oh yeah, gatsby, decent, not amazing. I thought the 2010 rap music throughout the party scenes in the first 30 minutes was ridiculous for a period piece, and the casting wasn't a good fit imo. it's faithful to the book though from what i remember.

I've learned to not argue with idiots because they bring you down to their own level of stupidity..

well, you should know. whenever you do find that hole you crawled out of though, please lock yourself in. it'd be a huge favor to the human race.

thanks in advance.

All I'm saying is that the five star scale isn't used for movies, it's used for cars, hotels, restaurants. You ever heard of a five star hotel? Or a five star restaurant?

That's all kids. There's your movie lesson of the day.

wtf are you going on about. as long as the rater says x out of 4 or y out of 5 the reader on a Skins site gets the idea. I understood what the other posters were saying who the heck cares if US standard is out of 4 or 5.

Lol I gotta agree with you. I think the 5 star system is the most widely used but its not a standard system. People use whatever system they want.

All I'm saying is movies are four stars and other things are five stars. Just letting posters know that they're misusing the star rating system. I prefer the 10 point imdb scale or the four star scale. Five star scale I use for restaurants and hotels like every other normal person does.



On a side note I saw the watch. Not as awful as I thought. Got a couple of laughs. I'd give it 2 stars out of 4. Or a 5 out of 10. Or 3.14 (pi) out of 5 on your misused five star scale

[mredskins]

CultBrennan59 you are a flipping joke. That is your lesson for the day.

Also the standard scale for rating posters on a message board is 5 stars.

CultBrennan59 = .5* out of 5*

Only CB59 has the power to create a dispute in the movie thread.

I didn't really like epic that much. I'd give it 1 1/2 stars out of 4.

I hope I don't have to see my movie thread get closed over this nonsense, everyone's got their own rating system with the same concepts in mind, end of discussion.

[CultBrennan59]

Haha I'm just messing with you all.


Except you mredskins and That Guy!

[mredskins]

BTW just checked my FiOS guide all shows/ movies are rated on 5 stars.
