Salopian, maybe people would be more apt to make considerations for you if you didn't act like a petulant three year old when your 'requests' aren't met immediately. I use the term requests lightly because you don't request, you demand. I'm going to make a demand now- I demand that you do not treat my personal friend Josh with rudeness or attitude. He means a great deal to me and he is trying to meet your requests, so leave the attitude at the door and try being grateful that anyone cares enough to listen when you stomp your foot, scream, throw a tantrum and 'request' something...

Right, I'm ditching Bestiality and putting up a new review for How The Make Adult Movies.

And I will resubmit for "Everything you always wanted to know...."
Yukon, I just thought I might mention that foxy wasn't picking on your review. That movie has come up in the past for having incorrect reviews that were subsequently declined, (I think it was before your time), so foxy was just letting you know that your review's days were numbered, i.e., it was just a matter of time before benj saw it, or someone pointed it out for deletion in the "Reviews that are wrong" thread. So it's probably best for all if it's nipped in the bud early, i.e, before it got too many votes. Incidentally there are a couple of other movies on the site that have been 'cleaned out' in the past (i.e., had incorrect reviews removed) more than once, e.g., stuff like Naked in New York, Naked Assassins, Naked Fairy Tales etc.

Re: which page you get your FYC entry on, I've always thought there should probably be a summary page made up by the FYC organiser (as with FWTOs) of everyone who's entered and a link to their page. This way, everyone knows when they need to start voting (and when it's likely too late to enter) and you also don't need to read the whole thread to go find all FYCs to vote on.

(Apologies if this has been suggested already, it just seems like the obvious solution (to me at least )

No offence was taken. I don't mind being told if my review is wrong. (I never actually saw the Bestiality. I confess my review was title play!)

Sadly, I'm disappointed that my replacement review didn't get more votes: How They Make Adult Movies "Insert dick in Jane"

However if you liked it, feel free to give it a vote and reward a guy for trying to keep this site pure and accurate:
http://www.fwfr.com/display.asp?sort=2&id=14735&Mode=&Rows=100&Start=1&do=

I think that "Insert dick in Jane" missed the first wave of voters.
Which is why, Salopian, I agreee with the other folks.
I wouldn't mind waiting, if you actually gave us a reason. I like to get my reviews in early, that way they get the most exposure. I think many people feel this way.
I don't think its a "tiny" favour to have everyone sit around and wait for you.

Yep, it's been done like this in the past, but not for quite a while. It just comes down to whether someone wants to bother doing it or not. I already waste productively spend enough time at fwfr, e.g., FWPT without adding more fwfr-related things to my list. But, if someone wanted to do it that would be useful. Taking random turns perhaps?

I tend to skim the thread anyway, and just look for links in posts, when I see a link I presume that it is the first post by someone in the thread and that they are therefore an entrant, then I click and vote. I tend to not bother reading review-descriptions in posts though, which is why I don't put them in myself, although I'll read someone's comments on others's reviews though.

P.S. Yukon, you already got 5/5 from me so can't help, sorry.

The other way to go, Salopian, to get lots of votes is to wait till late Friday. There's little competition and if they are good enough to be voted on, you'll get in the top 20 with about 4 votes. That will virtually guarentee you stay on the top 20 for the rest of the weekend and even well into Monday. Of course, the reviews have to be good enough to get those first four votes.

By contrast, publishing even on the first page on Monday is tough slogging. Even 6 or 7 votes won't get you in the top 20, and your review will have heavier traffic to compete against. On average, the highest voted review of the week is the one that tops the chart Tuesday morning.

Koli, for Kong, I didn't vote for
"Gorilla beau, Ann Darrow."
because I had done
"Beau Ann Darrow"

I am newly appreciative of Foxboy's "Broke Ann Darrow" as well, but it looks like I had the earliest Darrow/arrow pun with

Kong, cupid An(n )Darrow.

Not too late to vote for it, really. :-)

Yep, I remember when some kind soul kept the current FYC list, with links, active. Yet you still had to go to the last page in the thread, to make sure there weren't any last-minute entries.

I don't post or read review explanations, simply because accepted reviews have to live here on the site without them. [I've broken that rule only once.] If I don't "get it," I don't vote. So some of you may have lost votes over my lack of erudition...

A quintet surely worthy of more than a vote apiece. And two are Incredible!

FYI: Stroheim's Greed features a dentist.

Please take this assurance that I VOTE for everyone here, tho possibly not for every film - but definintely for the ones I like/love/adore

Do you? Then this is the place for you. Go now!

Don't be so melodramatic. It was a request, and all I said to Josh when he turned it down was "Thanks for nothing", which was perfectly apt. One has to wonder why he thinks that one needs to be on the first page; each of us can only know whether one person has been through all of the pages or not; I know that I always have.
