Just a thought. I give the above advice a (2.891 x 6.77791) - 9.5949378 / out of 10.

You'd see 9.6 ratings, 7.4, 3.2. Which meant their scale had 101 possible ratings. Fuckin ridiculous. I rate everything I see on IMDB so I default to a 10 point scale, but I find that you get into a weird netherverse under a rating of 5 or so. If I've rated a movie a 1 chances are that it's so disastrously inept that it's a hell of a lot more watchable and entertaining than a 4, which is probably so bland that I'll forget it almost instantly. Rating systems are tricky, because you're always going to run into problems with the subjective distinction between actual cinematic quality that most would agree on and guilty pleasure favorites that only you appreciate.

People kept saying to me, "How could you give that movie 4 stars? Or 1 star? or 2 stars? or 3.5 stars?" And I kept thinking, "Uh, I wrote a whole god damn essay about why I felt that way." So please continue to express your thoughts in intelligent writing.

Can't you see it's never gonna work out? If you hate me, my reviewing style and my thoughts about movies then there are several, perhaps dozens of other websights that contain other types of content. I think it would be better for everybody if you went and commented at one of those instead of here. thanks for your input Sorry Paul, we just don’t gel. Can’t you see it’s never gonna work out?

I thought I could reform this knucklehead but if he's gonna suggest I use a god damn rating system then fuck it, he is the first person ever to be banned from outlawvern.com. That's like pissing on my grandma's grave. Go read the movie blog or something buddy, the type of reviews you're looking for will never be posted here. Or I guess to put it in a format you can understand, "Paul G is a-PAUL-ling! D-." Okay, that’s IT.

He's best known for putting all of us in our place and letting us know on a constant basis how faggoty we are. But he uses the word faggot like a term of endearment, really, and to tell you the truth I'm quite fond of him myself. But not in a gay I mean faggot type way. Anyway you have some serious work to do if you're going to try to compete with him. And despite all his huffing and puffing he rarely disrespects the man Vern himself, whereas you seem to have performed the internet equivalent of marching into someone's house and taking a big wet dump on their living room carpet. If you're willing to revise your opinion, I present my favorite Vern review: http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=24309 Well before you came along, Paul G, AU_Armageddon was the go-to guy for angry rants around these parts.
