Personally, I suggest posting Flightplan today. It was #1 at the box-office this past weekend, so I think we should ride its popularity until Serenity crushes it.

I would run Serenity either tomorrow or friday so it's closer to its opening date.

We could move the AU/UA comparison to the start of next week. It would make the three articles appear a little like a weekly feature.

I think we should also post a counter review to Serenity by someone who hasn't seen it yet but has decided it deserves a 0 score.

Tag line: "A Josh Whedon movie with out Paul Ruben or Jason Prestly!?!  You know this has to be bad."

I think Flightplan today is a good idea, Serenity on Thursday.

Sprig, you write it.  I think it would be amusing to post it same day.

Yeah, well, give me something to run on the day we don't do one of the movies and I'll put it off till next week. The problem is that monday next week is page 33, and tuesday is Fog of War.  Thus Wednesday is the first open day next week, so it ruins that. I think we'll go with the original plan, flightplan today, comparison tomorrow, serenity friday. Then two columns to start next week out. Unless Sprig manages to forget homework and do pro bono work for us, then I'll move stuff around again

After reading the review and talking to Skar, I've decided to allow the 6 clock review--that sounds imperious, but my allowance of such is directly stated in the submission guidelines. Serenity is marketed by, to, and for the fans of the TV show, and it is understandable that such fans would find it to be incredible and wonderful and so on. Given the subjectivity inherent to the review process, and Skar excellent philibustering, Serenity is a 6-clock review.

Yes but I've heard the plot of Serenity 2 is Sam Jackson on a spaceship with deadly snakes.

Serenity simply must go up today.  If e's too busy, something I have great sympathy and understanding for, will Fell or someone else please take care of it?

I wasn't too busy yesterday, so you don't have to be understanding. I *was* doing TWG stuff, just not posting articles. Sorry, but I have no excuse.

Guess what guys--I think I might have a book review for you this week, possibly even today. It's not the D&D one (I haven't finished it or had a chance to implement it), just one of the many YA fantasy novels I read, but I have to start somewhere.

Hopefully by letting you know I am working on it that will commit me to finishing it. You can poke me a little if you want. I've been studying old book reviews to get a feel for how it's done. So, yay!

Okay, I finished my first book review. Yay!  ;D

I started with something that wasn't too challenging--a book that I liked, but wasn't too difficult to review.

So I submitted it, but I don't know if I did it right. I copied and pasted the text from my Word document, but I know that causes problems sometimes. And I don't know if I'm supposed to format it in html or you guys take care of that. Let me know if I need to re-submit it or send it to you in some other way. Thanks!

looks like you formated it right, we just have to add in the HTML code so it displays the same way you typed it.

If you can code in the html it would be appreciated in future articles, no need to worry about this one though.

It's also nice to have all these non-movie reviews for next week considering how many we had last week.

Thanks for putting in the html.

It was fun to do this. I may even have another one for you during this week.

And I'm going to keep reading the D&D book. Maybe when stacer comes in October we can have a D&D game going during the get-together and I can "try out" the book's teachings.  :)
