Generally speaking, if I think a film has a very big flaw, then I'd be unlikely to give it a high or even average rating.

For example, I think Raiders of the Lost Ark is xenophobic. I'd probably...

So how do you rate your movies? Is it based on how much you enjoyed the film, or how much you got out of it. Or do you look at it without taking those things into consideration?

Re: Movie Tab II

In my Blu-ray collection (about 300 films), I have 39 films I'd give http://www.movieforums.com/images/popcorn/5box.gif to.

Although there are many I don't own I'd give that rating to.

Have you seen any of Tati's other films?

Re: Would you support the idea of a black actor playing James Bond?

I have no problem with a black James Bond, or a black Batman, which people seem to be getting mad about.

Bond's ethnicity does not play a big role in his back story (correct me if I'm wrong). If...

I gave it 20 points, Harry gave it 19, so it only needed 10 more points to make the list.

I wonder who that was, though.

I totally agree. I don't much care for the Gigolo Joe character, but that lines is by far the most thought provoking in the film. And then he gets reeled in like a fish (another striking image).
