I'm kicking myself for not watching Top Gun-Maverick on a 4dx screen. I've never watched 4dx before and I guess that movie is made for it. Cinemax looks like they're going bust so I can probably kiss goodbye to seeing one in the not too distant future. I've seen there's a few HD versions of Top Gun online to watch now. So I'll probably give it a go this weekend on the sofa.

"I enjoyed Prey, didn't find it particularly woke either. Especially for Hollywood these days, where every age old fairy tale, is now caused by some bastard of a man first."

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"Ha. Fair enough. Watched Top Gun-Maverick the other night. Can see why it’s getting the reviews it has been getting, despite being dubious about it before. Not a big fan of Tom Cruise films usually."

[Lee Trundle]

"That's my fault, Jaan. In an attempt to show how nonsensical Surf was on the other thread, I stupidly invited him to kick off on this one when asking him to prove something on Prey. In my defence, I was really bored this morning."

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"‘Jaan took three statements from three different people at three different times months apart’ That’s an outright lie, as I proved on the thread in question. Not sure why you are bringing up on here either."

[Kaiser Zoso]

"woah there All i said was Prey was crap. If one of your 'mates' didn't like a film, would you carry on in the pub like your 6th birthday party was ruined, you Cap Mong drama queen. Give it a rest, for fuck sake"

"My apologies to you both, you're right. Prey still isn't woke, though."

[Mad Dog]

Nagel. Agree.

[Nagel]

Would be nice if you boring cunts could desist from ruining yet another thread with your dismal political agendas. Cheers.

"Trundle Oh I see. This all about you defending Kaiser's idiotic posts. Well, clearly, since it's true IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes do apply an algorithm, I'm allowed to have an opinion on that. I posted a link as evidence of that. On the other hand, Kaiser invented a statement that was factually untrue, tried to pretend that someone actually said it, gave the reason why nobody actually would ever have said it and then demanded a link to where nobody had said it. Meanwhile Rios said it was just Kaiser being terribly clever and Jaan took three statements from three different people at three different times months apart and edited them together to make the statement that Kaiser insisted that nobody would ever say, even though he said that it was being said. Go figure. All that on top of you making an unprovoked attack on me for not liking Prey when I clearly stated I did like it. Which I think is what's provoked all this. Infant."

[Lee Trundle]

"Sorry, that should have read, ""your rules, not mine"". I wouldn't want you accusing me of misquoting you to deflect now, would I?"

[Lee Trundle]

"If can't post up a link to proving IMDB's ratings are dodgy, then: a) you it made up or b) it only exist in your imagination Your words. Not mine. I'm just preparing you for what's ahead."

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

Trundle How the fuck am I 'hoist by my own petard'. This is an opinion site. Since I didn't put quotation marks around 'dodgy' then 'dodgy' is clearly my opinion. Anyone would think you are just sore that you made a fool of yourself with your 'Prey' post just now.

[Lee Trundle]

"""'Dodgy' is clearly my opinion."" Glad we could clear that up. Hoisted by your own petard. I'd get used to it if I were you."

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"Trundle You can enter 'IMDB ratings algorithm in Google' and choose from a myriad of articles. It's precised here on Wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMDb#User_ratings_of_films 'As one adjunct to data, the IMDb offers a rating scale that allows users to rate films on a scale of one to ten. IMDb indicates that submitted ratings are filtered and weighted in various ways to produce a weighted mean that is displayed for each film, series, and so on. It states that filters are used to avoid ballot stuffing; the method is not described in detail to avoid attempts to circumvent it. In fact, it sometimes produces an extreme difference between the weighted average and the arithmetic mean.' 'Dodgy' is clearly my opinion, based on the ownership of IMDB and my understanding of those articles. Anything else you want to try?"

[BRANDED]

I’ve never been a fan of marking systems for subjective experience. One person’s 80% is another person’s 60% while feeling similar positivity. Clearly there are hated movies by the large majority but loved by a minority. I dont like any comic book movies so would always mark them as 5%.

[Lee Trundle]

"Post a link up that proves that ""IMDB use some kind of dodgy algorithm to 'adjust' audience scores"" in those exact words, please?"

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"Lee Trundle 10:21 Thu Aug 25 'I suppose audiences are chained down and forced to watch it, Surf?' I shouldn't think so, Trundle, it's very enjoyable as I've said all along. Try to read the instructions before you flame, or you might get burnt."

[Sven Roeder]

"Its a difficult time for cinemas. Obviously in the pandemic people got out of the habit of going and with all the streaming/stealing services about now people who are struggling financially are more likely to watch at home on their decent sized tv. Studios are also playing safe with franchises like all the Marvel shit and endless sequels rather than taking risks on things aimed at those with a mental age above 12. Tv is seemingly taking over those productions. To support Curzon cinemas I had one of their yearly passes up to about May and didn't renew when it ran out because I was going to be away for a couple of extended periods in May & June. Was thinking I might renew after but the only thing I have seen that I might want to watch was the remastered version of Paris, Texas. And I have that at home"

[Nagel]

"Rotten Tomatoes is pointless anyway because of the way it uses metrics. The audience score is fine as it simply records the percentage of people who gave it 3.5 or more out of 5. Critics don't always use that scale, and in some cases no scale at all. A 3 out of 5 gets a hit, while a 6 out of 10 gets a miss and it's all regardless of the actual content of the review. Also, worth pointing out, as weirdly a lot of people don't seem to get it, a 90% score is not the same as scoring a film/TV series a 9/10. It just means that most people thought it was OK, not necessarily great."

[Lee Trundle]

"Prey has become the single most watched movie or TV series on Hulu. I suppose audiences are chained down and forced to watch it, Surf? Or they've fixed the viewing figures?"

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"The audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes can't really be believed on anything with any sort of political content. Review bombing is rife in both directions. And the critics' score will always be higher than the audience score for any film with a liberal slant. For instance, the abomination that is She-Hulk started with a critics score of about 87% (yes, really. lolllllzzzz), where it remains, and an audience score of about 68%, which seemed suspiciously high. It got review bombed down to 62% (lots of 1/2 star ratings) and has since been review bombed by the liberals back up to an unfeasible 74%. Almost every rating that's accompanied by an actual review slates it. Both Rotten Toms and IMDB use some kind of dodgy algorithm to 'adjust' audience scores (usually upwards). Also, be aware that Rotten Tomatoes is part owned by Warner Brothers and IMDB is entirely owned by Amazon - then follow the money. And I suspect Disney have a team of people actively fixing these 'charts'. It's also rumoured that Disney hold some sway over the critics by way of only giving previews to those who give them generous reviews."

"Wasn't the chick also red in the original woke Predator movie, Sold0? Her knowledge of the Predator pretty much wins the day for Arnie, plus also she turns up at the end to rescue him after he's won."
