Hmm ... I think GHCool used the very same fwfr for Return To The Blue Lagoon Not that I'm accusing you of anything ...

And someone (probably someone like AussieCanuck) famously used it here because they made a big deal out of thinking it had too many votes and disowning it, and Randall used a version here.

I've seen "Isle be damned" before, not sure what movie or reviewer. Think it might have been rockgolf.

You're joking, right?!



Seriously, I have no recollection of that review being mine! I did know it rang a bell, though

So as I was saying Larry... I think your "Island of the Damned" review has been done too many times before... dump it.

(Actually, even though Bife got there way earlier, it's still more appropriate for your film.)

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE - SOP: Simply Offensive Photographs.




I just watched that film and was wondering how I could use SOP in a review. I don't see why that should be declined, as it seems self-explanatory. I've seen many acronym-type reviews on the site, too.

I'd resubmit it if I were you.

You like it? It's yours. It was rejected as being too generic. There's no way to fight that. I was going to re-submit with, "Oh no it's not!!, but that seemed useless. Fell free to submit it under your name.

I don't think that would be useless. I frequently point out that a review is NOT too generic and then it either gets through or the MERP makes up a new reason. It's rare for them to insist that it IS too generic, once they are reminded of the 'new' rules.
