Rockfish, when I first started, I ran into this problem a lot.
When I cut and pasted a link from my home computer (a PC), it worked fine, but when I cut and pasted a link from my work computer (a Mac), it always left out the "www."
I see the same thing happened with your link. The link without "www" will work for you but not other people. Hope that helps. |

I don't have a habit of explaining my reviews. In fact, the more condescending an explanation of a given review on an FYCTH, the less likely I am to vote for the respective review, however wonderful it might be. I end up voting for them in a few weeks when I do my usual catch-up anyway.
Having said that, and knowing that Beanmimo has reported it (I have said this many a time, but it must be repeated ad infinitum: reporting a review is pathetic in its poltroonery), I will support my original review - a list of reasons that I have previously pm'ed Beanmimo.
Firstly, ever since the relaxation of the generic rule, a review CAN apply to more than one film. Secondly, It was also De Mille's most successful movie, and a HUGE box office hit at the time: again a triumph. Finally, Cecil B DeMille was a right winger, and his "Birth of a Nation" was very sympathetic towards the KKK. Thus, my review is an ironic nod, too, since the film is actually about Moses and the Jews, even though the review is a pun on a Nazi propaganda film. It's not the best review in the world. However, it is anything but "too generic."

Yeah a rash decision on my behalf and I'm sure it will be quickly passed over by Benj.

It's only Benj who can reject already-approved reviews, unless the system has changed without him telling us. |

Thanks to my friend Whipper who corrected me privately, Birth of a Nation is, of course, a D.W. Griffith film. The gist of my argument still holds, of course, joined, in turn, by my sheer arrogance-fuelled idiocy.

Actually Cecil B DeMille was Jewish under Jewish law, as his mother was Jewish and religious descent is matrilineal. (He was brought up as an Episcopalian - his father being a lay minister.)
