February 2013
Contest: Guilty Pleasure Flicks
Deadline: March 4th - extended!

The Details

We all have them. The movies that are so bad, so cheesy, so over the top and silly that it's no wonder that they flopped. But, we adore them. We adore the melodramatic acting, the horrible storytelling, the cheap effects, everything that makes it a guilty pleasure movie.

That's what this month's contest is about. Since it's February and Valentine's Day is coming up, we want to see your love for those movies that you watch repeatedly, over and over again with no shame even though society tells you your love for this movie is displaced. Maybe you're too afraid to tell people that you love this movie, maybe you wear your love for this film proudly as a badge of honour. Either way, we want to see your love for that ONE guilty pleasure movie this month! And for extra fun (not a requirement), you might like to use a guilty pleasure song, too.

Maybe your secret guilty pleasure movie is Spice World, or Glee: The 3D Concert Movie, The Mighty Ducks or The Last Song, whatever it is, don't be afraid to show your love for it. And who knows, you might find another closeted fan out there

Have fun, we can't wait to see these vids!

The Rules

Specific Contest Rules:
• - Make a video showing us your love for ONE guilty pleasure movie.
• - No TV shows or multifandom.
• - No AUs, Crossovers and OCs (Original Characters) please!!
• - Running time should be no longer than 5 minutes. We suggest the 3 - 5 minute range.
• - The more creative, the better. Don't be afraid to take risks.
• - When entering your video on the Submit page, you MUST enter "February 2013 contest submission" exactly in your vid's description.

General Contest Rules:

• - Contest submissions should be entered through the Submit page
• - All regular submissions Rules apply.
• - Only one entry per vidder
• - Videos already submitted and RELEVANT can be submitted again, but we would rather see something fresh. (Please contact a CM if you wish to enter a previously-submitted video)
• - Please do not use Rapidshare or Yousendit as your only hosting place.
• - If you're using Youtube as your primary link, please also provide us with an alternative link. Far too often, YT is either disabled or muted by the time the contest is ready to be judged. Mediafire and Sendspace are just a coupleof the sites out there that can be used as reliable backup links.
• - Keep in mind that however you choose to host your video, it must be available to be watched at least until after the deadline has passed. If we can not access your video at the time of judgment it will not be considered.
• - Have fun!

Does a guilty pleasure film have to mean that it flopped or did bad?

Sorry for the delay in replying Brooke!

No, it doesn't necessarily have to be a movie that has flopped. In fact, my guilty pleasure movie (Spice World) is considered a financial success. Any movie you'd be a little embarrassed to admit you love. Does that help?

Could I get an extension on this one? I want to enter but I'm super busy this week, so would it be possible to extend the deadline through Monday?

Yeah same here. I thought I could be done by Thursday but it's not looking like that my week is just getting so slammed; Monday would be awesome for me as well.

Ok after waiting on me to finally finish a video, dodgy rendering, glitches, a weird clip that wouldn't take the colouring and YT blocking my first upload, I am finally done and this contest is closed. Sorry to all for the delay! xx
