Fascinating to me that reasonable alternative answers can be found with some of these metas. At least some of these answers speak to me of the depth of effort that a lot of you folks are capable of diving. Amazing. Don't see how the constructors could anticipate all of them.

Not a big moviegoer, nor watcher, so thumbing through those lists for titles was edifying. After Joe suggested contacting him about alternative answers, my meager efforts yielded only a couple of anagrams. I guess they've run out of movie names, as googling turned up movies titled Dearth and Hatred. I think one of them even garnered "some" kinds of awards. :-)

I think we are being punished for last week's early release of the puzzle!

Al was thinking "Wouldn't it be funny if the name of this contest was "Number Puzzles" and I kept refreshing anyway?"

If there's no puzzle posted by 4:15, then everybody should get a free mug.

Back in college, I was told you wait 15 minutes for a full professor. How long do we wait for Matt?

Maybe this is all part of this week’s meta?

“The answer is a 9-letter adjective that describes this puzzle”

…invisible

Edit: and in case there’s any confusion, I made that up. I have no insider information about this week’s meta!

And here I thought the slowest time could travel was at an elementary school orchestra recital.
