But you use your home computer, right? Why don't you just log onto each version that gets used? This is what I do at work. |

It's a good tip, Se�n ... but it doesn't work for other than FYC ... e.g. MIHAI. For that, I have to edit the url to .com Bit of a hassle, but I'd never want to dictate the way people choose to log in.

On the whole duplicate thing, I think that duplicates across unrelated films are not the best but should be allowed. (Yes, some people got here first. So did Shakespeare - that's life!) However, I think that duplicates across similar films (e.g. biopics/documentaries of the same subject, adaptations of the same book/play etc.) should not be allowed. |

And for the most underrated reviews of the round, IMHO:
* Sean's lady in the water (clever wordplay)
Thanks. You're one of the two who liked it then. 
The puns were good, but I enjoyed the film, so couldn't vote for it. |

Hi Salopian, your link was much slower than the .com links and it logged me out and then my chair caught fire. What is going on with this .co.uk business? (I was kidding about the chair.)

Sorry Whipper, I disagree.
I noticed B-Rod had the same "It's a Wonderful Knife" for Santa's Slay as I did for Excalibur. It doesn't bother me at all.
I'm sure he thought of the review himself (You tell tell by his other reviews he has a knack for good puns).
You cannot claim a pun for yourself. On principle that's wrong. Here's how I do things. I'll think of a pun and the movie it goes with. I'll Google it and if that pun appears for a different movie, I'm still using it. Otherwise, people who have been on this site have a big advantage over newbies and can say, "I thought of that first, It's mine!" I don't think it's a good way to encourage new people to join the site.
Who cares if the duplicate review gets votes? There's plenty of votes to go around. Do what I do -- if I see a repeated review in the FYC, I won't vote for it.
I know some people say that a duplicate review adds nothing to the site but I completely disagree. When I wrote "Brat out of Hell" a few months ago, I thought it was original. I had never seen it for another movie -- despite the fact that I've been on this site almost every day for the last year and a half. (It turns out there were several other Brat out of Hell reviews).
There are more than 20,000 films and almost 250,000 reviews on this site -- so who cares if a really funny pun is used four or five times, as long as it accurately describes a film?
That's my two cents. I know duplicate reviews really bother some poeple but I just wanted to go on the record and say there are people people who aren't bothered at all.
I hope Benji never adds a duplication rejection feature for the entire site.
I don't want to get into a point by point rebuttal, but please do not misrepresent my position.
I have never asked for a duplication rejection feature, but rather a duplication information feature.
If you feel comfortable with yourself knowingly duplicating an existing review then you will still be able to go ahead and do it.

My link isn't slower because of the domain (as far as I know); it's slower because I have a lot of statistics on my page. I just prefer .co.uk. If you want to have .com, you can readily change the link in the U.R.L. This is what I do when I'm in an Internet cafe and click a link with a different domain to the one I'm using.
OK, I switched it to dot com and smote 3/5. "Bourne Three" is quality.
I'm all v+v my friends! |

Hi Demonic
I loved your review, too ... but am assuming you haven't seen this
Or this?
I cannot get this song out of my head now. Tell me - is it piece of pie or pizza pie?!
PIZZA!
