Some of my contributions that may whet your appetite....
*Beauty and the beast - Pun on "Beauty killed the beast" - the last dialogue of King Kong (both 1930's and 2000's versions)
*Unsuccessful Somersault - Pun on the phrase "falling head-over-heels"
*The Terrorist - Pun on the phrase "darker side of life" - Ms. Dharker played the protagonist
*Tailor of Panama - Pun on the phrase "spinning yarns"
*Gandhi - Pun on the phrase "One man army"
*and most importantly, Stripper Academy - Pun on the phrase "Show me money", 'coz this is the example phrase that Downtown gave. |

Pixie dusted to here. I am a sucker for this type of review so consequently I had already voted on many of them but I enjoyed them all over again.  |

Hmm. Well, the indentification and encouragement of quality means giving and getting votes doesn't it? I think we're all posting our best examples mainly for that reason. Or am I alone in hoping for that recognition to extend to more than the respect of my peers? If someone does good work the reward we offer is votes - so really it is a vote gaining exercise even if it's dressed up some other way. I love to vote on good reviews - this is another chance to see them.... |

As I already said, I am happy for people to get votes, but that is not the primary reason for this idea. What you say (emboldened) above is at odds with "I was... considering posting a link to a page of my reviews", which is what I wanted to discourage. |
