Really, what can be said when someone posts "Saw Movie X, 8/10 LOL"?
I've mentioned before how useless the "x out of 10" rating system is since we have no clue what the "10" might be...Citizen Kane or Paul Blart: Mall Cop?
Makes a difference.
It also matters why you liked (or disliked) a movie since it's possible to love a crap film for good reasons- and vice-versa- but most folks don't bother telling us anything about their reasoning, so basically, you can respond with either "You're a moron" or "I sooo totally agree!".
Most of this thread is just Twitter without the immediacy..."Got up, took a dump, went and saw Transformers2, felt unclean...".
Of course, it doesn't help that by and large the moviegoing public are uncritical fools and the industry panders to the lowest common denominator (hence, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, etc., etc, ad nauseum).
