Thanks Mag

Just wondering where we've got to here? The Peer Review thread is longer than the Entry, which shows people are interested in this subject. Any chance this could be made ready for selection please hoovooloo?

Many thanks

I'd question putting Patrick Macgoonan in the stars list ... given he wasn't actually in it


Also echoing that it needs to be made clear in the title what series it is. I saw the title and Patrick's name then wondered what Jim Carvezile : Renagade Weezle was doing in the entry

I've not got around to watching this yet (to be honest, I completely forgot and 'lost' it)

I will watch it this week.

Something about the opening section has been bugging me, so I went to check up a few dates. Alice and Inception were both released in 2010. The first Mission: Impossible film was in 1996. All of which are outside the time frame if the first sentence.

Okay, you could claim sequels for M:I, and that the other two must have been in development during the decade, but it just feels wrong.

Fair enough. I was trying to replicate the phrasing and example-led opening of the original entry. And MI:2 - the maskiest, identity-flippiest MI film - was definitely in 2000. I've pulled Alice and substituted an earlier Tim Burton/Johnny Depp reimagining.

I'll probably get the time to pull this into GuideML some time later in the week and I can put some links in to relevant other entries...

Hoovooloo - if it's the GuideML that is putting you off - please don't worry about converting it. To be honest it hardly takes long for a sub to do that part - but it would take longer for them to fact check things on your behalf.

Are there any outstanding issues that need sorting out? Any missing facts or amendments please.

Otherwise it seems a pity to keep this hanging around getting all dusty.

Yoo hoo Hoo

*bump*


Hoo, you said you were going to add more links.

Are you ready for this to go?

It looks as if Hoo may be on holiday. If we don't have some response we need to decide the fate of this Entry somehow.

I did actually get round to watching this.

It wasn't as good as the original, but still had plenty to recommend it. It would be a shame to let this one gather dust.

Hi Hoovooloo

We've decided to send this back to you, in the hopes that you can finish it a bit more for us please, in line with the comments here. We'd like to see this in the Guide eventually though, so please send it back to us in PR when you have time to make the final edits and we'll look at selecting it.


best wishes
