I'm a bit confused. First of all, I'm not sure where you got all of those fractions from. And secondly, 6.9 is somewhere between a D and an F on that scale. My Sarcasm-Meter Broke, but just in case some idiot might think you are being serious. This is for them: There are 5 letters in the grading scale and 10 numbers. A = 10 to 9 B = 8 to 7 C = 6 to 5 D = 4 to 3 F = 2 to 1 6.9 would just be lower than a B so it would be a C+. I don't want to have to explain decimals to anybody so just take my word for it. Now before the people in the back think "Well, back when I failed out of Middle School, F's numbers was a lot bigger. When I studied all night and got a 32 I still got an F." Well School Grades and Movie grades don't work the same. This will go over your head but back then 100 to 90 was A, 90 to 80 was a B, 80 to 70 was a C, 70 to 60 was a D and 60 to 0 an F. I know it was unfair you studied so hard and got a 32, but there just had to be a "high" cut off for failure. I mean, think about it this way, Math Grading is like trying to get your Cousins-Sister-Nieces to fuck you. If you went around the trailer park and asked 100 of them and only 32 said yes then that's a failure. I mean your father/Uncle didn't fuck his Mother-Aunt, Sissy Wife Amber Lynn, Sissy Wife Billi Jo, Auntie Grandma, Cousin Shirley, Big-A-Mama Gerd, Methy Jane, Track Mark Terri, Lazy Eyed Susan, The Gimp in the Shed, and Uncle Jimmy to have 100 children/sibling/cousins just for them to say no to you. It's assumed that you should have better success. Now think of Movie Grading as actually trying to get your 10 sister/nieces pregnant. If you get 3 them then that's passing. It ain't great, but you did your job. If you got 6 to 7 you did better than most. If you get 9 to 10 you are doing great like the Pharaohs of old. This was slightly inspired by trying to teach math in college to rural North Carolinian 7th graders for 2 weeks. I was a Social Studies/History major, but for some reason every Education Major had to do 2 week tutoring in Core Classes to Middle Schoolers. There was probably less incest and more meth, but I'm not sure. I have a degree in Mathematics and Statistics. I am not American though. Thanks for your input - It did nearly go over my head.

Figure you saying " I'm not sure where you got all of those fractions from" was you intentionally getting the allocation of the 10 numbers to 5 letters wrong. 9/10 meaning 9 to 10. What percentage of questions do you have to get right to get a passing grade?

Grade 9 - over 90% Grade 8 - A* - over 85% Grade 7 - A - 70%-82% Grade 6 - B - 50%-70% Grade 5 - C - 40%-50% etc.

There are some slight differences between districts/states here, btw. One School System I was in it was this: A - 100-93 B - 92-85 C - 84-77 D - 76-70 F - 69-0 The other A - 100-90 B - 89-80 C - 79-70 D - 69-60 E (not F) - 59-0

It seems like most people thinks Captain Marvel is an ok movie not a great movie, not an awful movie just an ok movie.

You sound like a very stable and secure individual Brie Larson is symptomatic of the cancer eating through society. You might be happy to shave your head and wear a cap, not everyone else is. Don't worry though, none of this impacts upon your ability to enjoy the movie. Theaters will allow you to take a nice soft cushion to sit on.

She said she isn't interested in what white dudes have to say about a movie for black people. By that rationale, she should only be interested in what women have to say about Captain Wamen as the movie isn't for anyone else. She and D$sney are very lucky that relatively few people are aware of the shit she has been saying and doing for the last year or so.

Of course not, because only an idiot would come to that conclusion. Here it is But I guess you still won't watch it.
