By textbook I meant rating movies strictly on a "how good is it" way, as if they were being ranked for a study of film.

If I review it, I admit I'm being a forgiving, schmaltzy, nostalgic bum by giving it more points than it deserves. Or if I don't I just let it ride and occasionally bring it up elsewhere just to remind people I'm a monster who gave Bio-Dome a perfect 100.
