Film Ranking: Selective Cinephile

You know your films. You know your directors, actors, actresses. You know what it takes to make a film. You know your film history. You know what it takes to make one.

But ... you don't neccessarily watch them anymore.
You enjoyed films much more before and one thing lead to another and you started becoming fascinated in the industry more. With more obligations in life, your fascination took priority over what got you into it in the first place.

Now, you weigh what is worth seeing and what is not. The decision may not always result in a positive experience but it does say that you're out there to ensure you enjoy your experience, and not just experiement with them anymore.

That's spot on, then again you know me quite well.

My interest in the industry is starting to lessen, i am trying to get back to seeing movies.

For awhile I was reading more about movies then seeing them.

I have seen more movies this month then I had in the previous 4 months, and now off to see No Country For Old Men.

Film Ranking: Unrankable

One would think that this is a cheap attempt at me getting out of ranking you cause i dont know what do say. But its not. I honestly, more often than not, spend time looking at your avatar that i forget to even read what you have to say. Thats the honest truth.

bABA cannot provide a ranking as there as been a grave misunderstanding. This thread only rates those who seek my superior knowledge. As far as I know (though my pet monkeys could be lying to me), i sent out no request whatsoever for anyone to approach this thread, much less ask me about my opinion. This thread is completely voluntary and I shant be the person who has pressured someone into doing this.

Oh, come on. Surely I at least rate this? :disgust:

I guess I really should do the top 100 thing shouldn't I?

Meee. Having your film tastes graded is way more interesting than yet another personality one for the 23423423th time.

Dear baba,

We at the TonyMontana Institute for Technology and Stuff have received your denial to analyze Tony's film taste. Unfortunately, this is unprecedented and we do not have a form letter to respond, so we must take time out of our busy schedule to do so personally.

We would like to point out that you posted this in your initial post:

"Now lets break things down and grade you on different criteria"

When Tony read this he was very excited that you wanted to grade his film taste. Being that he was the one reading this post, when you said "now lets... grade you on different criteria" he assumed the "you" was him. He took this as an offer from you to grade him on his film taste.

Tony did not realize that this was an offer to beg you to do it. That would be silly. It would be common sense to assume that when one makes a post of this nature they are offering to analyze you, and not offering to have a person beg for it to be done.

We have decided not to bother Tony with this slight misunderstanding, and look forward to you analyzing his most excellent film taste.

TonyMontana Institute for Technology and Stuff

Dear members of the tonymontana ranch

We, at bABA's camp feel that Mr. TonyMontana was never invited to take a look at the thread in question. He did so on his own accord. bABA had provided an invitation open to all and absolutely no request to anyone to partake in this ordeal.

We feel that based upon the countless other threads that bABA has created over time, someone with a slightest amount of intelligence woudl have deciphered automatically that the request to be judged comes from the person who WANTS to be judged, and not from bABA himself. We expected and felt that as part of this forum and through his various contributions, Mr. TonyMontana had the relevant IQ. Clearly, our team of scientests who spend countless hours analysing each one of you will have to go ahead and reassess this situation. Someone may even get fired.

Thereby, we extend Mr. TonyMontana our sincerest apology for expecting him to meet a certain IQ criteria that he clearly can't and wish to use this letter to communicate that bABA has not forced you to take any part in this thread but if mr. TonyMontana is interested, that he may send us a request. bABA never denies such requests.

We did not feel the need to burden bABA with this issue. Plese kindly reply back to us if you feel the need to communicate back.

Yours Sincerely
Members of the bABA ranch.

Dear Members of the Baba Ranch (MBR),

We have rang TonyMontana and apprised him of the current situation. He has responded and requested the following be relayed to baba:

"Go For It".

Upon checking the previous replies in this thread, baba has responded to others who have said "go for it", after being led to believe that he wanted "it". Since he has responded to others who have allowed him to "go for it", we expect the same treatment for Mr. Montana.

We thank you for your time in this matter, and glad that we could come to an exciting dramatic conclusion to this event!

Mr. Tits McGee
Customer Service Rep
the TonyMontana Institute for Technology and Stuff (TITS)

Film Rank: Autistic

No seriously. I don't get you. When i usually read your stuff, i do not have to agree with your opinion. But you seem to have a sound mind. Then out of nowhere, you show your love for crappy horror films, new and old, and stupid not even funny movies like Harold and Kumar for reasons beyond my comprehension and i'm left standing wondering W T F. I mean. What the fuck is wrong with you man!

And before someone comes and tells me how politically incorrect it is to say autistic, i've got 2 words for you

fuck off


Are you fucking kidding me? This is the best you got? You must have been busy or something while doing me.

Film Ranking: Passive Aggressive

That ranking is provided to you even though I'm not completely sure about what it means. However, like most people who do not visit forums, you watch films mainly for your own entertainment but are part of the forum ...... JUST IN CASE.

There are times in life that people need to discuss films and sadly, those outlets aren't always available. You're not very interested but once in a while, that time comes for you and whether thats an argument or a discussion, you will choose to jump in because thats what you were here for, to begin with.

Film Ranking: Philosophical Viewer

You may disagree but I personally believe you consider film to be a medium of art that transcends quite a few others. You view a film from the point of view of finding a deeper meaning in them, even if it is just Freddy Got Fingered that you are watching. You do not like a movie if you do not find what you are looking for. you enjoy the film if you found what you wanted. You are impressed by films that offer you more.
