Yes, there are so many things that would have been ten times greater with mummies.

-Godfather III lacks the depth of its predecessors, but then suddenly there's a mummy, and it all becomes awesome!
-Watching the news about missing children is depressing, but then suddenly there's a mummy, and it all becomes awesome!
-Grandpa is killed by heart complications, but suddenly he's resurrected as a mummy, and it all becomes awesome!

I have to say this movie looked a little stupid to me when I saw the previews. First we meet Elvis, and he's old and talking to a man who thinks he was dyed black. Then all of the sudden, there comes a mummy, and I am confused.

12 Votes to Publish (Sift Talk Post)

I agree with PM, I don't particularly like the idea of anonymizing the queue. Sure, there is the possibility of a voting block, but let's also consider the possibility that higher-level members are at that rank due to their taste in sifts and their amount of time spent sifting, not merely because they're pseudo-famous. Also the fact that it is enjoyable to be able to pick out other peoples' sifts and make personalized comments.

Also, as Raven and WildmanBill have pointed out, I have a raging clue for the queue progression. Something needs to be done about the visibility of queue videos, because it's ridiculous. I can categorize all videos as one of two types of sifts: the Daphne and the Velma.

You see, the Daphne is the quick-riser, the one that gets huge amounts of initial attention and gets published within the first few hours because it's quick, easy, and a looker to boot. (Cute sifts, I'm looking at YOU). But it's sometimes harder to sustain conversation with the Daphne, because often (but nowhere near always) it's a bit of a ditz. The Velma, on the other hand, tends to be overlooked in the initial phase, and it takes a while to come into the spotlight in its own right. For some reason, the slightly bookish, thick-glasses-type sifts fit this category. (Documentaries, especially, have this effect.) Sure, it may get some votes initially, but it takes time for enough people to notice it, and realize it's smart AND sexy, so it takes the full four days and its appearance on the soon-to-be-discarded list to get voted to the top, and sometimes even that won't be enough to promote it, and that's dangerous, because without Velma's priceless intellect, sleuthing skills, and constant supply of doggie treats, how will Scooby and the Gang ever manage to crack the mystery of the Egyptian Mummy and save their professors from the mummy's stone curse?

...wait, what? Crap, I forgot what I was talking about.

Anyways, all this talking about Daphne and Velma has given me another big, stiff clue for queue visibility. I think randomized videos should be added mandatorily to the queue list. For example, underneath each time-placed video, you could include one small-sized video randomly from the queue list. It's probably a bad idea, but seriously, this whole deal of letting sifts sit on their butts after page 3 until they're just about to be discarded is annoying and will become even more so as it becomes harder to get a sift published if the escape number is raised to 12, and the only way I can see this being dealt with is by raising middle-page visibility so queued videos can be seen and voted on as they pass through each page of the queue, and the only way I can see that happening is by creating some sort of randomized display of videos to accompany videos in chronological order.

Original 60's George of the Jungle!

The live-action movie represents the peak of Brendan Fraser's career. Well more of a plateau continuing the awesome success of Encino Man. Too bad he went and made the Mummy movies to screw up such a promising acting talent.
