It is a better fit, so I don't think that you should get rid of it. However, if you do, you should delete it. Like I said in the other thread, existing under Smithee does not in any way lessen its existence on the site.



True, but Smithee-ing it makes sure that someone else doesn't get the same review accepted for that movie later on.

Since Smithee having it is no better than someone else having it, this is no advantage. Indeed, it is worse, since it will make the review definitely exist continuously, rather than possibly exist in the future.

Hm... I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one, Sal.

If you decide to delete, disown instead. Al S. is a great reviewer! Why waste those votes?

If ChocolateLady doesn't want to keep the review, the fairest thing to do with the votes is to transfer them to Tequila Mockingbird.

Kudos to Sludge for dropping his one.



Ah I was wondering what all the fuss was about!!

Chocky, if you're zapping, go Smithee!

I'm going to let Tequilla decide what I should do. As for giving my votes over to Tequilla's review if I delete mine, I can understand doing that for two similar reviews for the same film, but I'm not sure why I would ask Benj to do that for two identical reviews for two different movies. If you explain your reasoning, I'll certainly think about it.

When you were young, and your heart was an open book, you used to say live and let live (you know you did).

But if this ever changing world in which we're living makes you give in and cry, say live and let die.
