Victor posting his opinions is bullying ... how does this work again? I can tell you I do not agree with Victor on many of his opinions (and on many I do). But what kind of sanitized world would we live in if people were not allowed to post contrarian opinions? Go to the High Efficiency Speaker board - they just had a "cleansing".I don't post here often because I haven't had much of a chance to watch movies lately, and those I've watched are just "so-so", and not very inspiring to post about, positively or negatively.
So you just keep on posting about your movies, and Victor keep posting about "cacarella" or anything else. It's what weaves that "rich tapestry of life".
Now if we can get more people to post at the Wine Asylum...

Of course I want people to have differeing opinions and to discuss both positive AND negative aspects of movies. That's what gives BBs their life and color.I just want Victor to change his tune. Each of his posts about movies he doesn't like are carbon copies of each other. It's the same infantile "caca" litany over and over again.
As I said in my first post, he does not expound on WHY the movie sucks according to him. He deems that his word "caca" is enough.
Well, it isn't. BBs are about discussion, not guys like him always speaking in absolutes. There is no grey with this guy, only black and white.
I want Victor to change his tone. If you disagree with him, he dismisses you as a boorish pig. There is no discourse with him. There is no discussion, only that his opinion is all that matters. This is what I meant by "bullying".
His posts simply come off as arrogant posturing.
Look at his subsequent post to me in this thread re: the "Withnail and I" comment. Or his (what he thinks is an) insult about me not knowing Cyrano (wrong again). Guys like him are SO insecure that they constantly have to be spouting quotes from literature because they think knowing these works makes them better than the people that don't.
mvwine, it's not at ALL about the fact that Victor posts negative reviews, it's that he posts poorly written negative reviews and that he belittles anyone that personally attacks anyone that disagrees with his bad reviews, whether calling him out for writing poorly or for liking the movie.
Yo Mama is right. People avoid posting here because they don't want to get into fights with this self-appointed Pope of the AA music board.
You want Victor to be more detailed, and less repetitive. Fair enough. But even if he doesn't change one iota, don't let it keep you from posting. Who cares if he calls you a Moron (oops, wrong guy)?
YOU know your not a moron, YOU have confidence in your opinion, go for it!FWIW, if I did post reviews on the recent movies I've seen, you'd REALLY not like my repetitiveness:
Acting - so-so
Directing - so-so
Production values - so-soetc.
But I will post a review on "Secondhand Lions" (next up for viewing).

That youwill love "Second Hand Lions".
With Michael Caine and Robert Duval, the director would REALLY have to screw up to make a bad movie.
