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.

Al was thinking "Wouldn't it be funny if the name of this contest was "Number Puzzles" and I kept refreshing anyway?"mattythewsjpuzzler wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 4:08 pm 4:08 no puzzle yet? Al probably already has it solved!

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?
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

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.
