"Long mired in film"

Posted - 05/31/2010 :  12:54:20  Show Profile  Reply with Quote
Recently, Sludge PMed me with a suggestion for an improvement to one of my recent FYC reviews. I resubbed with the change and it has now been approved. I am much happier with the review.

So thank you Sludge for the suggestion. I am not pimping the review here. The link is to Sludge's reviews. Why not take a minute or two and check them out.

I'm almost speechless.

My suggestion was definitely what Lemmy was driving at. Review here (I have a pimping license).

I can't really explain where the line is drawn across which 'inspiration' becomes outright theft, but as a judge once said about obscenity in film, I know it when I see it. If it's an idea clearly aimed at in the original review, I try to get a message out to the idea's originator to see if they think it helps the idea along. As ten or so voters will recall from the last round, Lemmy's original already had everything that's in the linked review before it was updated.

Of course, sending these messages can go either way, so I hope I haven't insulted anyone else by suggesting tweaks.

Votes are undeserved and unnecessary, but thanks Lemmy!

Kudos to you sludge, not everyone steers so fairly to the right side of the 'inspiration dividing line'
