The Smithee Awards Blog

Greetings Smitheeites! This past weekend the Ann Arbor Smithee contingent held the Smithee Primaries (or Mini-Smithees if you prefer, I use them interchangeably when I write about them) at The University of Michigan's UCon. Around 29 of you showed up to vote and one of you showed up because that's where the stroller went. I think the adorable baby sorcycat is our youngest audience member yet if he is younger than three months old. Which he may be. If not, then he's the youngest Mini-Smithee attendee. He was a really well behaved attendee too, except when I stole his dragon. Note to self: Do not take the baby's dragon.

But the lot of you who were at the U-Con Mini-Smithees would have probably been better off finding one in the bottom of your stocking rather than having to watch the Mini-Smithees. Coal at least is functional and can keep you warm. The Smithees can...ummm...well...they are really good at sucking about 4 hours of your life. In any event, ( under the clicky is all the U-con Smithee Primary Goodness )

Again, thanks to you brave souls who showed up. You've educated us on the importance of a good 'Let's Split Up" and have reaffirmed our belief in the awesomeness of numbers counting up or down erratically. The next show will be the Smithees at Smith near the end of March and we're still shooting for April 19th for the Ann Arbor show. And of course, the Smithee Season ender at Origins but that's in June and quite a ways away.

Chupa!

Hello fellow Smithee fans! Just wanted to give a big shout out to those 30 or so of you who helped hone the Ann Arbor ballot. You Extra Hard Core Smithee fans wrock because the primaries (as we like to call them) are a rough thing to soldier through. There can be (and usually are) more than 5 clips to watch per category as the Mini-Smithees are all the clips from all the movies The Guru and the Earl/Iron Chef Smithee have watched over the year leading up to the U-Con show. That means y'all have to sit through some good clips, some bad clips and some clips that haven't been edited down to the razor keen timing seen in the big shows. To you brave 30, bravo!
