After a mere 3 years � my first review was accepted in August 06 � I have today swapped my cigar for shades & become a movie star. Sunglasses are a superfluous accessory this summer in the UK but at least I've quit smoking.
I don�t go in much for the self-publicizing activity hereabouts, & largely (I assume & hope) because of this my stats show a drastic reduction in average votes per review per annum as time�s gone on. In 06 the average is 5.19; in 07 it is 2.86; in 08 it is 1.45. Review votes so far this year look like some sort of binary sequence � zeros interrupted by the occasional 1.
To try to reverse this slide before I go into minus numbers, & to celebrate hitting the 500, I will undertake to distribute that number of votes among people who visit my pages & have a look around & express a bit of approval here & there.
I suspect distributing this many votes will take me a while, but anyway: first come, first served.
Cheers.

YAY lamhasuas! As a former Hotwells resident, I feel your joy 
Will visit your mighty haul over the next few days. Reciprocity greatly appreciated. 
A bit later:
Just took a chomp into your front page -- among some top-grade reviews I especially liked "Spader: videotapeworm." for Sex, Lies & Videotape.

Well done, lamhasuas. Sorry that I did not notice more quickly. It does not seem long since I started this thread. Movie star is my favourite status.
Most of us have yearly averages which decrease relative to each other because reviews that have been kicking around longer do gain more votes and it's hard to think of more and more good ideas.
I've visited your page. (Rock Golf, your U.R.L. would be a good idea but if Benj has introduced such a thing it doesn't work for me.) Awesome Run Fatboy Run one. |

Congratulations for your promotion.
I just hit 20+ of your reviews and really liked RamBotox for Rambo (2008) along with BB's highlighted review.
Keep up the great reviews

Congrats on becoming a movie star! I will be checking out your top 100 reviews unvoted by me. You may want to check out my top 100 reviews unvoted by you.
Edit: Checked out - several reviews having between 7 to 9 votes that made me chuckle a lot: these should move up! |

BaftaBabe, Larry, Rock Golf, demonic, Salopian, Josh, lemmycaution: many thanks. Things are looking rather less emaciated now, & reciprocity has occurred.
aahaa, muahaha: thanks also, & I'll be with you a bit later.
...231 votes used, 269 still burning a hole in my pocket...

Much appreciated.
Just had a look at your stats (to see how much your averages had gone up by, for some reason). So you have written exactly one review for every film you've reviewed? Is that by policy? Anyway, it certainly deserves inclusion here. (N.B., in this stat, it is no better or worse to be at the top or the bottom.) |

Cheers randall, Beanmimo & aahaa, muahaha. Favours returned.
It takes a while, this, but one of the very few benefits of working in financial services at the moment is the amount of free time I have. Hell, I might even put together an accolade.
Salopian: I'm quite happy to be at the bottom of that list. One review per film is my intention, yes. Occasionally I'll go back & re-review a film but I always delete the putatively inferior original when (or perhaps that should be if) the new review is accepted.
OK. I now have 172 votes to use up.
