Romance, the old way!
3 of the movies in this round are based on Parfumerie, which also gave rise to "You've got mail." Of these 4 movies, only "In the Good Old Summertime" is set in a music shop. |

and let's not forget the two other times you've used the same review before (and you got my vote once for the "Watchmen" variation). You complain about ideas being copied and repeated on this site and post examples in practically every round, so I'm at a loss to understand how you can criticise others for doing what you do yourself.
It's fine use the same title or expression twice or more, so long as the reference is different (and not just by being for a different film). I've never said anything contradicting that: it's different to the same pun on a title etc. being used again, as then the value of the review is in the clever change to the title and not on applying it whole to another situation. If the phrase/title "Blue Moon" were used as a review a hundred times in different senses, it wouldn't be duplicating thefoxboy's, Sludge's or my reviews, as we obviously did not come up with the phrase first. However, if there were a pun such as "Blue loon" then any subsequent use would be duplication (especially if the references were broadly the same, rather than one being about a crazy person and one about the bird species etc.).
Of my three reviews one refers to sad+name, one to colour+buttocks and one to sad+satellite; thefoxboy's refers to saucy+satellite; Sludge's refers to saucy+name. I'm sure you agree that these are categorically distinct combinations. (I'd already voted for thefoxboy's but thanks for highlighting Sludge's good review, for which I've now also voted.)
Nice napperesque desperate bid to present me as inconsistent, though. |

| There's nothing desperate about it, I'm just pointing out the inconsistency of your behaviour - and how annoying it is when you police FYC - but of course I expected a thorough disputation. Interesting that you hadn't seen Sludge's review before - that suggests you didn't check to see if the review had been used before, as you seem expect everyone else to do on every review they write. |
