Re: Her (2013) - is it not boring?
Saying a 4 hour film is 'long' is stating a fact. No, it's an opinion. No, it's a quantifiable fact. "This film is 4 hours" is a quantifiable fact. "This film is long" is an opinion. You use the two interchangeably and can't grasp the difference. So I was correct in my assumptio...

Re: Canvassing opinions on TV series
I watched the first 4 episodes of Season 1 Breaking Bad. I found it to be OK, nothing special till now. Is it worth going ahead - does it get better? How many episodes/seasons before it becomes better? Personally, I don't think it gets good until the later half of Season 3. I wasn't a fan of Season...

Re: Star Wars: Episode 7 - The Force Awakens
I don't know, ShogunRua. What you're doing seems dangerously close to: You're not understanding the idea of a work. You are, at the very best, understanding the idea of someone else's interpretation of that work. Your response to the LucasFilm CEO can get a pass, but when you're making a 7 point li...

Re: Your Favourite Users
If your review of BRICK is any indication, I'm enjoying your lack of motivation.

Re: My Best of 2015
I still haven't seen anywhere near enough 2015 movies to make a best of list yet. That'll probably take a few more months.

Re: Your Favourite Users
I have this problem where I read a review, nod my head in agreement, and don't star it. I should probably star more reviews. I have a habit of forgetting it's a thing to do here. How many stars have you given? I have given 461 stars to 300 reviews by 187 users and received 32 stars on 27 reviews fr...

Re: Your Favourite Users
Suture, you fail hard at trying to protect feelings (of someone who doesn't need them to be protected (did you just make a criticism sandwich?)) while being critical of that person by giving them compliments. I should probably cut this out but for whatever reason this is always how I've responded t...

Re: Your Favourite Users
I am also a big fan of BoobJuice's reviews and I wish she was still with us. She's reviewed a painfully small number of movies, but she almost always makes me laugh. On LABYRINTH: A film that sexualizes David Bowie as an infant-stealing goblin in tights. In other words, a perfect film. On WATERWORLD...
