I wonder if any of you fellow fwfrs could explain to me why (oh why oh why) this review did not get past the MERPS.
Film: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Review: Voldemort occupieS QUIRREL'S NUT
Is it because there's no squirrel in the film, because I for one (ahem...not to blow my own trumpet, but...wets lips and presses them to brass) thought it was an absolute fuckin' gem.
I mean, Voldemort does occupy Quirrel's head, doesn't he? So it IS factually accurate. And there's no way this can be generic, so...is it just because it's a bit silly?
I wouldn't bother any of you normally, but, well...the samaritans were engaged, so...

In Canada's I've never heard of nut as a term for somebody's head.
Knowing that, I think it's a good pun but I could see why a non-English MERP would turn it down. |

You're absolutely right - that should read 'Philosopher's Stone' = have just changed it! |

Could be that 'nut' is a coloquilism used only the UK, or at least not in the country the MERP looking at your review hails from.
Also, I'm not sure it's justified upper-casifying the end bit. Sure- it makes the phrase 'squirrel's nut', but I'm confused as to what relevance that has to the film If there's none, then it shouldn't be made bold like this. |

Er .... no. Looks fine to me
Most likely explanation is that the MERP just plain didn't understand it |
