Oz ,'Same Time, Same Place'
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Slug: Did you know that the Chinese characters for "movie" translate literally into "electric shadow"? Isn't that pretty? Um. Yeah, so, this is the Buffistas movie talk thread. Drop on by.
(P.S. Can we please drop the "O" in old to lower case? "old and new"? That second part isn't a complete sentence. Thanks!!)
Sue's slug was pretty good:
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras.
Edit: Oops, this is actually part of her header. I apologize.
Oh, I thought that was the header. Isn't a little long for a slug?
It's actually kind of both:

But I agree it may be long. My suggestion was:
Movies and Foamies and Oscars, oh my! The Buffistas go Hollywood.
But I'm not especially attached to that -- it was just the first thing to pop into my head.
Slug?: A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. Spoiler policy at the top of the thread.

No offense, but I'm sick of the 'Oh my' construction. How about just "The Buffistas go Hollywood."
Or
"The balcony is open."
(Siskel, you are not forgotten!)
None taken.
Problem with just ...go hollywood is that we used it back when we were trying to write a script. But we can recycle if no one but me remembers that.
Or just go with something else entirely, cos I admit it pretty much sucks.

You are not alone, Lyra Jane. I still have the results stored somewhere on my hard drive.
I like "The balcony is open" part, but let's not get too carried away with suggestions here, or we may need another poll.
And "Go Hollywood" ignores the whole Bollywood oeuvre.

Speaking of which, in the movie poll it appears that the Monkey has tied up Denzel. (Where else but here can you see a sentence like that?) Since the thread has not been created yet, should we wait for a tiebreaker or should we go with Denzel who had the lead before?
