C'mon everybody! Get over to the Audience Awards and vote! It's a two-horse race now between Fighting in Plain Sight and Yours Truly, and Yours Truly is out in front. I'm sure it was made by nice people who are kind to children and small animals, but let me just say that it's not a patch on Fighting in Plain Sight and leave it at that.
Vote early! Vote often! The entire future of the internet is at stake!
Really neat little tool! A quick question just in case I'm missing something obvious. Can you scroll within the pop-up window? Whether it's my monitor or my failing eyesight or what, at the size I have the forum text at, the entire pop-up doesn't display. (Alternatively, I assume there's no (easy) way to have the text in the pop-up be a different size from the main page text?)
I'm already imagining the fun I'll have selecting random bits of text from people's posts and seeing what the movie is (if any) that has that as a title.
This one just came into my head the other day, from the first NuWho episode:
Rose Tyler: If you're an alien, how come you sound like you're from the North?
The Doctor: Lots of planets have a North!
Christopher Eccleston has a strong Manchester accent, and it's a nice little indirect callback to the fact that, up until relatively recently in the grand scheme of things, if you wanted to work as an actor in the UK you had to lose your regional accent. Many people who you think of as having very typically plummy Received Pronunciation British accents didn't grow up speaking that way. Tom Baker, for example, is from Liverpool and Patrick Stewart is from Yorkshire. (And actually the Sixth Doctor, Colin Baker, was also from Manchester.)
Happy to help out however I can, assuming I can even get the basics figured out. I assume that once I get a Google+ account it'll be magically obvious what to do? ('Fraid I have basically zero experience with social network sites. Being basically an anti-social bastard with no interest in networking, I never felt the need
That plus a diffuse philosophical objection to handing over shedloads of personal information to be monetized by a for-profit company.)
As far as prizes go, I always thought that a poster version of the schedule graphic that Teague did would be really nice. (I'd happily buy one as a way of raising extra money.) And it must be easy in this day and age to just take whatever the image file is and make posters, assuming the resolution is OK.
