Just don't watch it, nobody's holding a gun to your head (go watch it, because it was shot in Melbourne).

Congratulations! Home birth sounds a little unnerving, but it looks like everything went well.

Your footage wouldn't load or play, Jim. Check a couple of pages back when this restarted - asked you to re-upload.

As cupcakes?

I think cheap means crap pretty much everywhere, could you do the 8 HP themed dishes while still looking at producing healthy stuff for each movie? There's a whole series in eating well for less (with a family, training, or physical activity in mind).

My idea would be to get as much ready now as is reasonable, so that on broadcast day you have stuff ready to go as energy and creativity levels flag. Towards the end of the programming you're going to want good, fresh-faced content for drop-ins. Some ideas of pre-recorded stuff that is relatively easy for you guys to wax lyrical, and might be of interest to new listeners / viewers:

  • Cooking with Eddie

  • Pre-recorded recap of the previous film, or "previously on FiyH" segments

  • Short panellist interviews, giving background on who they are and what they've done

  • Story 101 segments with Mike, giving insight on script problems

  • Directing 101 with Trey

  • Teague or Eddie's rough guide to editing

  • Brian on the Harry Potter fan fiction he's always banging on about

  • Etc.

Basically I'm thinking about segments you can use to avoid dead spots towards the end. With credits there's about 19 and a half hours of Potter, that leaves 5 hours to fill while people take bio breaks etc.

Will there be an option to add lower third titles to the video feed? I'm thinking about how you plan and schedule the 24 hours, and how drop-ins will know where you're up to, what's next, etc.

Will Eddie be doing HP themed cooking? A couple of 10 minute cooking segments would give you some good filler content. Make the recipe available on the HP microsite, etc.

Could a "depose Zarban the despot" website also be a sponsor? I'm asking for a friend.

No getting creepy about Hermione Granger until Deathly Hallows, Trey.

I think a conversation about religion in movies would really benefit from people who are actively religious (and respectful of those who aren't) being involved. The alternative is akin to a group of gents discussing issues which relate specifically to women. We can look in and empathise, but it's commentary one or two steps removed.

Eddie is my people.

I really enjoy a Knight's Tale.

Can I just confirm this will be a kidney stone-free event? I don't even want to think about the wand motion for dick rocks. "Penis petram!"

(in hindsight, that would be the completely wrong spell which would turn someone's doodle to stone. Amusing, but incorrect)

(I've thought of a new drinking game. Take a shot for each incorrect Latin construct for spells fielded from the audience (this would quickly ruin the commentary))

Does your gear support Audio in, say from Skype? I'm looking at you, Vayda.

Team Slytherin, represent.

YOU WASH YOUR WHORE MOUTH!

*ahem* I mean, really? Could you provide more detail?

... Would someone please be so kind as to direct me to the Piggly Wiggly? >_>

Differing opinion is good, but delivery is important.

If someone hates a widely-loved film to the point that the commentary is disrupted by the bashing of pots and pans, and chucking pieces of their train set, that's not entirely constructive. It got to the stage where you couldn't talk about what's considered to be a classic film over the raucous laughter about eyebrows.

I completely get not enjoying the film, but give me constructive criticism that challenges my point of view.

I just love that Eddie has to defend Hitchcock from Trey and Brian. Maybe if it had more jump cuts, and some explosions it would be ok?
