I just want to say that if I say a movie sucks it doesn't mean that I am saying you suck for liking it.....
That said, I am all for a little bit of criticism and healthy debate, its part of the selection process and gets people to challenge their original lists. It's not a bad thing to critique people's choices if it sparks debate and its certainly not a bad thing for people to change their mind now and then.
I am enjoying the process and debate/ opinions, but equally I don't see any harm in calling movies out for the shit storm that they are. I'm happy to challenge peoples opinions if I don't agree, that's the point of having the debate in the first place. Its nothing personal and doesn't reflect my opinions on any individual and I certainly don't mean any harm or disrespect to anyone. People can look back through at some of the movies I have backed that haven't gotten a single vote, some of them probably people have seen and didn't like, some of them people probably haven't seen. It really doesn't matter what people make of your opinion, its better to have one and get a dialogue going....
In short, I am going to continue to hate on DBS and hope it doesn't make it into the top 20. :p
My own personal opinion on movies like Deep Blue Sea and a few of the other movies I consider questionable, is that you can like a movie without it actually being any good but that doesn't mean it belongs in the top 20 movies. The reason I am challenging and neg voting it is more to do with the fact that I think it's a weak choice than me criticising anyone for liking it. Example being, I had The Video Dead in my top 80s list. When it came to backing movies I didn't make a case for it, because I know it doesn't belong, I just love the movie and wanted to represent it in my list. The movie I did make a case for was The Changeling because I fully believed it to be amongst the best of the decade and deserving of a spot.
