I needed to make some small changes on the review I wrote for The Final Comedown (1972) and would like to have this review removed from the pending list. It has been on the list for approximately 36 hours. 99% of my reviews are approved within an hour so I rethought a few element of the review I wrote. 

Sincerely, MW

Hi mark_w_h9oezt9satnxv -

 

As your User Review was still pending, I have now cancelled the submission so it will not go live on the site.

 

Cheers!

I see it was declined. That being said, I made the edits but it is still pending along with another review. As these are films of controversial subjects, sometimes there's no way to leave out certain words or comparisons to current events. In the case of "The Final Comedown", it is a BLM film made before that phrase was coined and should be acknowledged as such. I cut out lines that might be construed as controversial or possibly subversive, but left in important details that have an aggressive description of the subject matter. If it is declined again, I will post the reference here so it can be checked by another editor. My reviews are my film viewing diary and to share that with other classic film lovers certainly makes it more useful than just sitting on my computer in a word document I keep of all my reviews. 

Thank you for clearing up why it was declined. I would have preferred to have kept the original review but will accept my edited review going live onto the site.
