And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

at do you mean by "all comments"? Does, "Joe Blow's performance blew me away" need to be whitefonted?

Just plot-related comments, I think. So saying "Wow, Brad Pitt can actually act in this!" would be okay, but "Brad Pitt was amazing in Paul Newman's death scene" would need whitefont.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks for the clarification.

Jessica, it really sounds like we're on the same page with this, because I completely agree with you now that you've clarified.

Here's a wacky proposition: Let's not write the rules for a thread we don't have yet. Let's open Movies. And when we hit post 1000 or some other designated number or date, let's pull together our collected gribes and see where we stand.

In fact, I say we open the Movies thread soonish, and bureaucratize it after the Oscars.

I would be all for that, Jen. And don't you have the power to Make It So?

t steels self for lecture about how Stompies Are Not Moderators, just posters with extra toys.

<blinks, and wonders if the mention of extra toys as an invitation to tell everybody that BF bought self fur-lined handcuffs for Valentine's Day>

Our wings are not tired.

I agree on jumping in with the proposed white font for plot points for 2 weeks after general release and 2 weeks after video release on the huge plot points.

Let's do it!

Is Angus doing Foamies or Jess?

eta: Woo Hoo jengod!

I'm doing this year's Foamies, as Angus is allergic to hobbits.

It wasn't -- I was joking about a conversation we had a few days ago -- but, um, thanks for sharing. Have fun!
