Unfortnately PHP isn't my area of expertise thus I can't be of much help here.

Kathy has not yet posted in this thread...

Yes, Kathy has not posted in this thead, but she has posted as to how she is not technical. I believe the first time was in one of the image game threads where she knew the answer but didn't know how to post an image when she was right.

The common knowledge rule applies here.

Darn, you are right Halo.

I missed how Pete said "you and Kathy"; somehow I thought he was talking to Kathy only

Thank you...I was feeling lonely all by myself.

The more the merrier!

Hmmm...is this what they call ménage à trois?

I agree! My lack of tecnobabble is well known!

2 ladies and 2 gentlemen (I guess I could pass as a gentleman)  ... sounds like it is turning into a fun corner!

What's wrong with watching?!?

I know, I know, I'm coming way late in this discussion and I got the big bad red warning about how this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days, but I felt it was better to continue what was started instead of starting a new topic, thus creating clutter.

So, here I go.

I'm liking very much the way the main page randomizes three reviews and at the same time I was checking the duos game forum so these got me thinking (I'm looking at you, Eric): Is there a feasible way to cross reference film reviews in the forum or is this a programming nightmare, I don't know what the hell I am talking about and I should be stoned to death?

This is what my wandering mind think it's cool:

I am reviewing X movie and as a reference. I mention another movie because it fits into the context or because I want to draw certain comparison or whatever your mind wants.... and it turns out we have an existing review or analysis of that particular movie here on the site.

So, I type the title of the movie, let's say Contact.

However, it would appear as clickable option, hyperlinking to the proper review: Contact.  (Don't fear, click on that).

Of course, I can just do what I did up there simply by hyperlinking the title to the first movie analysis we did here. But this is not particularly convenient and I think there could be an easier way.

I'm thinking of setting up a database of all available reviews we have at the site. Then, up there, along with the smileys and other functions, we could set a button reading "Link to Movie Review", a small database app will open and from there, you can pick, alphabetically, the proper review which you want to link to your own review, comment, comparison, whatever.

This can also be set, for example in the text games section we have. Take for example, the Duos game. I mention this actor and that actor together, perhaps that sparks your interest. Maybe we have a review available for it. Wouldn't it be cool to cross reference the movie you're mentioning with an existing review here at the site?

Again, if this seems like madness to do forget that I say anything, but if there's a way, it may be way cool.

If you need someone to search & type all movie titles for which there's an existing review into an Excel sheet in order to build a database of it, I volunteer (it won't be rapid fire quick but it will be done).

Shoot your thoughts here!

You'll have to look at Karsten (DJ Doena) now
