THE WARRIOR'S CODE
As with most warriors, we follow certain codes of conduct. While we want to foster open and intelligent discussion and debate, we also feel that it is necessary to set forth certain ground rules that will be vital to the mission at hand. When speaking in comments:
1. Be adults. We love passionate debate, however respect the opinions of others.
2. No flaming or personal attacks.
3. Refrain from distasteful statements that are of offense to race, gender, sex, age, religion, etc.
4. Refrain from engaging in political or religious discourse. These comments should only occur when they directly pertain to the discussion at hand, and should never degenerate into attacks. Remember, we are all adults with a wide spectrum of beliefs. These comments should be made elsewhere (such as your own personal site).
5. We believe in a self policing environment, however we do reserve the right to remove comments (and / or posts) we deem in violation of aforementioned general rules. (And we'll do it TOO!!)

UNIT CITATIONS
As Film Warriors, we believe that filmmaking is not just an adventure, it's a job. We also generally don't believe in a "One to Four" or "One to Five" rating system. We do, however, see the need to go with a generally recognized format for clarity. Therefore, we will be working from a "Zero to Four Performance Review" scale.
4 = Medal Of Honor
3 = Combat Readiness Medal
2 = Average Participation (No Citation Awarded)
1 = Summary Court Martial
0 = General Court MartialWe believe that hard work, creativity, good storytelling, and technical achievements are the hallmarks of filmmaking legends. It is these legends that we 'quest to find' and reward with our highest honor. Films deemed legendary (those receiving the 4's) will receive a special audio commentary (upon DVD / Blu-Ray release) in which the various commendable efforts are recognized.
Average work deserves no reward or punishment. Thus is rated as a 2. You did your job, congratulations, you made a movie.
The most shameful of the lot receives special punishment. This will also be known as the 'General Court Martial'. These films (receiving 0's) are given the humiliation of a special audio commentary (also upon DVD / Blu-Ray release). In this audio commentary, the various offenses shall be laid out to make the case against the filmmakers and anyone else deemed responsible for such atrocities.
SOILED RESTROOM CINEMA RATINGS
One Flusher = Tainted Cheese. It looked good on the platter, but that platter has been sitting out in room temperature for four hours, placed there by a caterer who didn’t wash his hands when he assembled it. Enjoy!
Two Flusher = Mexican Revolt. You love your Taco Bell, but your system sure doesn’t. Hopefully you live alone and aren’t slowly poisoning your children to the point where a HAZMAT team has to intercede.
Three Flusher = Montezuma House Call. That trip to Brazil was great, but you were too cheap to pony up for bottled water. Too bad. Now you know what taking a constant leak from your crack hole feels like.
Four Flusher = There She Blows! You’ve always heard about a colon rupture, now you know what one feels like. You check the bowl for a crying child, because you swear to God you just gave birth.
WAR STORIES DISCLAIMER

Background information about the films we comment on are culled from a variety of internet resources. We are not experts in the field, but merely Film Warriors who have logged many hours in front of the silver screen. If some of the information we present turns out to be inaccurate, we'll simply blame some poor faceless son of a bitch and move on.
