• AICN script review. We'll see how the final product compares. Alientraveller (talk) 22:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

  That's not a script review, it's a description of the plot with the idiot 'reviewer' whining about it without (barring one instance) actually saying why it's so objectionable. Steve ^{T • C} 22:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

  To clarify these somewhat harsh words, if "Uncapie" is someone you would happily cite in another film's critical reception section (if other reviews from more notable critics were unavailable, perhaps), then I haven't a major problem with it being used. My recommendation is that it isn't (how did you guess‽), but you've been doing this longer than I have and I trust your judgement. All the best, Steve ^{T • C} 08:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

  I would not cite his opinion, but what I mean is what we have here is someone with a copy of an early script. So if classic Gort is still in the movie, we can detail "early scripts replaced him with an energy ball and a four-legged machine". Alientraveller (talk) 09:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

  Ahhhhh. Of course. I didn't even consider that usage. Consider me suitably embarrassed at my ranty behaviour. Steve ^{T • C} 09:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
