Odds and Ends - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

***Mister Underhill*** · 10-14-2005, 02:39 PM

I expect that alatar and The Saucepan Man, as leaders of this project, will do everything they can to keep the discussions civil and thoughtful. alatar, as I take it, has been known to be critical of the films, while SPM has been one of their staunchest defenders, so I think we have a good balance there. I think the only rule we really need is to let the moderators do the moderating.

Oh, and have fun, that's rule number two.

Sorry, but thought that I covered many of the concerns in the 'Welcome!' thread, especially those of Essex. I'll remember to ask "why" a lot.

And unless others disagree, I think that the staggered start would be okay, allowing people to catch up and post after the weekend before the next thread starts. Plus it gives me a few more days with which to work

.

Anyway, if this comng Wednesday is okay, I'll be ready to launch then.

And me "critical" of the films? Naah! I'm just a skeptic and a cynic, and mostly jealous that I wasn't cast in any of the leading roles ("What? You need acting experience and talent? But I've read the books a thousand times...doesn't that count for anything!?!").

Looking forward to the discussion.

And note, as related elsewhere, a long long time ago I wrote a LOTR movie script that was complete blasphemy, and so I see this work as part of my penance...

Not sure if we'll be getting a "Suggestions and Feedback" thread - do we need one? - but just note that I would appreciate any feedback, especially if there's something in which I could be doing better.

I've had my feelings surgically removed, so let me know what y'all really think.

Thanks. - alatar

Sounds like a good idea. I'll start one and make it Sticky.

Not sure if this belongs here, but I just can't believe that via this forum (1) I've been found in agreement with The Saucepan Man in regards to the movies and (2) whereas I've actually been defending the movies, Essex has taken over my former role of pointing out the holes.

To have lived to see this!

I'm loving it. - alatar
