't come back here), and Paul managed to delete loads of great threads and lists.

You know, same old same old.

Why? (You know that bit in Galaxy Quest SPOILERS when tim Allen tells Mathesar he's an actor and the response is a long, painful "why"? That's nothing compared to the tortured, strangled way I'd say it ever faced with Swords telling me he wasn't come back here.

Oh, and I have 8 to go!

I don't know, but I don't think it's a coincidence that he scarpered to India shortly after Reb wrote him a sexually desirous Christmas song last year (see Off Topic).

I thought he went to India to forcibly convert more Goa inhabitants into Christianity.

Can I be a massive pain and ask for a few more days? I had planned on spending Wednesday watching about 4 HOF films in a row, inside I spent the day chucking up into a bucket. Will the 20th be ok?
