Oh, Gabe...low on self-esteem? 
I thought everyone was entitled to have their own opinion about things, even about your opinion. hehe. Just kidding... I know how it feels. I like a lot of films that most people hate, so for me it's even worse.

Perhaps you guys should bring back the number system so people that can't read your reviews correctly can tell if you like a movie or not. I never cared for the numbers, but the simple-minded ones may need it.
F**k the numbered system. Rating films by numbers is completely arbitrary. That's about the only good thing that's come from our webmaster's lack of enthusiasm. Read the bloody reviews you simpletons!
Exactly.
Everyone has their opinions, I can absolutely love a movie and an professional (merely opinion if you ask me anyways) movie critic could give it an F.
There have been many movies that I've seen in my (relatively short) life that critics have touted as A+ incredible movies and yet to me they were horrible or just mediocre.
and vice versa.

This thread is just here to prove I don't hate everything I watch, or even a majority of the things I watch.
On another subject I'm happy most of you understand that a review is simply an opinion. Idealy it's an educated opinion, but at least it should be balanced. Finding the negative in the positive and the positive in the negative is part of the job. To have a black and white view containing only THE BEST THING EVAR or WORSE THAN RAPE is counterproductive, and is a disservice to everyone - the artists, the critic, and the reader.

That scene might be the only good thing about Uncle Buck...
Not a fan of giant pancakes or toothpick accidents I take it?
