I'm going to post it today. Right now, in fact. And I'll post King Kong as soon as we get it.

Ok.  The King Kong review is up.  

It's another 6 clocker Fell.  I agree with them.  On the strength of the review it deserves it.  Sounded like you thought so too in your post on the thread.

I notice there's a review of an old 3-4 musketeers film up as well.  It's good and should be used as filler whenever needed since it doesn't have time sensitivity.

So, ideally, Kong would go up today, instanter even.  And Syriana would go up tomorrow.

Is that OK?

Had I written a review I would have gone with 5 clocks, maybe 5.5, just because the movie has some noticeable pacing problems (and a really jarring transition between Kong's capture and their sudden jump to New York). That said, I thought it was easily the best movie of the year, and a stunning accomplishment, so I will accept 6 clocks. I'll post it today.

I here by request we put off posting any reviews with multiple scores until we get this whole situation settled.  It's obvious we have lots of people that don't like the system, or apparently have been holding in rage against the 6 clocks for several years, that we should probably take a 2 week break from reviews until this mess gets sorted out.

I don't think that would be a remotely wise decision.

I agree with e.  No one that I know is venting pent up rage.  

A problem has come into the light and we have all the time in the world to solve it.

If/when we all come to an agreement about the rating system we can change the reviews that get put up during this time or apologize for the bobble in the FAQ.

Let's keep putting the reviews up.

Sorry my column isn't in yet, but I have to be on a plane in a couple hours.  I'm still doing the holiday themed one, but it's not quite ready.  I'll have it in tomorrow night, on my honor as a fish.   ;D

You'll have to excuse MsFish. What she didn't mention was that the reason her column is delayed is because she was helping me--I'd reached crisis point and was entirely overwhelmed with packing and she swooped in like a super hero with the power to organize and saved the day!

She should get an award--and no razzing.  ;D

Friday's article is coming along really well, but we could really use something for today. Anyone got something they could bang out real quick?
