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.

It's not that often you get a review out of the answer to the query: Knock Knock.

I couldn't have been more than eight when my parents took me to see Here Comes the Groom. I remember little of the film, a later Frank Capra starring Bing Crosby and a young lad not much older than I was. What I do remember is an Oscar-winning song by Hoagy Carmichael called 'In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening'. That's why I like this review. Chalk lemmy's SA:MOU #121 up to nostalgia.

Even my 0-voted reviews are cool.

Oink.


I like submitting puns that aren't immediately apparent, but the disadvantage is that they're liable to be passed over like this little runt.

BB: Could I ask you to explain your review of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the latest FYC? I really like it but don't understand it.

Well - I admit it's a bit of a stretch. Lots of refs online, here's one

In the novel, John Utterson is one of the key friends of Jekyll who steers the investigation of Hyde. But in the film his role was semi-amalgamated with Dr. Richard Lanyon. Utterson was still there, played by Malcolm Dunn, so in a sense the character was hiding, though still after Hyde.

Does that help?

Blimey. And I thought some of my reviews required a broad frame of reference.

The link to Wikipedia goes to a blank page. But no worries, your review gets my vote because it's so convoluted.

Thanks! Yeah, strange the wiki link is so crazed - I think it's the parentheses at the end. But if you go to the main wiki page and start to type Dr Jekyll and ... then a list will pop up, and if you pick the one with (1920) at the end, you should get to the page I mean.

Thanks again.
