Finding a way for members to search by film title and reviewer would be the most optimal. I often wish now that I had all my reviews in separate threads dedicated to themselves. One of the reasons is that when a reviewer incorporates pictures into their threads, it makes it take forever for some of the dial-up users to ever see it. Having individual threads makes that moot. Like you said; scrolling through a long thread that takes a long time for each page is a pain in the ass. I know there are a lot of my reviews that will never be read again because they are buried deep in my thread…I hate that.
If I could do it all over again…I would have a thread dedicated to my index. Nobody would post in that thread, but they could see when I update it and quickly see what I’ve done so far. Very much like what Delilah has done with hers, except I would make individual threads for my reviews instead of adding to my index. As far as the rating system goes…whatever. That sounds fine. |

(****, i've just added an arrow to my armament of silly punctuation :rolleyes: ) Altho, wait, now i'm thinking such a list should have a brief synopsis of each film/review to help casual browsers (and now i'm thinking people should be able to quibble over each definition Wikipedia style. Ahh, right, now i'm thinking it's time to stop thinking ;)) |

My motive is to try and sell a movie to people. Limbo, in particular, has not been seen by hardly anyone on this board...I know of only three who have. But maybe I talked someone else into seeing this wonderful film.
Thanks for the comments...and check out my other thread...I always like to hear what people think. I'm glad you're sticking around. |

I've seen it, and frankly it's a big disappointment and nothing special nor is it one of Ricci's better performances. Buffalo '66, The Ice Storm and The Opposite of Sex are her best so far. |
you're right!, i forgot Buffalo '66 and The Ice Storm! (not sure, but i think i still haven't seen The Opposite of Sex) - i didn't find her bad at all in Prozac Nation though... but that's just me.

Then again I have not seen that much of her work. Do you have any recommendations of other good movies she has been in?

oh *****, now i'll have to choose between Ash and Ice Storm!!
and Slay, yeah! i do watch Gilmore Girls, i love the mother and the daughter and... and... both together! ;) |
How about another review soon, I think we all love to read them Slayer. Ha! you have a new nickname! (if you don't mind sir.)
|
Thanks Strummer. I'm currently doing a write-up on all of Silver Bullet's short films. After that, I dunno. I really burnt out doing 'em.
|
Yeah you have written a lot of them, and you seem to put a lot of effort in. Choosing your words all carefully and whatnot. They must have taken a while to write.
|
They weren’t too bad to write until I started getting carried away with the length and presentation. The ones that were the hardest for me were my 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Passion of the Christ, From the Earth to the Moon, and Band of Brothers reviews. They are also the reviews I’m most proud of. I do miss the attention I used to receive because of them. I was the only one doing any at the time. Then all sorts of people started writing, so I didn’t feel compelled to anymore. Now there are all sorts of fun reviewers at the site like Lance, Sammy, Golgot, and OG-. I enjoy reading theirs and others…it sure is a helluva lot easier than writing them. :)
Thanks for the kind words, bud. I really do appreciate them. |
Just watched A Very Long Engagement and then read your review and I gotta say great job. What a movie huh? I'd give ya some rep gut I hafta spread it around first. :)
|
Wow, great review there LS. Kubrick is a very talented director and I can agree with some of your points on 2001.
|
I am new to Mofo so my oppinions hold no real weight, but i loved the reviews of the butterfly effect and the last samurai. . . i have seen both and enjoyed both, thanks for good reviews, also i plan to watch "Monster" after reading the review, thanks again.:)

Heheheh. I think Slay's Lines-is-on-lithium assessment is so spot on ;).
