Re: Your best mini-reviews

My writing is quite boring and shallow, and with only 7 reviews (I used to have more, but they were lost in the process when I decided to reset all my rankings). I guess my favorite is The room (Score: 10): "This is the one. This is the one I'll be remembered for." --- quote from the biopi...

Re: How are your custom ratings set up?

I changed them recently (after a few attempts). Due to my scoring habits, the tier system doesn't represent my feelings on what I watch. 100. Awesome (247) 90. Great (346) 80. Very good (397) 70. Good (379) 60. Fine (282) 50. Watchable (132) 40. Weak (72) 30. Bad (36) 20. Terrible (17) 10. Abysmal (...

No, wait, I don't know if I've fully acknowledged the meaning of the word, but would Fury and The Ox-Bow incident apply?

Re: 2012 movie watching

This year has been quite fulfilling in terms of film viewing. I watched 200 films (wanted a round number so I just watched my last one today ), which makes 37 less than last year, but overall the experience was more varied. I was finally able to start with one of my old pending matters, John Ford. S...

Re: What amount of your rankings are short films?

Probably looking at your rankings and choosing the option "Genre--->Short". I have 625 votes in that way (which aren't close to what I've watched), 44.7% of my overall rankings.

Re: Most blatant false advertising of films

Apparently, an anime series called Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica was sold as the typical sugar-coated magical girl anime. If you have watched it you can see how much of an amazingly troll advertising this was.
