Amazingly this film has a fairly high rating on the imdb site - 6.5/10 (3678 votes); I was planning on checking it out from my library video
section, but from what Filmlanders say, think I'll take a *rainCHECK*
instead, not worth the viewing effort. BTW, there is a TV Movie about
ebola, which I haven't seen: "The Plague Fighters"-1996, awaiting 5 votes
on imdb. - AH
...but perhaps I should run a calibration on that imdb thingy. I need to compile the list of the crapiest movies and run it there. I suspect most will not go below 6 or so. Things like the imdb tend to even things out, and the greatest masterpieces will usually not register much higher than my favorite piece of crap - the Titanic, for example. It is all the the voting crowd, my friend.To a large extent that crowd does what it does when it goes to see the movies, and we all know that it is not the best movies that collect most of the sucker's money. 100 million that liked the Titanic represent a much more powerful voting body than those 10,000 idiots who went to see the Postman.
What you are seeing is the "democracy" at its ugliest. Remember, there is really no difference between the democracy and mob rule. Democracy is specificaly designed to suppress the best to the benefit of mediocre.

mediocrity is a lack of any extreme, even if that means extremely GREAT
