It doesn't make a lot of sense but I suppose that's the risk you take when you rate someone's favorite movie 2/5 stars? Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if people who tend to watch a lot of gay/lesbian-themed films get targeted as well, which I've rented plenty of, like one of my favorites, "Mysterious Skin." <BR/><BR/>There's no accounting for some people's irrationality, especially on the internet. I really do appreciate your encouragement, though. I suppose you're right, the only thing to do is to keep writing reviews. I know you've given detailed write-ups to films I would have never had a clue about otherwise ("Spasmo" being one), so I only hope I can do the same for others.<BR/><BR/>Keep writing!HKFanaticnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-79306289424977767382009-04-02T12:15:00.000-04:002009-04-02T12:15:00.000-04:00Wow, man, you're not kidding!

It looks like 5 or 6 assholes really have it out for you, but I don't know why; your reviews are very well-thought-out and enjoyable, from your defenses of Lovecraft's writing in light of bad film adaptations to your appreciations of Shane Black screenplays. I tried to give you a bit of a vote boost, hope that helps.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-56020030703697585572009-03-31T19:05:00.000-04:002009-03-31T19:05:00.000-04:00Thanks!

I've been a member since 2004, nearing about 300 reviews. <BR/><BR/>I've had a few contrary opinions on a few films, so I guess they're coming back to haunt me. Sometimes I feel like I may come across as too ornery, but I suppose that all goes back to the internet being nearly incapable of conveying sarcasm or good-natured-ness. <BR/><BR/>What I appreciate is how you have reviews that make me laugh throughout, usually the Italian flicks like "Spasmo," but then you go and write something like your heartfelt commentary on "Raging Bull."

I encounter the 'not helpful' bombing from time to time, and generally I think it can be traced to my (not even usually outright trashing, but) accurate criticisms of films that these people love, or my love for films that they hate, or whatever. I guess they have no sense of humor, because sometimes then, it would seem, they'll bomb your other reviews out of spite. There's a lot of negative energy out there. I guess there's nothing you can do, except keep writing reviews. If you give me your netflix reviewer name, I'd be happy to give you a boost in the votes to combat those d-bags!Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-90109940696807733682009-03-31T17:38:00.000-04:002009-03-31T17:38:00.000-04:00Hey man - your reviews at Netflix are an endless s...Hey man - your reviews at Netflix are an endless source of joy and entertainment to me. I'm a fellow review poster, and lately I've come to notice that a day or two after I post a review, I immediately have a listing of "0 out of 3 people found this helpful." <BR/><BR/>This keeps happening for about the past 15-20 reviews I've posted. It makes me feel like I've been specifically targeted by a few people, for no apparent reason. It's made my reviewer rank slip from around 231 to 291 this past week. <BR/><BR/>Now I don't really care about having a high rank but you can understand how frustrating it is for people to keep attacking you out of some misplaced grudge rather than the quality of your writing.<BR/><BR/>Have you ever encountered anything like this? I'm not really sure what to do.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, man, and keep posting your reviews...it's rare I read anything that's side-splitting and insightful at the same time, but you manage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-94822435989614982009-03-31T15:02:00.000-04:002009-03-31T15:02:00.000-04:00Look no further- a kind soul has posted it on yout...Look no further- a kind soul has posted it on youtube in eleven parts, starting here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-upOg_IS78&feature=relatedSean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-23216809956115041532009-03-31T14:56:00.000-04:002009-03-31T14:56:00.000-04:00i'm a big tommy lee jones fan, and you sir just ma...i'm a big tommy lee jones fan, and you sir just made my day, now i gotta find thisskeelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03696578436981975071noreply@blogger.com
