[QUOTE=bdd458;44060987]But here's the thing: they're not a school grade. It's a 10 point grading system. There is no 'passing' or 'failing'. 1 is absolute shit and 10 is absolute godlike. 5 is in the middle, alright but has some flaws. You have to look at it like how they grade essays on AP tests.[/QUOTE] And most companies can buy good reviews.
Movie, show, and game reviews are all stupid. So are the "movie summaries" everywhere, for example on netflix, which are generally written in a way that ruins the first half or more of the movie. I don't know why I should care about some random dude's opinion.

You're supposed to take the opinions of multiple people with different preferences and use that as a guideline for whether you would enjoy something or not.

Movies and shows are personal business for me I guess.

And despite the fact that I never watch reviews, I don't find it difficult to pick out movies that I end up liking. My entire netflix DVD queue has been rock solid so far and I've just been running off of whims, covers, and vague ideas.

I also don't doubt that these random dudes know their stuff and are likely more into film theory and all that than I am, which is pretty cool, but yeah. (automerge lol.)
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;44060977]Except review scores are not about being 'done right', they are subjective opinions which take objective things, like performance, into consideration. As such 5/10 should be the average, as it is in every other form of review.[/QUOTE] I think scores for games is pointless and far too inconsistent. Plus it's kinda difficult to assign a numbered rating to a game anyways and just because a game gets a high rating by reviewers doesn't remotely mean you'll like it. (See Meatcritic for some games where the review scores and the user scores can differ by up to 4-5 full points.)
[QUOTE=R-money;44062652]dark comedy is the best comedy[/QUOTE] Any recommendations?
[QUOTE=JustExtreme;44065215]Any recommendations?[/QUOTE] For British dark comedy definitely look out for 'Four Lions'. It's about four suicide bombers who plan on blowing up a fun run. And they'll all pretty much retarded. But anyway. I really don't care for the song 'Hotel California'. I consider it one of the most overrated pieces of music out there.

I think the Kanye West version of Harder Better Faster Stronger is just as good as the original if not better

Each of the Mass Effect 3 endings after the Extended Cut was added were great in their own, unique ways. The "Happy Ending Mod" that some guy released a while back was a pitiful attempt at making the perfect ending to the trilogy, and I feel like I need to dip my eyeballs in bleach after seeing it for myself.
LMAO pics is literally the [I]worst[/I] thread in all of facepunch for a lot of reasons.

I can't believe I wasted two minutes of my life watching that gif.
That GIF was there because it was on the IMGUR homepage.

I honestly don't think LMAO pics is that bad. I don't really "LMAO" there though, a more accurate title would be "Mildly amusing" pics.

I like how milkandcooki posted that, then went back to posting in lmao pics right after.
