Re: anime movies for people who hate anime
Funny going back and reading my replies to this topic 11 years later. Despite how much I've changed in that time, my views on anime haven't, and in fact, there haven't even been many good series or movies released in that time. I finally got around to watching Millennium Actress (2001) , and yeah, i...

Deleted Movie?
Yesterday, I was at 2945 movies. Today, I'm at 2944 movies. Which movie was deleted, and is there a general way to track such changes?

Re: Can't find Worthwhile Movies anymore
As I wrote in this topic , there are very few modern movies that are worth a damn, and vanishingly few from Hollywood. So yes, you will have a hell of a time finding anything worthwhile coming out nowadays, even with perfect algorithms. Although, as you correctly note, Rotten Tomatoes has been bough...

Re: Summary of 2021 viewing
I rated many TV series and specials in 2021 I had watched many years earlier. Interestingly, let's look at the properties released in 2021 that I rated, along with the associated quips; Dug Days - 33/100 (Bad) Dave Chappelle: The Closer - 25/100 (Garbage) Bo Burnham: Inside - 17/100 (Utter Shit) Sav...

Re: The 20 Most-Loved Titles of 2021
What is the definition of "love" here? 75th percentile or higher?

Re: Why Top X Lists are Doomed to Failure
Earlier this year I found a guy who was methodically watching every western film ever made, and reviewing and ranking each. He started in like 2007 and is still going. I just tried to find his website just now but couldn't. It came to mind because it's the only example I've ever seen where a person...

Re: Introducing Streaming Options from JustWatch
It's certainly a neat feature.
I wonder, however, whether this includes links to movies in the public domain on Youtube?

Re: Why Top X Lists are Doomed to Failure
Sir. Sir. Literally every opinion on movies anyone has ever had is subjective. People are sharing their subjective opinions on what movies are the best with you and you're demanding that they adhere to absolute scientific rigor. I certainly hope you can pull your head out of your ass and appreciate...

Re: Why Top X Lists are Doomed to Failure
That's neither the way they're represented nor necessarily their appeal.
Yet they're almost always presented as such.90sCoffee wrote: They aren't literal top 10 lists.

Re: Why Top X Lists are Doomed to Failure
You're certainly right that they are doomed to fail in what the purport to say, which is to state definitively what the best of something is. And for an even more fundamental reason that the ones you've listed (which are also true). What is best is subjective. That's not why. Subjective articles ca...
