In Reply to: So do I but I skip any reviews of movies I intend to see. posted by Analog Scott on December 9, 2006 at 01:26:00:
In fact I am on record numerous times here, about how I gather the reviews and wait to read them until after seeing whichever movie.Thanks for the instruction though, teach.

But if you can't figure it out. Please tell me what you meant be "first, I checked the local review?"

My "complaint" was your choice to read a review before going to see the picture so you would know what you were "supposed" to think of it. Your excuse was that you read the paper every morning and there it was, that darned review. By the mere act of reading the morning paper you seem to imply that you were compelled to read the review. It does seem to be the resaon you gave when I asked why read a review before seeing the movie. I then simply pointed out that as a person who also reads the morning paper that one can choose not to read a review of a movie one already plans on seeing and then go on to watch it and make up one's own mind what one thinks of it.I pointed out that this is what I regularly choose to do myself. Then you seem to loose your mind and ask me what gave me the idea that you read a review before seeing this movie. Are yo retarded? IT WAS YOUR FIRST POST IN THE THREAD THAT STATED YOU READ A REVIEW BEFORE SEEING THE MOVIE! Now you want me to read the last line of one of your posts to find some sort of explination for your lunacy?
wow
But I can't resist taking this just one step further, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.The idiocy on display here is almost too good to be true.
"You want me to read the last line of one of your posts to find some sort of explination for your lunacy?" Yes, because there it was that I clearly stated, from the start, that only the first paragraph and one more sentence of the referenced review had captured my eyeballs.
Yet, this poster has postured and sneered and falsified the evidence to make it look as though I had slavishly followed said review, when plainly nothing of the sort had occurred. Indeed he has behaved like the bullies in Apocalypto (of which more later), smirkingly thinking he's in control although the intended victim ultimately eludes his grasp.
Not only that, but the sadsack defendant seems not to have noticed that my own review of the the film bears scant resemblance to the Boston Globe's.
Very weak performance on his part, but vaguely amusing in its abject hopelessness. I give it a D+
The Internet is full of people like your antagonist here. This churl and his ilk use the Internet help themselves feel important and better than others.So do I but I skip any reviews of movies I intend to see. It's really easy to do. And you have to make up your own mind about things that way
If that isn't ego masturbation then I don't know what is. Now he thinks he's better than you are because he can make up his own mind, while you, no doubt, would fail to grasp the meaning of this or any other movie without benefit of newspaper review columns.
You would do best to just leave these anonymous keyboard kommandos to the frustration of their unsatisfying lives, born of personal inadequacies and impotence. Don't become a pawn in their therapy.
You managed to form an opinion about me without checking with Duncan Shepperd first. BRAVO. Granted it is an idiotic one but a step in the right direction. "Only the first paragraph" LOL. At least you are amusing. I behaved like the bullies in Apocolypto? Thanks for the lingering scent of milk in my nose. That goodness I wasn't eating a cheese sandwich. "falsified the evidence"??? Yep you have lost it.
