Four Your Consideration - Treasure Hunt
Sean Says: Put that in your pipe and flush it!
- Put any five reviews you like in your F.Y.C. list.
- Do not use reviews from the previous round - you must change them every round.
- Post here to declare that you've done it. Sooner is better than later.
- Provide a spoiler warning in your post when appropriate.
- You must read the F.Y.C.s of all participants.
- The next round starts on Monday or Thursday at 6:00 a.m. FWFR time, whichever comes next.
- The initiator of the next round will name the thread "FYCTH - #***" or "Sean's FYCTH - #***", "***" is one integer greater than the number of the current round. The initiator of the next round will copy this post verbatim and it will appear as the opening post of the next round, the only things that may be changed are fonts/colours and smileys (which may be removed altogether if desired) and the inviso comment after "Sean Says:".

Try these on for size.
Didja know ...
that when Peary sailed for the North Pole his ship had been specially refurbished for the journey. Guess what its name was.
In (500) Days of Summer, Zooey Deschenel plays a character called Summer. Other actresses also feature.

I'm back with five brand new reviews.
(Just in case you were wondering, in the film Laura while McPherson investigates Laura Hunt's murder, he falls in love with her from what he learns about her, which only further motivates him to find her killer.)

All this and World War two...
NB:
"La Grande Illusion", which stars Jean Gabin as an escaping prisoner of war, was a major influence on another famous P.O.W. film.
In "Closely Observed Trains" a railway station crew attempt to hinder the occupying Germans. |

Directed by Sidney Pink.
George Eastman plays a mute. Stars Bud Spencer.
This was the last movie James Stacy made before he lost his left arm and leg in a motorcycle accident.
Stars Selma Blair.
Harry Connick Jr portrays Lt Cable.
Here's some input fwiw: my own preference is no explanations, ever. It's like telling someone why your joke is funny.
If I don't understand an accepted four-word review, and I want to understand it (after all, it had to have been accepted for good reason, right?), I will IMDB it and find out, no matter what it takes. Have done several times! But without the hook of what seems to be quite insightful and/or clever and/or funny, WITHOUT the explanation, I'll pass.
That said, I am 100% FOR explaining fully to MERPS why they should accept your review. MERPS obviously need all the help they can get. |
