This is not going out to anyone in particular; I, too, have offered hints to my reviews in the past.

But can we please, you know, calm the fuck down when offering hints? It reminds me of the erstwhile trend in British papers to annotate everything (eg. William Shakespeare, English Playwright, 16th/17th Century); and it's mildly annoying at best, and incredibly condescending at worst. Considering the nature of the site, I will go out on a limb, and bet that most, if not all, of us have at least a rudimentary grasp of film.

In fact, I hardly read any of the hints anymore. The reviews they link to are, most of the time, so clever that the hints just spoil the fun of figuring them out. And if I don't get what the reviews are on about, a Google search is only a toolbar away. I'm just saying...

Please follow bife's advice and just don't read them. That is far less inconvenient for you than it is for me to have to trawl through the I.M.D.B.

Hey Sal,

I have not been able to get directly to your five in the last couple of weeks, i always have to log in again or if i think of it (which rarely happens) to click in through your name on the left.

Do you know why this maybe?

It's because I'm posting .co.uk links. All you should need to have done is log into that version once.

Yeah, I always have the same problem ... and sometimes with Ali as well. What I've been doing is clicking the name, voting, then hitting the browser back button. But there's clearly some kind of coding issue ... but what?!!

Fair enough.

Though I am baffled you have to "trawl through" I.M.D.B and its admittedly labyrinthine user interface.

Once you've logged on in the co.uk site and told it to remember you, you shouldn't have any problems again.

Worked for me.

Voted for everyone and getting ready for tomorrow!

One has to read the plot summary and/or the comments and/or the cast lists and/or look up other films that the cast has been in.
