Ooooh, I've got a new LJ trick for you. We encourage members that contribute lengthier reviews and lists and such to hide the bulk of them under an lj-cut. What's that you ask? Well it's just a little bit of html that is easy to use. Basically you find a spot after your intro and post the following in your LJ entry: (lj-cut text="Read more under the cut!") except with the >< in place of the )(. Hopefully that makes sense. And if you ever want to end the cut before the rest of your entry, put (/lj-cut) where you want the cut to end. We do this so people's Friends pages aren't taken up by hugely awesome reviews. topfive_reviews never should be an annoyance. If you have any other LJ questions, feel free to drop me an email or contact me on msn, my info is on my LJ page.

Hey just a bit of confusion here. Do I put the whole review in between the quotations of the text to make a cut? or Do I put it after the post for a cut?

Read more under the cut! )

You're doing fine, mostly because you're not running away complaining about how anal-retentive we are. :D

You put the review after the > in the lj-cut command line. Then push the enter button on your keyboard, and start writing up your review. Everything after the > will be beneath the lj-cut, unless you end the cut with the /lj-cut command line. I hope I made that make sense. :|

Since you already know how to edit your entries, you can just practice on this one if you like and refresh the main page to see if you mastered it.

On the topic of comedy recommendations, go with Hot Fuzz or Knocked Up, two of the best movies I've seen so far this year.

Oh, I've seen Hot Fuzz, which was splendid. Wrote a review of it, actually-I'll post that once I have this lj cut thing down pat.:)

As for Knocked Up, I've been meaning and meaning to see it, but when I finally got my lazy butt around to looking for it, it was already in movie hell (you know, that terrible place between theatres and being out for rent)-so I'll just have to wait..
If it's anything like 40 Year Old Virgin, though, I know I will be more than satisfied.:)

Me being the idiot that I am, completely forgot that you edited your first post to put the Hot Fuzz review in there.

Heh, you were satisfied by a Virgin. I'm sorry, but that line was funny. :D

hahahhahaha...yes, I was more than satisfied by a Virgin. You could say I was even...fulfilled completely.;) Can't wait to see Knocked Up. I work at a movie place, and it will be nice to have a rental come out that I actually want to see (after the massive plebian attack of Number 23, Premonition, Norbit, and The Messengers, I have retreated into the foreign/indie section:))
