I went on to see the top reviews of the day the other day and I saw a review that was very familiar to me. I then went to the movie and saw that it was almost the very same review as mine. I tried to use my report button but it weas not working. I then looked to the left of the review and there behold stood an EXACT same review as mine. Excuse me MERPS???? Just a few lines down is my review. These 2 reviews are written by 2 different people And if thats not bad enough, they have votes!!!! Is it me or am I the person for insperation around here???? Or is it that my reviews are being copied?? I can think of alot better people to copy than myself. What movie is it???
Superman
"Kent's highs and Lois." - chazbo
6 lines down
"Flying high and Lois." - Titanpa
"L.L.: Cool J(ournalist)." - Ali
5 lines down
"L.L. Cool J.ournalist." - TitanPa
Certainly you need a much better system if you can't see these reviews on the same page. Some help Benj. I was gfoing to report this. But my button may still not be working and this is too much of a coincidence not to be spoken about!!

Just a note of thanks to benj for investigating two recent issues, and acting upon one that called for it.
I decided to post this here, rather than put it in his already-regularly-jammed-I-assume mailbox.
Thanks again, benj!

All the best Benj (and Lisa)
Enjoy the day, and have a great time. A piece of advice we were given: Every now and then just stop and take a look around to see what's going on. The day goes by so quick you won't be able to take everything in.
Are all the speeches going to be done in four words or less?? |

Er... probably not. Apparently the funny duties are meant to be left to the best man, so I'll have to restrain my stupid urges during the speech 
P.S. Apologies for taking this thread so off-course 
So you gonna replace that mouldy '7' cake with a wedding cake? 
Congrats, looking forward to seeing you guys downunder on your world trip. |

Congrats benj.
Remember after every wedding comes a marriage!
It's been 18 years, 10 months and 15 days since our big day and I'd marry her again in a second (although I'd probably elope and skip all the stress that the wedding seems to bring). Remember weddings are all about the bride - think of yourself as an accessory on the day and just go with the flow.
No fwfring on the honeymoon either. |

I think that you should be careful about lambasting the MERPS....it must be trying to have to weigh every review and research the film and look at all the other reviews to see if they're too similar. It's a tough job and I'm sure they try their best. :) I'm sorry about your review problem and I think we both know it was an accident. :) |

This is true.
But, if you think that's stressful, wait till you're married.
It gets worse???
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.... |

I'm sorry I haven't immediately replied on this but, alongside the usual stuff, I've been somewhat preoccupied with organising my wedding...
I can understand that, but a brief acknowledgment would only have taken a few seconds and would have been much appreciated.
Clearly you've never had to put up with a stressed out bride-to-be for months on end. Seriously, if I can make it through the next week and a half, the actual marriage will be a piece of piss in comparison. I seldom get longer than half an hour on my PC of late.
I should also add that I receive a lot of emails on a daily basis (presently, for example, I have a classful of film students asking me to look at their reviews for an assignment they need to complete soon) and I typically prioritise approving reviews over sending email receipts, impolite as that may be.
How did I miss the fact that you're getting married? And in a week and a half? |

I only found out about the obvious similarity this morning once benj rejected my review. I am not that bothered whether anyone believes it or not, but, for the record, I did not copy TitanPa's review. Also, after scouring the reviews on any given film, I have recently started googling "my upcoming review in question and four word film review," to see if the review is a duplicate. I usually discard a review in case a pun I'd come up with had been used by someone else on another film. Obviously, this one slipped through.
And I don't think TitanPa's original post, with sentences such as "this is too much of a coincidence not to be spoken about," or "Is it me or am I the person for insperation[sic] around here????," or even "Or is it that my reviews are being copied??" was as neutral as it could have been.
That said, I am not bothered about crap like this. Which is why I didn't bitch about a particularly popular review from last week that mirrored a review of mine word for word for word.
Anyway, sorry for the hassle, and I will try and be more careful in the future.
Sorry about the outburst and sorry for the wording. I sometimes dont know how to express myself.
