It's Full of Stars

Ok. This requires some delicate maneuvering. Someone who shall remain nameless unless he or she chooses to respond here became a Netflix friend and thus learned all the secrets of my ratings. Now comes the ridicule.



I gave Catwoman 3 stars.

Don't start the intervention yet! See, I give three stars to movies that entertained me, even if they're god-awful pieces of crap, which, I do agree, Catwoman was (other 3 star examples - The Beastmaster, Billy Madison, Earth Girls are Easy and The Fantastic Four). I think the problem is that I rarely watch movies that I don't enjoy on some level. I can generally tell when I'm not going to like 'em. I don't think I have many one or two stars at all. A quick check reveals Anchorman, Lord of War, and Red Corner in the 2 star category, and I'll stand by those. I couldn't even really laugh at those, much less, with them. I'm sure I'll get angry huffs of indignation about Anchorman lovers though. I just couldn't take it.

Ya gotta admit, if you watched Catwoman, I bet you laughed. Maybe not where the filmmakers wanted you to, but I bet you did :)

I don't believe you that there is actually a movie entitled "The Beastmaster"

that is ridiculous

Oh, believe it. The best actors involved were two ferrets.

ahh yes, he admits his sick love for bad movies...

still, 3 stars? z and i think they need a "i kinda liked it" score of 2.5 stars.

and i won't even start on the movies i see in your queue!

i really liked the beastmaster! i would have given it 4 stars for entertainment value :) the ferrets garnered much attention and now have spawned a nation of ferret owners - i do believe there is a correlation.

Dude. Just dude.

Oh, but wait. The Beastmaster was pretty cool. I certainly couldn't come up with the name "Dar" from memory. Nope. Not at all.
