Title: Flangepart's Fractured Films. Or: Grasshopper kneels at the feet of the master.
Post by: Flangepart on July 22, 2002, 07:12:25 PM
As a long time fan of Andrew Borntreger, That Mean, Green, reviewing machine, i've been attampting to hone my writeing skills with my Lil ol' Mini Reviews, here at BADMOVIES.ORG. (org. Chris...org. its not hard to write.) For what their worth, its fun to find a clever way to get people intrested in seeing a flick. Thats why i use the Stuff To Watch For! format. As i have to use the Col. Library computer, it limets what i can do. This format keeps it short, and concentrates me on the key stuff from the film subject at hand.  Brilliant stuff.... not likely. But...i try! As with many of you, Andrew has inspired a lot of laughs, and made me want to see some great grade B cinema. So, this is a tribute to Andrew, a writer who proves that Marines are NOT dumb slobbering brutes what coulden't bring  two words together if you put glue on thier hands and told them to grab a phone book!  Thats the Army! (Great, Now Black angel is going to hunt me down and nuke me. Sheesh!) In short...if any of you remember any of my vast vat of vacuous verbage....well, here goes...what do you make of it? I'm no Joe Bob Briggs....but i'd like to know what i might do to reach that pinicle. Any opinions? Any thoughts? Any good looking sisters with a sence of humor and a healthy bank account? I know many of you feel the same way. Thats why Andrew has so many good guest reviews! And you know who you are! Sure....this opens me up to ridicule, slander, verbal abuse, and the occasional thrown killer tomato/tom-oughto. But, if  Sargent B. has the courage to defend this country from enemys, Fourign..forine...fou...Dam, where's smell sheck when ya need it!....and domestic, and bad films to boot(Camp)...its the least i can do! Have at you!...er,...me!

Flange, I think my only suggestion about the mini reviews would be paragraphs.  You are limited by your Internet access, so do not worry about the spell check.  I always know what you are trying to say and you say it politely, usually with points about the movie that make me think.

I am here for the love of the movies and the people, it does my heart good.

Andrew

I agree, the only thing I dislike is the way the whole thing runs together. It makes it a little hard to follow. Content is fine if a little brief.

I hate to admit this....but the computer i use....i can't figure out how to get the stupid thing to print/present my stuff any other way! I can't even figure out how to use the underline feature. Sheesh! I've tried to get it into paragraphs, but when i go to post, it puts it all in a line up as you see it. what am i doing wrong? Its a normal keyboard.....Arghhhhh! Me hate com-puter! I'd like to get it stacked one line above the other. What am i doing wrong?

Flange, it may be the way the library's computer posts the information.  That could be removing your returns and such.  Unfortunately, I would have to see it from your end, but that would be my guess.

This page (http://www.badmovies.org/bbs/help.php) might be of assistance in learning how to underline or bold text.

Thanks, Andrew. I'll give it a try. I'm almost afraid to explain my prob. to the library emp.s, as there is a rule aginst Chat rooms, and it could give some doofus the idea to block the phorum. Hummm...i'll ask my friend Bryan about that. He'll likely know.

Wouldn't have thought of the Phorum as a chat room.
