:Well, that's ehhhh -- quite peculiar. My attitude couldn't be more different then: whenever I post
:something on my own, not requested by somebody, it is always the stuff I've seen and can personally
:vouch for / recommend. And even when people request crap (which happens VERY seldom here), I won't
:post it even if it's easy to get. If you don't watch movies you post, how do you know then what is
:good and what is crap? )
Just because I don't watch them now doesn't mean that I have never watched them
before. One of the perks of growing old is that there have been many 'nights at
the movies'.
And I am not pompous enough to think that my cinematic tastes are more worthy
than the tastes of others. Everyone has a fondness for a particular film that
they would never admit to anyone.
:I mean, at least two-thirds of the films I get I deem to be not worthy of posting here, because
:they turn out to be -- well, not that good.
Like all artistic criticism, that is your subjective opinion.
:And what's the point of posting even more crap than it's already plenty of here (Dutch bastards
:case in point)? Otherwise ya might as well just re-post Harry Potter and James Bond movies every
:couple of months.
Quality and repetition are not synonymous.
:Also, don't ya think you're missing out on some really good experiences, ideas, stories etc. by not
:watching movies you post? I mean, I wanna get some good movies not for the sake of owning them, but
:to watch them. And the whole point of sharing them with others is to spread the joy and knowledge
:around, perhaps improve the quality of people's lives, no?
'Spreading the love' and improving the lives of others is not my job.
:Anyway, sorry for rambling -- I was just mightily surprised by that announcement of yours )
