 Re: Your 2012 top ten's average Metacritic score? Algren wrote: You can't see it? Not too bright are you, Gophes.  My point is obviously that you are a film snob. I haven't seen Skyfall either but I know that it's far more commercial than The Master and others on your list (hence the film snob comment). Anyway, it was only some light banter. No need to get your panties in a twist. I'm sure you've come across this before. Why should I care what film is more commercial? Skyfall's a very good movie but the Master resonated with me more. And if you're defining a 'film snob' by liking the movies that are least commercial, how do you justify the seven movies on my list that were successful commercially? If it's light banter, then it's light banter. But you're the only one I've come across here or any forum who goes out of their way to call me a snob. baumer doesn't even do that.

Re: Your 2012 top ten's average Metacritic score? Wait a minute, Gopher, how long have you been posting on BOM?

It's light banter, man. It doesn't feel like that now, of course, because I've had to explain in, but it is. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: Your 2012 top ten's average Metacritic score? I thought you, Gopher, hadn't been around too long. I stopped posting on BOM by 2009, so I don't know your reputation there, just at filmgasm and here, which when compared to everyone else, I would hardly call you a snob.
But this brings me to another issue, for more in need of addressing:
Algren! You posted on BOM during the years of 2009-2011? Muthafucka!

How do we define a snob, though? To me that word implies that you're actively trying to dislike movies you watch, or that you object anything beloved by the masses. In my case that categorically isn't true. I only see movies I think I'll like.

I posted on BOM from 2003-2011. I posted here too from 2004-2005. But I stopped being interested in movies from 2007-08, I was just pissed off at the offerings in those years. Then when I came back to it in 2009 I had forgotten about my WOKJ account until around 2011. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: Your 2012 top ten's average Metacritic score? It would've made my top 10 last year. This was a VERY good year for movies.

Re: Your 2012 top ten's average Metacritic score? I hope it's as good as everybody says it is. I don't want to be let down when I see it on Jan 21.

Re: Your 2012 top ten's average Metacritic score? I'd say Oblivion as it comes out later on in the year.
or
aesthetically
I'd take out the Last Stand as it is the only one with images.

Re: Your 2012 top ten's average Metacritic score? Yeah, I thought 4 was overkill when I did it to be honest.
