I especially like "Ghosts, Buster" for "The Haunted House." |

Benj,
Both Salopian and I have 'Polka tots' for Mad Hot Ballroom, I think that Sal was first, if that is the case then I bow out gracefully, on the listing of the respective pages Sal was 3 days before me.
Cheers

It's ironic that Cheese_Ed should have posted the most recent contribution to this thread. His name crops up below.
Among the 50 or so reviews for Closer there are two with identical wording: Portman strips for Nichols. One is the Cheese's (6 votes) and the other is tommyboy's (1).
Fixed. |

benj's policy on this is that two identical reviews for different films is allowable.
However, I am very uncomfartable if a review of mine is a duplicate of someone else's, not only in the wording but also in the meaning of the review. If I find it, I usually delete mine.
I don't feel anyone else should be pressured to do the same, because I understand that 'great minds think alike'. I just don't like to think of one of my reviews cheapening someone else's work, which is what a duplicate does.
I happen to agree with bife's entire sentiment [excepting the highlighted point!], including not minding if others disagree with me and maintain any of their duped reviews. I believe it's a matter of personal ethics, and another person might even disagree with that!
In an ideal world, I'd say yep- no duplicates anywhere. Problem is that if this were enforced, it'd make for a lot more frustrating declines- revewiers would be expected to check against any other film that could possibly have such a review. Additionally, due to the indeterminate nature of generics, I don't feel anyone (certainly not me anyway) is qualified to say one film deserves a non-too-generic review more than another, so the simple answer is to allow them both/ all.
Still, if you wish to remove your own reviews which intentionally or unintentionally copy a review against another film, go for it. |

I'll let it stand- it's not quite the same sentiment, even if it does use the same homonym pun. |
