Geek Girl's in, though it probably needs some heavy editing, as I haven't read it since I wrote it.  Which was about 30 seconds ago.  Whoops.

Ok.  The Gibbs Brothers have beaten me to giving United 93 a 6 clock review.  It's in the queue.  I think it should go up today even if there's something else too.

e's not around (I'm pretty sure they had their baby over the weekend) so I will post this. It will be later this afternoon, when I get more time.

The review of "Stick It" in movies is waiting and ready to be posted.

Also, there's a review of "Carrie" from a new guy in the queue.

Also, there's a review of M:I III in MY queue that will be ready for posting on Friday.

I thought we'd see a Behind the Counter by now *glares at JEffe*
I will probably run an RPG today and one of hte movies tomorrow. Which do you think you'd rather have first? We'll have a Nerdery on Friday, and I'd rather not double up. Can you have MI3 ready for tomorrow possibly?

MI3 doesn't open until Friday so it should go up on that day and not before.  However, Stick It would work well tomorrow.  It released recently.  Carrie can be used whenever you want to fill a gap.

Wow.  What difference does a Day make?  We'll just run it late Thursday so those planning on going to a midnight showing of MI 3 can have a review to read.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Why can't it go up the day before? is that part of the agreement? Lots of places run reviews the day before release

Meh.  The marketing firm that sends me screening invites asks me not to run the review before the day the film opens but this one didn't come from them.

Run MI3 tomorrow (I'll have it ready today/tonight).  Run "Stick It" on Friday.  I know it doubles up with The Nerdery but it's in the theaters and the sooner we get it up the better.

I like that plan. So many of our reviews are late, it's nice to have an early one now and then.

Skar, I've been thinking about it, and I'd really rather not run a movie review tomorrow if the Nerdery gets submitted.

My reasons are thus: We're running films today, and running another tomorrow will be a bit repetitive. In addition, we've had a real drought of articles lately. for two weeks we ran only 3 articles a week. While we're doing better (if we go with my plan, 4 this week, having missed monday, and we'll actually have just enough to fill out next week), I'm not confident that the drought won't return the third week of May.

What I'd like to do is run M-I:3 today, Nerdery tomorrow, Stick it on Monday, and push back Page 33 to next Tuesday. Then Carrie Wednesday, a new game on Thursday, and Geek Girl on Friday next week.

No prob.  Go with your plan.  The MI3 review is up as an admins only review, ready for your tender administrations and blurbage.

BTC 3 is in. It also probably needs heavy editing. Still recovering from the night shift.
