If I remember correctly, the reason you said you wanted to do this Action Countdown was because of the lack of action movies in the List section of this site, but the way that you're rushing through this, it's not likely to become an official list, so it won't be in the List section anyway.
Why should it's pace have any impact on that?

It's been stretched overlong as it is. 3 months is not
little time. As I said, I watched several dozen movies in that period. No one was obligated to do that, but the argument was that there should be more time to watch said movies. Yet the vast majority of lists I've received are from when I first started this thread and the past week, accompanied by comments of how their lists were "just thrown together".
And people said the same thing in the 50s Countdown with WAY more time. I don't think kickin' this Countdown in the ass is unwarranted at this point.
People asked for more time,
I gave it,
they didn't take advantage of it,
now people want
more time again,
NO! I'm sick of it!
I don't feel like draggin' my ass on this anymore.
I didn't want it to be 3-months long, but I responded to complaints and put off the duedate despite my reservations and now after all that time people are
still complaining.
I consider myself a fairly patient person, but this is an entirely needless test of it's limits.
I wanted to do an Action Countdown, it was 3 months long, we got almost as many lists as the 50s Countdown with MORE than as many nominations, LET'S JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

Thank you for the vote of confidence.
