IMDB rivals newgrounds in stupid reviews

[rtil]

now there's no doubt that newgrounds harnesses the potential to destroy people's ambitions with an unstoppable torrent of 13-year olds whose only goals are to suppress their unusable sexual desires and social ineptitudes by drooling over hentai and mario parodies, and shunning people who actually put effort into their work by leaving them pathetic excuses for reviews.

but today i went to IMDB to read what some people thought about 'no country for old men' and i forgot about the absolute stupidity of the imdb community. they take 'i hate w because x, and y is much better because z' to whole new levels. they throw logic and common sense out the window, and fight to the death over petty arguments about why their list of best films is far superior to their fellow forum-goer.

people rate a movie with a '1' because they feel 'compelled to balance out the absurd high score' of a movie on imdb as if its top 200 rated films list was the most coveted compiling of films ever created, then write an essay about why. then they get baited by a hundred people that thought the movie was the best movie of all time and why they are an idiot. they respond until they decide everyone they are arguing with is uneducated and doesn't deserve their time. rinse and repeat.

if you dont' have an account on imdb you can't see their forums - and i would suggest never signing up. i've had an account there for a really long time, and on occasion i'll check out a movie page. i cannot help but check the discussion boards. they are NEVER civil and there are always a handful of trolls either having a good time or sincerely believe they can change people's minds by shoving their prestigious ideas down their throats.

seriously, imdb is like newgrounds, but up the average age up by ten or twenty years. but they're still living in their mother's basements, except now they believe they have refined taste in film. how i don't know. but they are still bored and they are still flamebaiting all day. it's sad.

btw no country for old men was a really good movie

IMDB

I love those forums. It's the funniest place on the planet. Grown men arguing to the death about this shit. It's fantastic and hilarious, and awesome.

I've been saying for a long time now that IMDB is for film what NewGrounds is for animation, and I guess you're on the same page.



Still I've been a member for ages, and it is funny, funny shit.

I went and saw No Country For Old Men with my grandparents, i was the only one that liked it. True story.

As for retarded reviews, i dont think ive ever seen any intelligent community focused around one particular thing, whether it be movies, flash or music. The internet is dumb.

[MRat]

It's not just the internet, it's people.

[zomfgbie]

ill probably sign up now just cause film critics are some of the snobbiest people ive ever known

i never read film reviews or anything anyway cause I disagree with everyone over how good a film is. i hated lord of the rings, for example,

[Crabarms]

"It stinks"- the critic.

[trent bortknob]

what is no country for old men about

[Gerkinman]

Its to hard to explain without ruining it, in a nutshell, good guy finds cash, bad guys chase good guy. Only more complicated and arty.

[trent bortknob]

pulp fiction was better because z

[rtil]

the actual plot has nothing to do with money. it has to do with how much our lives are influenced by chance and it decides the paths of our lives
