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.

My 5th page reveals this. I like it because it sounds totally innocent and is actually totally filthy.

From my 15th page, this one got three votes without my even trying to pimp it, so it must be worth more than that.

A freshly-laid view of the biopic of RJ Mitchell, the inventor of the Spitfire.

The film is rather romanticised and has "Mitch" literally working himself to death on the project - he actually died of cancer.

It starred and was directed and produced by Lesley Howard.

So, ready for take-off?

Chocks away!

It seems like I wrote this review a century ago, but it still has only a single vote from a most astute FWFRer (you know who you are).

I like it because I play on the director's name to bring in a gambling reference and I reference the author of the novel 1984 to which the film's title alludes.

Made me look!


This week, I present this one.

I think this little review is a bijou of perfection. WHY would a 'drama queen' disown her daughter the PLAYWRIGHT? The irony amuses me.

I don't think I ever promoted this one, so it's currently hovering on my third page, hoping to cross over to the second.

I like it because it's the 2nd pun I've riffed on "I, Robot".
