Boredom = progress.<BR/><BR/>I tried a few variations on "I'll have what she's having" for a URL but they were all taken.<BR/><BR/>The other popular alternative was the Studio name. So I found that http://thestudioreviews.blogspot.com/ was free and have set a little something up. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to add everyone as Admins (so there won't be a moderator) --- thus if you don't like something, feel free to make changes. Perhaps a big change could be proposed in a post on that very blog? I'll get us started with a post about formatting standards.<BR/><BR/>Anywho, hope it's okay! I for one am looking forward to getting the details sorted out and this show on the road!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35361300.post-38716675939111811912007-08-09T09:27:00.000-04:002007-08-09T09:27:00.000-04:00Fav Deadwood line: "Bad news or tries against our ...Fav Deadwood line: <BR/><BR/>"Bad news or tries against our interests is our sole communications from strangers, so let's by all means plant some poles across the land and<BR/>festoon the cocksuckers with wires to hurry the sorry word and blinker<BR/>our judgments of motive!"'<BR/><BR/>I have a favourite America's Got Talent line as well, but the Hoff drunkenly screwed it up. <BR/><BR/>Fine, movies, TV it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35361300.post-13421746322607513842007-08-09T09:21:00.000-04:002007-08-09T09:21:00.000-04:00And, by the way, as I've said before, we're not li...And, by the way, as I've said before, we're not limited to New Releases here. I'd wager a significant amount of money that everyone within the "sound of my voice" has seen a lot of movies in their lifetime, and probably even has some strong favourites that they'd love to rave about, given half a chance.

Still, I probably will not be posting movie reviews and such - the video rental card is dominated by my daughters and I'm not inclined to write about Hilary Duff. <BR/><BR/>If, and only if we go for something broader, what do we have in common? Probably nothing really, other than living/having lived in a small South Western Ontario city. Fitting name would be something like 'Family Compact'. Its short, memorable (and pehaps already taken ??). It also makes no difference that a London Knights or Organic food entry can sit on top of a Matt Damon picture. <BR/><BR/>To unfocused? Perhaps. <BR/><BR/>Teturner at Gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35361300.post-31744169273899223462007-08-08T23:33:00.000-04:002007-08-08T23:33:00.000-04:00So... many... options...

But (URL issues notwithstanding) I'd certainly be OK with "What She's Having" or any variation thereof.<BR/><BR/>To Peter's comments reflecting disappointment over the Blogger option... He has some good points, as always. The one that surprised me (which I probably received over e-mail, rather than as a comment here) was regarding having to post his "movie reflections" twice, once on his own blog, and once on our new one. I think I was under the impression that, other than Tammy, none of us were really <I>doing</I> much of that! In fact, part of my motivation in suggesting that we start this experiment up, was to <I>create</I> a place where we'd be more inclined to talk about movies/TV. If we were all already busy posting up a movie-storm, then I think Peter's approach of an aggregator would work well; my hope is that this new blog will, as we start using it, actually <I>promote </I> more commentary and discussion. That doesn't seem to be happening now, as far as I can see. (The fact that, as Peter says, he doesn't even have a label for "Movies" right now on his blog would seem to support this.)<BR/><BR/>And to Mike's point, <B>yes</B> I'm advocating a "just do it" approach here because I don't think we need to get it perfect right out of the gate. But maybe I'm wrong. <B>Discuss amongst yourselves...</B>Kimota94 aka Matt aka AgileManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404161474780005815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35361300.post-80525900316778541842007-08-08T20:47:00.000-04:002007-08-08T20:47:00.000-04:00Tammy: blogger.com @ my domainTangentially, I've r...Tammy: blogger.com @ my domain<BR/><BR/>Tangentially, I've reworded my exhortation to more accurately reflect what I actually mean.

The <cite> tag in particular is appropriate for marking up titles, and the <A HREF="http://microformats.org/wiki/hreview" REL="nofollow">hReview</A> microformat is designed for exactly the sort of standardized review you're referring to.
