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.

Top of my second page, this review is maddeningly accurate.

Hey, wait a minute!

A minute gem from my 4th page.

Even though the joke is so obvious, it still cracks me up!

Trying to move up from my second page.
This is one of the first reviews I ever submitted.

Cary Grant and Jayne Mansfield -- a publicist's dream. I'm not sure why they didn't use my fwfr. After all, even the title of the film is a double entendre:

I like reviews that are both informative and a little bit silly. Here I draw attention to the fact that Cagney's film character Police Commissioner Rheinlander Waldo does not appear in the Doctorow novel Ragtime by referencing a series of 'find the character' puzzle books popular a few years back.

Way down my list of reviews.

Late entry, but this one from my bottom page got a vote right off the bat. Think it can catch more? I hope so, if it can!

Yeah, sorry about that. I tried to post it up early this morning, but the site froze, and after that ... I forgot

Good to see you so eager, though
