Ok, MWG, I'm going to try to put this into some sort of perspective for you. Suppose there is a major earthquake somewhere, and a building collapses. When it happens, there are 100 people in the building; 91 of them are seriously injured, while 9 of them somehow miraculously escape injury. Who's word are you more likely to take as to how terrible the experience really was? One of the 90 people who were badly hurt, or one of the 9 that escaped injury?

As much as your comparison makes sense, Saturnwatcher, I think MWG is the kind of person who, when he has his mind set on doing something, is going to do it no matter how many people suggest he shouldn't. If the kid wants to be caught in the middle of an earthquake, he's going to go out of his way to get caught in the middle of the earthquake ... and then say what a great experience it was!

Okay...this should be the Razzie nomination clinching review line:
"Battlefield Earth" has a new rival for the title of "worst-film-of-the-last-20-years." |

And yet, MWG will STILL go to see it, and STILL give it 6 out 10 stars because he so desperately wants to like this movie, and we all know he's willing to lower his movie standards as quickly as a goverment official will accept money from a bank lobbyist.
Seriously, I know we're not expecting much from "Expendables", but I'm starting to doubt that even it will get reviews WORSE than this!

Sly Stallone should already be filling out "Thank You" cards and sending them to M. Nut Shamalamadingdong and Adam Sandler.

Yeah, Sly's probably reading the reviews on this even as we speak, and thinking "Damn, could I have timed the release of my movie any more perfectly?!".

Don't forget ... first movie to go out on DVD or PPV around voting time = easier access to Razzie voters who don't want to pay theater prices, or who just need a little reminder.

BHB -- Maybe you should watch the review I posted the link to -- It was negative!

Yeah, I know, that's why I showed it to you! If that's a die-hard fan's opinion, do you still think you need to run out and pay money to see this s*** ... or is that ONE "good" review really THAT convincing?

Ok. You guys are real assholes! Maybe give the review a watch before you assume such idiotic things. The review I posted said the film was BAD. Jesus, if you guys can take the time to WATCH the freaking review, then you wouldn't have to waste your time making up a metaphor about a majority opinion and say that this reviewer liked the movie when it's exactly the opposite! This is beyond ridiculous!
OMG! I'm tearing my hair out of my head! NEWS FLASH: The review I posted WAS NEGATIVE!!!!!!!! HOW MUCH CLEARER CAN I NOT GET?!
RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Yo, MWG -- Please refrain from using terms like "assholes" -- That's not going to convince anyone of anything, and only makes you look more foolish than the people you think you're insulting. Your input and opinions are of course welcome here, but some degree of civility needs to be maintained...

If you just watch the freaking video review, it'll make a LOT of sense of why I said, "Maybe I should watch it?" Just really, watch the video. It's about 6 minutes long...

Yeah, not a very clear post if you ask me. "Here's a GOOD review for "it", Maybe I should watch "it". Yeah, I agree with your last statment: "how much more clear can I NOT be"?
Careful, everyone, moviewizguy's angry! moviewizguy SMASH PUNY CRITICS!

How about this: NO. I'm probably going to have to watch this crummy movie sooner or later anyway, because the OVERWHELMING consensus of the critics is that it is not only a piece of crap, it may just be a bad enough piece of crap to drive a stake through the heart of M. Nut's career. That means it is probably bad enough to garner lots of nominations here, too....so...no thank you.

Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge. When I said, "Here's a good review," I can tell you're assuming that it's a positive one. However, when I said "good," I meant, "Look how well written (or, in this case, well spoken) this review is!" And when I said, "Maybe I should watch this," then you should probably see the video to fully understand my response.
