Re: 100 things I hate in movies

49. Middle-aged detectives without any investigative instincts or display of experience. 50. "I can do this, because video game." 51. Pretty action without impact or stakes. 52. Following up a big, cathartic moment with a smaller, less cathartic moment. 53. All streets are wet at night and...

Re: RULES that help you decide how to vote

My rules are very intuitive and basically based on severity of resonance. If you will. Not necessarily of how long it resonates with me. But how strongly it does. Even if it's immediately over once the credits kick in. Sometimes I need to wait a little for the maximum possible resonance to build up....

Re: On what basis do you rate films ?

k, so I'm gonna go deep. Let's start with comparing watching a movie to hearing a joke: Not everyone's on the same page, when it comes to whether or not there is merit to jokes about serious, depressing and otherwise "taboo" subjects. But if it makes you laugh, that's your subconscious tel...

Re: how to deal with your own changing taste over time ?

I only change my vote for the worse when I feel it's justified. That justification would have to be some new discovery during the rewatch. Something I didn't notice before, so I wasn't able to realize the movie is actually much worse than I thought. But even then it's seldom guaranteed I'll downrank...

Re: How do you rate movies you have seen a long time ago ?

I usually base it on how vivid my memories of it are. With some movies, you remember what they meant to you as a kid, or how often you saw them. Those things usually increase my confidence when giving high ratings. But of course you're not gonna be accurate. I think I had The Lion King at 80 and dro...

Re: How granular are your ratings ?

Being used to imdb I was always a little frustrated there weren't more rating options. So criticker was a revelation, but also a little overwhelming at first. Initially I based all my rankings on my imdb scores and then rockpaperscissored a little within the tiers. So weaker 7s would get a 67, solid...
