I spoke too soon! My review for Shrek 3, which was in current FYC and had lotsa votes was deleted. dunno why, it is a good review - not ogre yet, also rhymes with "not over yet." I am demoted and now need to wait for my mogul status again. It'd hv been great if there was a post saying why it is to be deleted. Or may be we shdn't list films till they are released.

Sorry- that was me. I felt it was too generic since, in the most general sense, it could apply to any ogre film, but more relevantly it could apply to any Shrek film. And if someone were to argue it could only apply to a Shrek sequel, then you still have to ask why Shrek 3 and not Shrek 2 or 4? |

Firm but fair, Benj! I'm sure Aahaa will rally with another gem soon.

Hi Benj, thanks for your explanation. Originally Shrek 3 was supposed to be a prequel, now it is not. Shrek 4 would be that prequel according to the news reports. In such a case, "not ogre yet?", "Shrek, not ogre yet?" and "Shrek, not ogre yet" would all be acceptable. However, the problem is that someone else may fill in that review before I do so! Also, it was sad to see the plug being pulled from one which was getting reasonable no. of votes. There probably needs to be a deadline as to when an accepted review can be declined. Consider the hypothetical case when Shrek2 alone was announced and I'd hv submitted the same review for that. Later, Shrek3 is announced and then my review wd become generic. It would create lot of problems for several reviews at a later date - so, probly it is best to leave once accepted reviews as they are; just my 2 cents. And thanks a lot for your prompt response - I understand your reasoning but not yet appreciate it! 
Addendum: And also thanks for approving one of my pending reviews to make me a mogul again! That was a nice gesture! Now the only thing I need to do is to learn to unlock the secret formula (bonus for the level) which I somehow don't seem to figure out!! |

Yeah, we've been round and round about reviewing movies long before anyone's seen 'em. It can get mighty strange: check out foxy's matching pair here -- one of 'em's gotta go, but not until we know whether John Cleese appears. And they both even have votes!
Thing is, as soon as new films put up on IMDB, some enterprising fwiffer's going to add to to our database. Just one more aspect of our inexact science. |
