Seán Says: Welcome to Summer.
 Put any five reviews you like in your F.Y.C. list.
 Do not use reviews from the previous round - you must change them every round.
 Post here to declare that you've done it. Sooner is better than later.
 Provide a spoiler warning in your post when appropriate.
 You must read the F.Y.C.s of all participants.
 The next round starts on Monday at noon or later, FWFR time. |

Lemmy in for #1209
Cars 3—although he’s been dead for years, Paul Newman’s voice is used.
Finale of 1st Act, Hoyt's 'Milk White Flag'--Showing 34 Persons in Costume. The largest number ever shown as one subject in the Kinetoscope [IMDb].
Rachel Weisz plays Rachel. My review references the title of a 1968 film directed by Paul Newman.
No Blade of Grass—Cornel Wilde’s environmental message gets bogged down in violence.
The Only Game in Town—Liz Taylor picks up piano player Warren Beatty in Las Vegas.

| Did some lurk voting - I will pass on any round with less than three entrants. |

Thanks for the lurker votes but things are not looking good for FYCTH. Without our small group of regulars participating each week we are doomed.
Let's give it a couple more rounds to see if we can get back on track. |

Thanks (and to the other person who did the same), but please do consider entering regardless: we are fewer than three because you didn't enter. |

I'll carry on whatever, even if I am the only entrant, in the hope of lurker votes but mainly just to keep it going. The content of the F.Y.C.T.H. is the crux of the site and it would be very silly for F.W.T.O. to continue and this not. |

Lurked. Sorry, I've just been too busy lately.

You know what I mean though - three not including myself. Rockfsh's entry confuses things somewhat as he entered a round that had passed the deadline.
The lowest aim for any review I submit is 3 votes - if it doesn't get that I'd consider deleting it. It's pointless to me putting reviews forward knowing that they can't even reach that lowest personal marker. I'll just end up putting them all through FYCTH again, or deleting them. Sorry, but I'll keep on lurking if necessary. |

Yes, the entry days for this thread have really slid backwards to a bizarre degree. That's why I've started the next thread rather than wait for lemmy to this time.

Well, don't you think that's a bit arbitrary in all honesty? In the good old days I would have been horrified if any entry only got five votes; now that is a top week. Couldn't you just have three or however many as an ultimate goal for each review, rather than needing to get them from one airing here? And if you put reviews through again, that's fine. That's what I do when I have run out of recently approved ones. You should also bear in mind that if everyone applied your policy no one would enter. By not doing so, you're discouraging others.

Thanks. In all sincerity, though, I would prefer entrants to votes. Entrants are what keep these threads alive. (Also, a pet hate of mine: Why do people here always call voting without entering lurking? Lurking is reading without posting. If you post, you aren't lurking.) |
