SA:MOU = Self-Assessment: Moving On Up
DA LATEST ROOLZ

1. Look at the top-rank reviews of ANY OF YOUR PAGES. Pick ONE film you think deserves to move up to the next page - as sorted by votes received. This means that even one vote will "move it up." You are urged to say which page from the top you've chosen.

2. Isolate that film* and present the link in this thread.

3. You now have the choice to share with us AN EXPLANATION OF WHY YOU LIKE IT. Not an explanation of the review ... but of WHY YOU LIKE IT.

Who knows, your wish may come true

4. Da Roolz have been altered because far be it from me to insist on tyranny. Clearly some people just don't want to share their explanations of why they like one review in a page of 100, but they still can't resist upping their vote count.

So go on, do whatever you want to.

Honestly, I don't want to be the SA:MOU police and neither do I want to have to read yet another pseudo-explanation that someone likes a pun because it's a pun. I hope some people will play within the spirit of SA:MOU if only because I really like to compare my own assessment of why I like someone's review with its author's.



* It's been covered before how to do this, but here's a step-by-step recap:
1. Go to the page featuring everyone's reviews of your chosen film.
EITHER
2. From the drop-down display options choose My Reviews Only. [this method is ONLY if you have one review for your chosen film]

OR
2. Select Reviewer Name for the page display.
3. Find your own review and count which number it is on the page.
4. Up at the top url display you'll see something like this:
http://www.fwfr.com/display.asp?sort=2&dir=2&id=1698&Mode=&Rows=1&Start=11
5. See where it says Start=11 ... change that numeral to whatever you counted in step 3, and press go.
6. Your new page should now start with your chosen review.
7. NOW, to eliminate all the other reviews still showing, go up to the url display again and see where it says Rows=100.
8. Change that to Rows=1

Your new page should now have only your chosen review displayed. Copy that url and use it as your link for this thread.

General Midwinter is a hate-filled billionaire Texan who is about to start WW3 to destroy those Ruskie Commies, and no-one better get in his way! He's played by Ed Begley, who is perhaps best known for starring in a certain jury-room drama...

From my 8th page, I just like the way this one sounds, and if you repeat it aloud often enough it will drive you insane, too!

Your votes just Rose by one.


Of course, some people might say this review isn't so bad either...

At the top of my page 3.

Edward Everett Horton is one of my favorite character actors, so I'm glad I could honor him with a current reference to an old movie. By the way, he's in the movie more than the short list of actors would imply.

Master of the double take.

I believe he was in part of your avatar Larry.

Wrote a few for this flick, but whad'ya know, one finally got thru... Like it 'cuz it rhymes, touches the flick perfectly, and got me on the board for this particular film...

It's no 'Skank on a chain,' but I like my chances...

Voted to here... Ali, had already 'touched' your submission, so I took the liberty of touching you elsewhere, hope you don't mind...

Damn, I crack myself up... can we start a thread based upon just how frackin' hilarious I can be?!

And no Whipper, you're not to title the thread!

From the top of my sixth page, comes this review, which I like, for its rhyming (and spelling), brevity (2 words) and accuracy.
