Hi everyone,
Yeah, I'm still doing the rounds in this shiny uniform. Look: I've
even put my hair in a beehive, all special, like...
****ALL MOVIE DISCUSSIONS GO TO OUR NEW MOVIE LIST
All Saint's Day (that's the 1st November) is the official launch date
for our new offshoot list for discussion of the Harry Potter movie.
Depending on your time zone, we're there or almost there, so please
move ALL your movie messages to:-
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-Movie
...or get there via the floo network from this lovely log-cabin
fireplace that John set up:
www.hpfgu.org.uk/movie
****A FEW POINTS TO CONSIDER
1. Tabouli was right to point out that the release dates for the
first film are staggered, with some countries not launching until
well into 2002, incidentally. That was another factor that had to be
considered in deciding where to discuss it. It seemed easier to
avoid an entire list than to worry about whether someone would
inadvertently spoil in a post to the main list.
2. You may wish to join HPFGU-Movie ahead of time and set yourself
to "Only special announcements" (same as webview/"no emails" but you
get important ADMIN messages as e-mails) until you have had a chance
to see the film; or to Digests, which you can attempt to leave
unopened in your in-box. If you join and set yourself to receive
individual emails, please bear in mind that every message posted
there will have the potential to spoil.
3. We're asking posters to the new movie list to continue using
spoilers on anything that might spoil the film for others, *up to and
including the day of 16th November*. After 16th November, we'll
assume that anyone taking part in discussions on that list is
discussing a film they have already seen and that spoiler space is
not, therefore, necessary.
4. The ADMIN files that apply to this list also apply on the movie
list.
5. If you post movie-related stuff to OT Chatter or Announcements
after 16th November, please use spoiler space when appropriate.
"HPFGU-Movie is a non-smoking list. Please extinguish all smoking
materials. Yes sir, that does include your beard!"
Thanks!
Neil
