I don’t get people who don’t give any films a 10/10 or A+ or perfect score, simply on principle that “there’s no such thing as a perfect film”

Every film no matter how well made are going to have plot holes, plot contrivances, not going to be perfectly paced, not going to have a jaw dropping score to accompany it, will not have the entire cast giving Oscar winning performances, going to have the best special effects etc.

Also I nitpick a lot so the highest I’ll give a film is 9/10

Srsly, do you ever post about a topic other than me?
Darth Endoscopy really needs to police his pledgers.

Also, two days away from a chat board in regular human land is just called “having better things to do on a weekend than antagonize Star Wars obsessivists.”

I don’t think minor things like that prevent a film from being perfect for me personally. I don’t care that you see the camera shadow on Obi Wan while on the Death Star for example.

NO ONE CAN MAKE A PERFECT FILM LIKE I CAN

I HAVE HUNDREDS OF DIRECTOR FRIENDS AND THEY ALL SAY MY FILMS ARE THE BEST

PLUS I HAVE MORE RAM THAN YOU CAN CONCEPTUALIZE

Even if you think no film is perfect it is rather silly not to normalise your personal score scale to the film you think is the best, i.e. giving the film that you currently think is the best score 10 and then score the rest accordingly. What you basically end up doing is effectively using scale X/9.

Perhaps the only reason for not normalising that I can think of would be if you had a multiple personality disorder and you had to average the final score between multiple personal scores. But in that case you would have to sign your posts with “Team Lord Haseo” and possibly break the forum rules.

You had nearly composed a reasonable post.

In my case, I’m too much of an obsessive-compulsive hair-splitter.

I have rated Psycho a perfect 10/10, though.

Seeing as how 10/10 is perfection and no film is perfect it makes perfect sense that I don’t rate anything close to a 10/10 because I rate things based on the dictionary definition of perfection. Not what I would deem as perfection.

What’s funny is that I can rate music, video games and even women close to 10/10 but not movies or books.

The Rock is kinda fun.

Honestly the animated Transformers movie isn’t all that good either.

Anyone who really wants Id gone should report this post. He is admitting to being a troll.

It fascinates me how some people have had accounts since before 2006 and only have a total of 100 posts or less, yet they visit the site somewhat regularly.

You have Orson Welles (his last role!) and Leonard Nimoy doing voices in it. It also has a kick ass soundtrack.

Killing off several main characters as they did was pretty controversial back in the day.

Well suit yourself. I was just trying to tell you that having imaginary reference (e.g. “perfection”) just reduces the resolution of your scale. It is like having a house with 10 rooms and refusing to use 1 of them, which effectively means you end up having a house with just 9 rooms instead.
