How you doin'? Dropped you a vote, love the review
BaftaBabe recently had a review approved that's a bit too similar to one of mine, too - I had Yeast of Our Worries for Night of the Living Bread, and her recent review reads Yeast of Our Problems.
I am not implying anything regarding Cankle or Baffy.
But my original review for Capricorn One was "Astro-Nots," which was refused for being too generic, and which is why I edited it to its current form (which made it worse).
Also, I have had painfully dissimilar reviews declined for being too similar to another review that it's surprising to me that Baffy's review was accepted.
I have observed that some reviewers get a far more lenient pass than others, a trend which has been augmented of late.
One final observation: There seems to be a major difference between the various merps' interpretations of the "too generic" rule, some of whom still subscribe to the rule's earlier incarnation which stated that a review had to apply to the film in question, and that film only. Needless to say, this rule has since been revised. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
I actually feel your 'pain' on this one, but it took me many re-tries to get an approval for this particular film, based on the 'Astro-nots' theme, so I'll keep it(based solely upon the fact that the kids launched into space in this particular flick were not ready for such a venture)
Having said that, a review of the same nature may actually be just as appropriate(if not more appropriate) for 'Capricorn One...'

Really? It only took me about eight hours after I submitted this Space Camp review to get it approved.

Thanks. (For anyone's who's wondering, RG suggested "Inflated doll, Lars" but I knew that the doll unfortunately wasn't inflated. Several variants later...) |

I had several variations rejected before I struck Astro-not gold. Congrats on the 8-hour window for 'tots.' I've had several reviews with such success, as of late, but my 'Space Camp' review was not one of them.
