Hold your v's for a sec!
Poxy internet access has been restricted in work, so have to do me FYC's at home now. Tsk.
Aaanyway, in this quintet, there's a homage to everyone's favourite politically-motivated cyber-warrior, and to get the comic genius behind the pink panther one, it should be read in the accent of, say, Paris Hilton, with the emphasis on the 'seau'. I'm so finished explaining these now. |

A little late, but ...
One note: One of Hitchcock's later films was entitled Frenzy.
Another note: At one point in Metropolis, the protagonist, Joh Fredersen has just learned of the plight of the underground workers, and in an ecstasy of compassion, takes over the gruelling work of an especially exhausted worker. My Metropolis fwfr is a tongue-in-cheek take on that moment.

I did think about both of those. But I felt that ' > ' if understood as a mathematical operator would make the review inaccurate, and I wanted to use the full title for both fwfr status designators. Thanks, though. 
True re " > ", but then randomly interpreting " : " as a mathematical operator (ratio of x to y) would also obscure the meaning.
It would, but since " : " is primarily a legitimate punctuation mark (as opposed to " > " which is - as far as I'm aware - solely a mathematical operator that happens to look like an arrow), any such interpretation would have to be, as you say, random.

If you want to reflect the statuses as exactly as possible, then only the "Movie"s should be capitalised.
They should, if I wanted to do that. Notwithstanding the discrepancy, I think the double-allusion of the review is a little more evident with the double-capitalisation. |

A very good point. (It can be a punctuation mark, or essentially so, in specialised circumstances, but I agree that it is not properly an arrow, except perhaps when one is directing someone which links they need to click through - that always seems to have this form rather than that of a conventional arrow.) |
