Toasted CheeseTrue, but we all type how we all type. be that a good thing or not. I am just more into stats than your average person. no harm done. p.s. come to think of it... not all that long ago around here my stats actually came in handy to the user Vits because I can't remember the exact stuff on the topic but I think it was something to do with a score I gave a movie and he thought it was not that high of a score until I explained to him my scoring system and then he realized it was a higher score than he thought it was. I think it was something I scored a 7/10 which comes back to my general point that a 7/10 score might be somewhat common for others, so it's of lower value, but a 7/10 for me is of higher value because I don't hand those out much etc. Any examples? p.s. but I think some people will think I am over-indulged by giving anything more than a very basic answer and for certain kinds of topics I tend to like to give more than just a very simple answer. so it still comes back to what I was saying... for those who like it, great. for those who don't, simply skip over reading it.

Toasted CheeseI let my score do the talking. also, you seem to be obsessed with saying I am "self-indulgent" etc. it's just some stats and opinions is all and I just feel pretty strongly about some core things when it comes to movies etc. also, I do think at least some people have a mild interest in what I say as I doubt 100% of people around here think what I say is totally useless. sure, I am not the best writer in the world by any means which is why I tend to be more stats oriented as my general thoughts of a movie I can translate well into a score and in that regard I think I do pretty well, and probably better than most, as I think some people don't use the 1 through 10 rating scale too well and tend to bunch too many movies too highly instead of using the more common sense method which is average is a 5/10 and then things scale up and down fairly evenly from there. most movies ain't going to be much either way of average and my ratings tend to reflect this. But at the end of the day... a persons rating should sum up their thoughts about a movie if they have a decent rating system like I (and some others around here) do.

What you don't appear to comprehend, is that you say a lot (perhaps too much at times), without saying anything. That is your self-indulgent and self-involved perspective, as though you think others are going to be interested in your ratings system and what each score means, when they aren't. Actually, I do like reading all that. Since he told us a while ago what the numbers mean to him (which isn't the same as me nor a lot of critics), his explanations help me understand why he chooses the specific number.

I like Jake but I can't abide this, nothing will match the greatness of Swayze, Elliot, and Gazzara.

I think it's a fun action film but nothing more.

It's the quintessential dumb "guy movie." It's great.

MST3K loved to reference this movie. I was fond of it, mostly because of blind guitar player Jeff Healey, one of the greatest guitar players that ever lived. I loved Jeff Healey and his music too.

He must be the guy who says, "I used to f-ck guys like you in prison."
