I really wish there was a way to ban posts that ...


All over the place there are all these comments to the effect that "this movie is the best movie ever made" or "this actor or actress is the best actor, or the most beautiful, or the handsomest".

You would think that anyone over the age of 10 would be mature enough to have something more intelligent to say, but it seems not.

this is one of, if not the, best observations about 'best of' posts i've ever read.

Unless it's Goodfellas, because in that particular case it is the best movie ever made. At least, best American movie.

But if that happened then one third of the posts on this General board would disappear !

PS: You forgot to mention the 'What is your favourite blah blah blah ?' posts.

it is an entertainment site

Oh it's more than that.

I call shenanigans on your post...these are rather smart posters here

Prove your claim or shush

He posted something about me making a "lunatic decree" because I didn't include "imho."
It should be obvious when someone posts a comment, it is indeed an opinion only, not a command from on high.
Plus I think it was an even-handed comment, no flame added.

reply

Yeah, what idiot would come to a movie forum to discuss movies and actors they like?

Nutters.

He man action figures were the best toys ever made!

^ This man knows

Wrong. Everyone knows Cabbage Patch Kids were the best toys ever.

reply

Pfft whereā€™s their Castle Grayskull? Hmmm Allaby???

Cabbage Patch Kids indeed!

reply

They don't need a Castle Grayskull. They have the whole cabbage patch to play in.

damned needy orphans

The good news is you can adopt them and then they won't be orphans anymore.

Seriously, it was such a weird concept. I had a friend who was really into them at school and even paid for a doll to go on ā€œvacationā€. Basically she posted it off and it came back with holiday photos of it sunbathing etc. Even as a child I found that disturbing lol

Everyone thought those things would be worth money some day. Suckers....and same with the beanie baby collectors.

reply

Uhhhhhh...The Transformers would like to kindly disagree.

reply

Actually you have a good point.

reply

They were complex and highly detailed, as well as some were actually die-cast metal! Pretty impressive for a toy line. I really wish I'd have kept mine.

reply

To me films, acting, music even food isn't a contest as it all comes down to personal taste in the end so yeah it is pretty silly to claim an actor or film etc is "the best" as what might be considered the best for some is absolute crap to others.

reply

Tell that to Tina Turner.

Y'know, you have to wonder if You're Simply Absolute Crap would have been as popular on radio.

reply

"you're simply the worst" probably could have worked.

reply

I think it makes more sense to say something like "XXX is my favorite actor" or "XXX is my favorite movie," but that's just me.

reply

That is really what they are saying but whether it's due to a lack of intelligence on their end or arrogance they use the word "best" which just bores most people.

reply

Yeah, itā€™s tiresome...just donā€™t click, thatā€™s all I got...

Cheers!
