Bottom line, there is no right/wrong answer in the debate. I respect Randall's view that a review should stand on its own. He's a better man than me. I'm a vote whore who likes seeing the tally pile up to prove that I have written a good review.
Not a better man, just a different man. I likes me my votes too, and I had a tough time once with a movie called Spit. I wrote one review, then -- remember how I said I often have second thoughts? -- realized I could top it with a slight little tweak. It bothered me so much that I disowned my original review, even though I had to give up several votes to do it.
This is why you see two very similar reviews on the page. Both were written by me, but one's credited to Alan Smithee. I'm content now that I won't go through life regretting not having made the change , and I also got the happy experience of being able to vote on my own review! |

All done.
Zulu got 4/5 from me. Ace.
Whipper's "base ball players" for Eight Men Out is one of those deceptively simple, and brilliant reviews. Bravo!
As for hints and notes, as you know I regularly do it in case the voter doesn't know the film in question and might appreciate my work if they know a little more. I really don't mind if they aren't used, but as Yukon said even a single extra vote is appreciated. Actually he said he was a vote whore. But that's two ways of saying the same thing.  Of course, if I think the review is obvious or for a very well known film I don't bother. I'd far rather not have to explain my carefully constructed quads of joy.  |

Editor's Note: With 5 reviews per round, wouldn't that make them "quints of joy"?

I often do this too, but I find it quite a hassle and would rather the review had just been explained to me. |
