Edited on Mon Jan-23-06 02:33 AM by NNguyenMD
are commenting on almost EVERY SINGLE movie listed on there?

Everyone one of them, everything gets accused of having a liberal bias. These peopel on there are paranoid!!

Oh yeah...and almost none of them have seen the movies they comment on.

1. I gave up on IMDb
I used to post a lot on the Fahrenheit 9/11 board when the movie came out. After about a month, it became more or less a politics board with very little about the movie - but there were a lot of liberals as well as conservatives (and trolls on both ends of spectrum). After the 2004 election, it devolved into just a bunch of nonsense. I left because I got so disgusted with it.

The boards are a mess. So are the reviews, which are almost as bad.

Someone should get up a petition or something to get imdb to ban nuisance commenters and reviewers.

I've seen review after review that seems to consist solely of this:

"
OMG OMG I can't believe that anyone would want to seee this movie, this movie was teh suck, i just hated it, i hated anyone who sees it and likes it and anyone who likes this movie should not like it and should not be allowed to see movies and propole should not be allowed to make movies like this adn it was really bad and I hated it and it sucked and OMG OMG OMG this movie was so bad I hated it so much i pucked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!

P.S. > !!!!!!!!!
"

I'm sure they've got a Markov chainer in there somewhere and imdb just generate these things automatically to make other people write reviews in defence.

Having said that, the exclamation mark incontinence problem does seem to be ubiquitous across the Right of the Net, so maybe it's real people.

4. I don't read their reviews anymore.
The only reason I ever go there at all these days is to settle an argument about who was in what movie when. :D

6. YES.
Reading the IMDB forums always end up pissing me off... if not for all of the RW crap, then for the morons (morans?) who need every subtlety of a film explained to them like children.
