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.

This might be against the rules here (and if so, Bafta, please send me a message and I'll change this post), but since there are so many new members on this Fourum, I thought it might be nice to pimp out one of my top reviews - that with a little bit of help might actually get to move into the top 500 review list. Let me know if this is okay or not.

For the New Members here!

Well - I suppose it's in the interests of "moving up" - technically, though, it should be your most-voted review to qualify.
But I'm feeling real generous this morning

Thanks! I get the idea, but since my most-voted review already is in the top 500, and the next two I don't like as much as I like this one, so that's why I chose it.

From my 6th page comes this cool beauty, which I like for its succinct evocation of the entire film.

No controversy here.

I like this review for the Randolph Scott / Zachary Scott Western because it's one of the first ones I wrote -- not one of the first accepted, just one of my first ideas. I'd love to see it get a couple of more votes.

Trying to move up from my second page.

I like this review on top of my second page, because it's on top of my second page.

From page 8, one of my favourites because it recalls that fabulous The Far Side cartoon "Bummer of a Birthmark, Hal". Gary Larson was great.

Link to cartoon.
