it's understandable extreme scores should be held to slightly higher standard then middle/average scores.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Do you stickle with a sickle? while eating pickles?

And, yeah, I don't have a problem with the PRINCIPLE of running reviews from the same department, unless I'm not sure we'll have anything after the week is over. So I try to spread it out and give variety.

e,

the gibbs brothers have accepted the new clock rating and I've made the change.  They've also pointed out that the actuall credits of the film bill it as "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" which I changed to "The Corpse Bride" in ignorance so if you could please change the front page blurb to say "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" I'd be appreciative.

Thanks

And yet another thing from the movie department.  It would be great if we could get a frontpage blurb up with this picture
<img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/TWGuide/SER_Intl.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">
and this text
"Joss Whedon, the OscarĀ® - and Emmy - nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE, ANGEL and FIREFLY, now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, Serenity. The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family &#8211;squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal."

underneath it.

The pic should link here:http://www.serenitymovie.com/

Since this is just free advertising for a franchise I really like, feel free to refuse but I think it would be cool and right on for our demographic to put this up. Incidentally, if anyone wants other marketing pics for the film I've got lloads.

(almost) anything to make you appreciative, awesome ally.

also, I'm going to tone down the blurb, but I'll put a notice up.

Fell and I came up with an alternate plan to make it look like a news item with one of my standard blurbs on the front page. You can give it your loving if you wish.

I had to resize the image, it was way too big to fit into the standard screen.

That looks great. I thought I had resized it already down to 400px wide but oh well.  Hope it wasn't too much trouble.

Thanks again.

Ok.  The Brother's Gibbs review of Serenity is in the queue.  Since they got in on a blogger pass I imagine the movie people are trying for internent buzz so I don't think it'll hurt anything to put the review up now.  As in today, yay!

I'll read it, but it had better be frickin' Citizen Kane.

Jeffe told me he thought it was the second best scifi film. Ever. SO perhaps it's justified. we'll check it out. Skar, you want flightplan or Serenity to run today? We're short on articles so I want to stick to one a day until we're ahead again.

What's the first?
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
