    I suspect maybe he went a little too far with the old Brownlee thanking

    Well, better to have Brownlee inside the tent pissing out....

    so select committee scrutiny or public submissions, of course

    Miss a "no", Craig?

    @ Petra: There were quite a few people who could be called "insiders" who were surmising. I think that's quite dangerous. (Found myself on several occasions writing what I "thought" was going on, and had to delete same. Just my opinion, after all, and until I got all the facts - and even now, I suspect there are many pivotal things that are not common knowledge - I would prefer to keep my own council, even though steam kept escaping out of my ears with rage!!:))

    There are things one hears, and they may be true, but will it help to make those things public? It may scratch an itch to shout them out, but the itch will return......ooeerr, someone stop me, PULLLEEEASSE!!

    Oh yes indeed - why the urgency? Hear, hear, Matthew.

    I also find Mr Brownlee's "shameful as far as the film industry is concerned" total crap.

    Oh, hey, hi Jan!!! (You are the same Jan I worked with at RNZ? All those years ago?)

    Yes, I'll have another go at linking another day. I just found Jam Hipkins a bit of fun this morning, amongst all this angst.

  • Hard News: A few (more) words on The Hobbit,

    if they watch Russell's blog and read the comments from people "in the know", why do they still continue to lie and spin wrt this [Hobbit] story?

    I think one might have had more than a few moments of total confusion reading all the commenters. "In the know"? A bit hard to ascertain. People with opinions, yes. People with strong opinions, yes indeed. People talking about things they thought might be the case? Oh yes. Things they heard from someone else? Yup.

    But thankfully, sane voices - Peter Cox for one - wanting to wait for confirmation about things. I'm not surprised there was the threat of physical violence, nor vile threats made. Even on this normally friendly, tolerant site, things got rather heated, and it seemed to me that shooting off at the mouth before engaging brain happened a little too often for my taste.

    I'm flabbergasted (isn't that a splendid word?) that RB and GT should be singled out by other sites, though. However, it's more of the same really, isn't it? All heat and no light.

    @ Heather W. Thanks for that, Heather. Even with brand new glasses, I couldn't tell that those were both square brackets. Sigh.

    Blow these tiny laptop screens.
