House of Mustard (aka Robison E. Wells) is the author of two published humor novels.  He graduated in Political Science and History from the University of Utah and currently works as a structural designer in scenic Salt Lake City, Utah.  Visit his website here.

What's a structural designer, out of curiosity?

I do structural engineering, except I don't have an engineering degree.  So, smaller pay and a different title.

Dang it!

I posted another review to Video Games instead of Movies.

The Brothers Gibbs reviewed Corpse Bride.  I think it's ready to go but I haven't previewed it because I don't have access to any section but Movies.

Please put it up ASAP since it came out this weekend.  Thanks

YEah, I'll do it today. It gives me an excuse to put off writing a review of Arcana Unearthed for another day.

Cool.  Thanks.

And the second review from over the weekend is of Flightplan and is waiting in the queue.

Oh, and one more thing.  The Gibbs brothers say they will be reviewing Serenity this Tuesday, probably the blogger screening.  We should plan on having the review by Wednesday and posting it on Friday.

Workable?

I'm seeing it tonight, and was going to review it tomorrow, but since I'm lazy, maybe I'll let them do it. I don't want to run three reviews in a row.
So yeah, I'll do Arcana Unearthed tomorrow, and the Gibb's review of Serenity on Wednesday.
Of course, anyone who has a review can still submit it. If it's not essentially the same as the Gibbs', we'll still run it.

I don't mind running lots of movie reviews in a row, as long as we double up with game reviews and articles as much as possible.

Sorry for the double post, but I just read the review. You know I hate 6 clock reviews, and you know that movie reviewers are much more prone to give them than anyone else (because they're accustomed to the 4-star system, I assume). This does not read like a 6-clock review to me, though I'd accept 5.5. Would it be possible to alter the score or, if you prefer, alter the review to justify the score?

No, no.  Run the Flightplan review on Wednesday, the Serenity review should go up on Friday.

No prob. I'll change the score to 5.5.  I'll let the Gibbs' know.

I hate to sound like a pig about it, but I'm a stickler and that's what we do: we stickle things.
