About

This all started when I started watching the Yatterman movie and tweeting about how outrageously funny it is. When the tweets started piling up, I decided to make a dedicated place for them.

Rules!
1. Anyone can post their "Real-time Review" (aka your comments on the movie you're watching as you watch it), just talk to me and I'll give you access.
2. Your posts must include:
 - your name (or an alias, if you prefer)-- please note that if people choose not to use their real name, please respect their privacy and refrain from using it yourself.
 - the name of the movie you're watching, with a link to either IMDb or Wikipedia and whatever other information you feel like including (such as year, director, etc)
 - the conditions under which you're watching it (e.g. time, place, present company, level of inebriation...)
3. Tag your posts with your name/alias and the title of the movie
4. You can review more than just movies! TV shows, music videos, ads, anything you're watching that you feel the urge to blather about instantaneously is welcome here!
5. Don't worry about spelling or grammar. The whole point of a Real-time Review is to make spontaneous, stream of consciousness commentary.
6. is my favorite number.

There! Hajimaruyo! (let's begin)

Formatting

I'm not going to impose any strict formatting rules on you, but if you don't know a whole lot about html and want to learn, I'll show you how I format mine.

HTML 101:
The html tags I use are pretty simple: (in all of these cases, substitute { and } for < and >, respectively)
{b}Bold{/b} - Bold
{u}Underline{/u} - Underline
{i}Italics{/i} - Italics
{a href="http://www.google.com"}Link{/a} - Link
{img src="http://www.fugly.com/media/IMAGES/Random/tequila_kitty.jpg"} -
{blockquote}blah blah blah{/blockquote} -

blah blah blah

*note that you always have to close the tag by having {/whatever} at the end.

Now, what I've done so far with my posts is as follows:

{b}{u}Movie Title{/u}{/b} (any alternate names)
Year of release, Director
{a href="http://www.imdb.com"}Link to IMDb{/a}

Reviewed by So-and-So, Time, Date

{blockquote}
All my review comments go here

just like this

blah dee blah dee blah
{/blockquote}
When I want to say something unrelated to my review, I end the blockquote tag
{blockquote}
then start a new one

for the rest of my review
{/blockquote}


Which comes out looking like this:

Movie Title (any alternate names)
Year of release, Director
Link to IMDb

Reviewed by So-and-So, Time, Date

All my review comments go here

just like this

blah dee blah dee blah

When I want to say something unrelated to my review, I end the blockquote tag

then start a new one

for the rest of my review

If you're unsure of anything, use the "Preview" button at the top right hand side of the new post window. That'll show you what your finished post will look like.


There, now that the remedial class is over: Get reviewing!
