Aside from the fact Douglas Adams and John Lloyd did such a great job of it, I wouldn't feel too happy taking someone else's idea and making a book of it  |

I'm sure it's been suggested b4, but can't remember the reply, that - if we all gave our permission - benj could publish a book of our reviews. I suppose the fairest way would be for us each to self-select what we thought were our best 25 or so.
But then, SOMEONE would have to prepare the ms and investigate possible publishers. OR, the site could offer it as a "print on demand" or pdf download. Or something. Or not.

Not necessary, benj owns the reviews. They're not 'ours'.quote:

Yep, publishing is the principal issue. As always.  |

Uhm ... I don't think that's true. Copyright is something granted by the originator of the material to the publisher ... in this case it's benj. He doesn't own the material, but by implication we have agreed to allow him to publish our original material.
HERE IS A QUOTE FROM BENJ's FAQ ON THE SUBJECT

Hmmm. So I interpret what your saying correctly, that means I can make a whole book of the 1000 odd reviews that I wrote without sharing any of the profit with benj! Excuse me while I make a few phone calls.  |

How about FAWFR? (Fuk-All Words Film Reviews... and the legit hyphenation keeps it to four words.)  |

For some reason I laughed at this long and hard.
And I've just laughed at the words "long" and "hard." Because I am twelve.
