  - [deleted] 4
    - I will put money on WALL*E not getting into the BP race. - secretslacker Dec 17, 06:58 3
      - It totally deserves it *and* is getting the wins and mentions in nearly all of the lists/critic awards I've seen. -- nm - TFox Dec 17, 07:00 2
        
        It's only received two critic BP wins... L.A. and Boston (tied with Slumdog) - secretslacker Dec 17, 07:01 1
        
        That's a rather silly statement. (the foreign film category is just the same, and yet people have no problem with foreign films occasionally getting - Don Homer Dec 17, 07:06

So skimming the backboards, TWuG and colin left? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 17, 06:43 42
- I don't think TWuG did (and I sure hope not). I definitely don't share the opinion that he's an a-hole. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 17, 06:45 3
  - I don't understand why the spoiler thing was elevated like it was. it feels to me like it was escalated just for the sake of being bitchy. -- nm - candy canes love mandy lane Dec 17, 06:47 2
    - Didn't *you* just tell *me* to "let it go"? -- nm - secretslacker Dec 17, 06:48 1

- I don't think TWuG left. -- nm - loosilu Dec 17, 06:44 24
  - did colin leave over the spoiler bitchiness? or something else? -- nm - candy canes love mandy lane Dec 17, 06:45 23

        well obviously. -- nm - TFox Dec 17, 06:54
      - he specifically said he didn't, so I think you should forget it. -- nm - loosilu Dec 17, 06:48 7
        
        well, he said he didn't, but then blasted the rest of you for allowing me to exist, in so many words. - TFox Dec 17, 06:52 6
        
        Ok....screw you buddy. I'm leaving too! nm - Jim Dec 17, 06:53 4
        
        Well, if Jim's leaving.... - secretslacker Dec 17, 06:56
        
        But since when has your IM ever stopped ya before? - Will Hunting Dec 17, 06:54 2

        What's sad is we actually think he's an improvement over what we trotted out there last year. - Will Hunting Dec 17, 06:57

    - he left after a minor tiff with x and TFox about a week ago. it was weird. -- nm - loosilu Dec 17, 06:46
- I actually hadn't caught that TWuG left over that whole thing. - TFox Dec 17, 06:44 11
  - No, I don't think he did. -- nm - secretslacker Dec 17, 06:47
  - I missed that. I figured colin was just working a lot. :( -- nm - JaxSean Dec 17, 06:45 1
    - he posted on FB 7 minutes ago. -- nm - loosilu Dec 17, 06:47
  - I think he was sitting out the shit storm. -- nm - loosilu Dec 17, 06:45 7
    - Yep - I really doubt he'd have left over that. Everyone said their opinion, but it was a polite enough discussion. - Roger More Dec 17, 06:49 6
      - well, I totally disagree t hat it was polite, but I admire him for staying out of it after. -- nm - loosilu Dec 17, 06:50 5
        
        hang on, which one are you talking about? the evening discussion or the morning one? -- nm - Roger More Dec 17, 06:52 4
