Put it this way � had I submitted that review, it would absolutely, totally definitely have been rejected as inaccurate. Indeed, a perfectly accurate review I submitted for that film has inexplicably received that result. All very mysterious. |

If that's the best you can do, I take it that you can't offer any explanation for the actual review. |

Oh, I see. It's a conspiracy against you. No, fair enough - if 'the man' is keeping you down you've got every right to be critical about any review that you feel isn't acceptable. I just wish you'd pointed that out earlier before we were so harsh about what seemed to me to be a mean and uncalled for slur against a fellow reviewer's work.
If there's anything I can do to try and overturn this malicious campaign against you, please let me know - I have friends in high places and you've always been so charming and open minded that it seems a shame that anyone should try to stifle your brilliance.

Thanks dude, it's not dead though - just put out to pasture. I've upgraded my G4 PowerBook to a swanky MacBook Pro. The old fellah is going to be a lounge music hub from now on whilst the young buck takes on the heavy chores.

Isn't the next bit a big old spoiler?
Not at all; they sold the film in the trailer on the fact that his wife, dead for eight years, sends him an email with a live video link of herself. Nice thriller, although it does lose its momentum in the final reel. |

Certainly not a campaign against me, but another reviewer has previously noted that the standards do seem to be different for different people, and I do think that that's the case. (Indeed, a similar review to the one I mentioned has since been approved.) However, that's not why I asked about B.B.'s review, and my wording was very measured and can hardly be called a "slur". In contrast, B.B. became scathingly personal against me for no good reason. |

Isn't it kept intentionally ambiguous about whether that is genuine, and we don't actually find out for sure till towards the end? |

No, not really. It's pretty clear from 15 minutes in that she hasn't died at all, the initial email Alex recieves shows a live surveillance camera with her on it, and you see her several times after that attempting to contact/meet him. It's clear she didn't die, you just don't know what actually happened till the end. |

sally, have you ever considered just how many fwfrers have "taken up against you" over the years; and how it seems to be only you? this is hardly a vitriol-filled site and fwfrers in general do not pick fights with each other ... only with you.
But they were all wrong, and you have every right to repeatedly demonstrate the error of their ways. The site really is much more pleasurable as a result of your constant vigilience against unfairness and inconsistency.
