"1500+ reviews. 1 joke."

Posted - 05/25/2009 :  14:27:30  Show Profile  Reply with Quote
At one time the only 3-letter review on the site that I knew of was noncentz's review of Jaws IV.

But this week I've found new 3-letter reviews from Krugerbait and Demonic (part of brilliant trilogy, D, which I hope you'll keep together in your FYC this week).

Have I missed any other 3-character wonders?

Long ago, I had a one-character wonder, which I still think works in a liberal sense. However, it was judged a decline, and I think I know why: because it would have caused a huge commotion in this very Fourum. However, *I'm* still a fan. benj, or whomever declined it, knows exactly what I'm talking about.

Does punctuation count as a letter?

If it doesn't, then I have my first 3 letter review.

I think you're looking at a four-*character* review there [the period at the end doesn't count], but that's still damn good!

Oh ok yeah. Nearly then!

Cheers

I'm determined to do a 3-letter now.

Thanks very much Rockgolf - I was pleased when I managed to work out reviews for all three - but especially pleased with "Red" because of the 3 character review... I will be FYC them together - not sure when yet, got a few to show.

If "The Life of Brian Singer" is ever made, I'm ready with "BS." And if "The Minimalist" is ever made, I'm ready with " ."

Just remembered four characters or less was one of Salopian's challenges -

FWFRers' challenge 13: Four-letter film reviews

I've got two other three character reviews on my first post there.

The 2nd review here is two characters if you don't count the space.

I have just come on to post that very thread, so thanks demonic.

Another two-letter one by bife is here, although it is good by accident as he didn't know that that is the name of a famous British television strand.

I tried to get "!" through for The Dot and the Line, and still think it's valid (a dot and a line falling in love being very surprising).

Was it you who submitted "A" for The Scarlet Letter?

If there ever is a Canadian version of Hawthorne's romance, I have dibs on "'A' eh!".

Nice spot Rockgolf, until you mentioned this I hadn't even realised that two of the reviews I entered this week are both my first ever 3 character and 4 character reviews.

With mild apologies to Se�n, I�ve just had �O3.� accepted for The Ring 3 (as yet unmade). Could be considered semi-plagiaristic, no doubt, although I did think of �O2.� (no space) independently but too late. Subscript assumed, O3 is of course the ozone molecule, so I suppose there�s a vague pun there if you allow that all the remakes & sequels could be said to constitute an O zone.
