I've been thinking about it further and I really don't think people could validly think the Spanish more likely.
(i) The Spanish for yes is not si, but s�, unless I am much mistaken.
(ii) Something equivalent to "Yes..." does not feel right. Yes what? There would have to be some plausible reason for the pause, which I doubt is the case if it were that. |

So "Si..." was the entire review?
There it is...! Correct and correct. A number of votes a-coming your way (but not zero...)
And Sal, I'm not too bothered. In a way the MERP is quite right - it's a stretch, and it's not a decline I'm frustrated about.
It always helps to be called clever and erudite of course, that can sweeten the bitter pill of rejection.

Yeah. Around here you need a cast lion alibi for everything.

The review was for the short Thanksgiving in the Land of Oz and the cover of it is probably of a boxset or sorts. It's not really a biggie as the review was nothing special, but I chuckled a little ta how the Merp noticed the little lion on the cover, as I almost missed it.

"I thought he was fighting for money. Could you please resubmit an explanation of where the title King of the Tinkers appears in this film."
The film: the Irish boxing movie Strength and Honour, where Michael Madsen fights Vinnie Jones: Jones is playing an Irish traveller (in derogatory slang, a tinker)
The review: Tinkerella Man.
Now, I suppose you could use the same review for Snatch, and if it had been rejected for that reason, that might be okay. And I didn't say or imply that the title "King of the Tinkers" appears in the film. |

That's funny. I've just had a second pass decline as well with a "King of the..." issue.
The film is "Taris, Roi de l'eau"; review 'King of the Swimmers' originally declined for being a title play only (not so, Taris was Olympic champion of the time) and then for only being a translation of the title. But 'Roi de L'eau' means 'King of the Water' not 'swimmers', and that's not taking into account the whole point of my review - the punning reference to the closely named Disney song.
Any ideas? |

| I really cannot understand why the MERPs keep thinking that things are title play only just because the title accurately summarises the film. |
