This is the Conversation Forum for Some like it hot - The Movie (DANGER SPOILER) Subject: A537338 - Some like it hot Posted Jul 4, 2001 by Back_Ache This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 21 The reason for the odd facts in a paragraph at the end is because originally the article was as you can probably tell from previous comments "footnote hell" The fact that the people supposedly playing instruments clearly had no idea how to play them has always been a tremendous irritation to me (especially as I am a bassist). I did a lot of research for this article so I have lots of little bits a pieces I can add to it but I have to be careful not to go over the top as it could kill the voice of the article I'll have a look if I can re-jig the article a little but I have to put a limit on how much I should do as it is clear it will never be an edited article!!!

This is a very good entry and I'm sure it will be picked eventually. Sometimes it can take weeks or even months before the article gets picked. I'd suggest you make one or two more changes and leave it at that. The scouts will wait until things die down in the conversation before they pick it.

SLIH is on stage again! Not only that but Tony Curtis is playing Osgood in it!! They are starting in Las Vegas on july 27th!!

All this takes quite a while, and, as has been said, they will wait for the conversation to die down to give you time to perfect the article. The Scouts are limited in the number of entries they can recommend per month, and it is often just luck that gets one entry in sooner than another. Then the subeditors get them to work over .... but that's another story. I like the tidbits at the end of the entry - lots of entries have them. They keep your attention right to the end. The only point I was making was that the year the film is made is a very important piece of information and warrants a mention in the opening lines. Better still, a short tabular summary of the main facts, such as is found in the film/movie sites would also be useful, without affecting the "voice" of the entry at all.

I'd say it's ready for the Guide Bossel (Scout) Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: A537338 - Some like it hot Posted Jul 26, 2001 by Back_Ache This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 26 Thanks for your kind comments, Sentence all broken down now!
