Temporary Log-In Solution? • If you are having trouble logging in to your Official Videogum Commenter Profile, try clearing your cache and cookies. That seems to work sometimes.
Important News For Videogum Commenters • As a temporary fix to an on-going bug, you can now type:
You guys, I know that the commenter log-in system is a mess. Sorry. We are working on it. Until then, commenter Becca seems to have discovered a temporary solution:
try this. sign out. then sign in - NOT AT THE TOP - but at the bottom where you leave a comment. and then when you comment, put in your name and email, even though you're signed in. IT WORKS!
Hopefully that should work for now, and hopefully everything will be back to normal soon. Fingers crozzed. Thanks, Becca.
(UPDATE: Maybe not so much.)

Dear Black Entertainment Television,
First let me say how excited I am to have received your "Cease and Desist" letter. It is the first letter of this nature that I have ever received, and as such it legitimizes me. What your letter says is that someone thinks that this bullshit is read by enough people (it is not), and that it matters (it doesn't). Someone thinks that I have violated their rights! Success! A "Cease and Desist" letter is like a blog's Bar Mitzvah. Now videogum.com is a man.com. It would have been nicer if I could have received the letter right before Mother's Day, to fill our brunch with pride, but a Father's Day miracle isn't bad. Anyway, thank you for that.
Now, I'm no lawyer, but I've watched every iteration of Law & Order at least once, except for Trial By Jury, but no one watched Trial By Jury.

Uh. OK. Well, first let's address what this movie did well, like the disappointed parents we are (or at least that I am), recognizing that the negative feedback won't be useful or constructive if it isn't preceded by something positive....
