Jen: I like this idea.  It's hard to separate the two when you want to 
talk comparison/contrast.  Plus there can be casual talk on OTC for the 
fun stuff, like who was casted, 'can you believe they cut this out?!' 
etc.  

We could use 'Movie' in the header on main; isn't that how it was 
handled prior to a separate list?  Eggplant has a point that everything 
is starting to blend together when it comes to talking about HP because 
there's not all the theorizing.  I picture the lists collapsing down as 
time goes by, more like when hpfgu started.  It's fun to read the back 
posts when everything was mixed up.  I'm sure dividing the lists 
ordered the chaos when there were thousands of posts every month.  
Chaos can be fun though, yes?
