You got it Ali. I've been out of the UK long enough that I've never heard "T4" as a TV station or as part of Channel 4.
Yeah, of course I realised that it was alluding to T2 (it wouldn't be a valid review otherwise), but it's only a particularly good review by also being a pun. I guess it's still good even if that was accidental.

Sal - maybe that should be your next "fwfr reviewers challenge"
Nope, I'm saving that one, since it was the inspiration for the whole thing. |

I had "A" rejected for 'Scarlett Letter' 3 or 4 years ago, I put it back in 3 times with differeing explanations, the most convincing of which I thought was that the letter 'A' was a crucial part of the story, and my 'A' was also a rating of the film (i.e. excellent), but all to no avail. It was proabably the only time I've broken the 'two submissions' rule, I wanted it that badly. I actually agree with it being declined, and deep down I knew when I submitted it that it had no chance, but I SO wanted it! I have a couple of other two characted reviews, but it is, apparently, impossible to sum up a film in just one letter 
How interesting! I've been after the same holy grail, and actually submitted the same review for the same film, also arguing that it was both Hester's letter and my rating. Great minds!
I also tried 'Z' for HOW TO SLEEP. No go. One day we'll get there, mate. |

| I just tried "!" as a variant of my "Relationship = !" for The Dot and the Line. (It is actually just about a dot and a line, so it's not title-play only, and it's rather surprising for a dot and a line to fall in love, hence it's also a comment on the film in a similar way to the previous two examples.) However, it turns out that I had submitted it previously and so it did not 'take'. |

| There are loads of Coming to America reviews playing on Queens, but I have just noticed that the original one did not have any votes. I wonder how all the later reviewers did not see it. |
