I would seriously question your wits.
In any case, boredom is as valid a reason to dislike something as any other and everybody uses a different set of criteria when determining their ratings.

Still haven't seen Shakespeare. It has never peaked my interest. That or English Patient.

Why do people take other people's negative opinions and ratings of movies they like so personal?
Minio started out great with that simple post where he said, "stop watching movies," but then it went south like mayo on a hot day.

Mkay, I see I cannot neither convince you, or get any other reason than boredom from you.
I hope I didn't offend you.

There's no reason to make this personal. Just accept that he didn't like it at all and move on.

Wait a minute, you're telling me that Beauty and the Beast is art house?
All these years I've been feuding with the art house mafia and it turns out I'm actually a connoisseur of the exact type of films they love.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic JayDee, but I think he's probably referring to the '46 version.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on Bernie, Mark. I wouldn't necessarily say I disagree with your rating, I thought it was a very strange film, a fascinating blend of actingand documentary that I wasn't sure what emotions I was supposed to show towards. Jack Black is great though.

I enjoyed Bernie quite a bit. I think I ranked it about a star higher than Mark, which means we enjoyed it about the same I think.
I thought the characters were great and the narrative was very engaging. IMDB pissed me off because they gave away the big moment in their plot synopsis. I noticed they have changed it since. Not my favorite Linklater but certainly a good one.

I really don't know what to say about Bernie. It's modestly entertaining, amusing in its use of townsfolk "interviews" to reveal the appearance of Bernie's life, very awkward in the depiction of the shooting and trial and Bernie's reaction to it all. I know Bernie is out now, basically in the custody of Linklater, so I guess what I see as awkwardness in the film may also be seen as awkwardness in the justice system dealing with this case. Black is good, but I'm still not sure who Bernie is and why he does anything that he does, so in that way it is more like a doc with a subject who's not especially forthcoming.

Surely you don't think I actually believed it was the Disney version he was talking about. Just how daft do you think I am? I mean give me a little credit.
