Take this for what it's worth but ....


If there is any one thing that drags any film forum into the mud it is the immature posts such at 'it sucks' or 'it was boring' with no explaination.

It just leads to bickering back and forth and besides that it just looks juvenile and devoid of any thought or intelligence.

If that's the way you want to be percieved - then stop reading now - words can't do much about that. A troll is a troll.

Personally i believe that if you have a strong statement to make, back it up. If you dont like something - articulate why. If you can't do it intelligently - why would you want people to know that ?

I'm very much interested in other peoples views - i have learned to see certain things under a different light when someone is ellequent and heartfelt enough to give a decent critique.

All i get from 'IT SUCKS' is that the person or their opinions really don't count for shit and their posts arent worth the time to read them.

I also hate 'it was boring' without somekind of explaination.

Boring why ? because you didnt understand it .. and/or you are suffering from ADD ? You have a problem with character developement and careful pacing ?

I would find a symposium on genetic engineering boring because i dont have the background or education thus the intellectual capacity to appreciate it.

If you dont quantify why you found it boring then i'll asume you fit into one of the catagories above.

I know that for the most part this little sermon is either preaching to the choir - or falling on deaf ears.

I'm just hoping to catch the people in between.

This is a public forum where people come to discuss films etc. If you cant contribute anything of worth, why bother ?
For the reaction ? That would be pretty sad, shallow, and pathetic, no ?

People have always commented on the 'good posters' and they are always the ones that contribute something solid.
I like the good posters .. they are worth reading- even if i dont agree with their views ..

for a couple of examples .. Bwind is doing the ideal kind of review .. as is Rubenmania .. and some others ..
The people who take the time to explain their views .. not just go for the cheap badboy bullshit..

again .. i may be completely alone in this ...
