... which you knew would be rejected, but you just had to submit it anyway?!!
I've only done it a couple of times, and have always taken the decline in good grace. It was no surprise to see my latest land plop in my reject pile today, but I thought some of you might think it funny:
Silence of the Lambs: Baa. Baa. SHUT UP!!
Anyone have any other personal gems that you know won't make it into MERPville but you'd like to share with us?

| I've certainly submitted many which I thought were probably too 'generic' but which I thought were worth it on the off chance. |

Please don't misunderstand. I'm hoping people will share reviews they know have no possibility of being accepted, but which are funny. Post them so we can all have a laugh.
This is NOT a thread of complaint that something didn't get accepted. It's about FWFRs which you KNOW haven't a chance in a gazillion of getting through.

| A recent example from my reject pile was my review of Lifeboat: "Hitchcock's About a Buoy." I knew that review was doomed for factual inaccuracy when I submitted it, but figured I'd give it a chance anyway. Same with my critique of Paint Your Wagon: "Note-by-Note West." Doesn't quite work, but it made me laugh anyway. |

Certainly, many times. In fact, I can't remember what movie it was for or the review, but I remember for one I actually put in the comments something like "OK, you can reject this, but I just had to submit it".
(Right now I'm waiting for them to reject my review for Portraits Of Anorexia which is: "Fat Chance Film, ironically!" because the film was produced by a compnay called Fat Chance Films. Really!)

I submitted "Free the Pee!" for Bridge to Terabithia; although I know that quotes very rarely make it as FWFR.
But if you asked my kids what happened in the movie, that's probably what they'd tell you.  |
