My "Death becomes cur" review (for Cujo) is a review that I didn't think was particularly strong when I came up with it (in fact, I almost didn't submit it, but in retrospect, I'm glad I did), but its got the highest vote total of any of mine. So far, it's the only review of mine that someone has specifically mentioned enjoying, and that's happened more than once.
If I were to do some spring cleaning, that one would make the list of what, to me, are weaker/boring reviews. But it would make a lot more sense to disown it rather than delete it, since (1) there's no reason (that I know of) why it shoudn't have been approved, and (2) I know for a fact that other people like it, so why ruin that for them? (And no, I'm not planning to disown or delete it.)

Hello and welcome!
Actually, I thought your reviews for Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam and Amadeus were better. Still, I liked your Cujo review and just voted for it.
But I wouldn't get rid of any of your reviews if I were you. You're still new here and you can use all the approvals you can get (and you've got some good ones). I haven't Smithee'd any myself, although I have deleted some that I couldn't get votes for.
(Come and join some of the other games here. Its fun!)

Just out of curiosity, how many times do you intend to welcome me?

I'm not planning to. If I had one that shouldn't have been approved, then I'd delete it, but AFAIK, none of mine fit the bill. What seemed like a good idea for a review at the time isn't necessarily so in retrospect, but I'll stand behind the reviews I wrote, good, bad, or ugly; so it's unlikely I'll disown any in the foreseeable future.

the only review i've smitheed was one that i lifted directly from another source. i thought it was witty and met the requirements for a fwfr. i watched the fwfr page for "Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector" for about a month to see if anyone else would submit it.
when it never showed up, i submitted and disowned upon approval:
"Git-r-dumb."
at the time i didn't even know about Alan Smithee, and questioned when this dude got credit for my stolen review. i thought it would go to anonymous. i had no plan to keep it when i submitted it. |

| Every once in a while, I'll find an oldie of mine that just doesn't exhibit any savoir faire. I'll always give it to Smithee, because I love the bloke, and want to see him advance here on fwfr. |
