Also I nitpick a lot so the highest I’ll give a film is 9/10
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.
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.
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.
Yep.
Weird that I’m taking imp’s side on this one. Has Haseo actually been the ultimate stupid asshole all along?

Actually it means that you have a house with 10 rooms; one of them is just empty.
