That's not your review any more.
sorted thanks. |

I've got a quad that also matches the movie. It's for V For Vendetta.
It's additionally a propos, because in the original comics, all the chapters were words starting with V.
V For Vendetta inspired several of us
I wrote a bunch of reviews immediately after seeing it, over half of which are alliterative  
I was going to provide links to all of my alliterative reviews, but I just checked and there's 245 of them. Plus a few pending.

All words starting with the same sound I call phonetic alliteration, and the matched pairs I refer to as a half alliteration. They also have merit, but it's the full alliteration that's my favorite.
There was a review which I can't find now that had four word beginning with 's' but two of them were a /sh/ sound. I don't agree that this is four word alliteration. IMHO and I realise others will disagree |

X and Z, I don't think you could come up with much for either of those letters.
Yup, this is the kind of thing I had in mind. Any case of alliteration which is particularly hard or otherwise especially impressive. I don't think Zs would be too hard, but Xs would indeed be a challenge.
O.K., I've submitted one with four (well, five) Xs. I'll let you know if it makes it.
Editted: I now have two reviews with quadruple x's pending. I also have two reviews with quadruple z's. both letters were tricky, but I believe that x is a thousand times harder due to the lack of verbs that begin with this letter. |

I read through the thread again. These letters do not have quadruple alliterations:
E I J N O U W X Y Z

Just aprroved! A quadruple x! It is not as strong as my other three pending, but I'm still proud of it, and consider it one of my best reviews. |

Would it be these reviews, Shiv?

HeHe VV No, these are alliteration (beginning sounds all the same). But thanks for digging them out, I haven't read everything in this thread... |

I have pages and pages of reviews that I did not go through; it's quite possible that I have some of these. |

This deserves a lot more votes.
To be honest, I was surprised when it never picked up momentum with the votes. I was quite proud of that one. :) |

I'm pleased to say I'd already voted on that one, but I suspect at least some of the vote-momentum problem may be because in the UK 'sheik' is pronounced 'shake' and not 'sheek.' Just a thought ...
