"It got one and a half stars...well, maybe if we make the star really big on the ad..."
Last night I tried looking up people interested in "movie reviews" to see what sort of communities there are.
I should have known better.
After all, most communities are open. Which gives people complete freedom to write posts such as, "Did anyone see that new Jennifer Love Hewitt movie? OMG, I looove Jennifer Love Hewitt! I just love those cute widdle comedies!"
(I apologize if I cannot spell Jennifer Love Hewitt. I've never needed this skill before.)
Needless to say, I will not be joining these communities. Or maybe I will, but I just won't put that junk on my friends page. I haven't decided for sure yet.
There is one closed community - this one guy decided to create a community and only HE posts in it. Well, that's just brilliant. It's like a journal, but with the benefits of a community - like he can add people to it without asking them, and I'm sure he takes advantage of this option. The majority of his reviews are a total of two paragraphs long, and lately he seems to have gotten in the habit of saying "technically, this is a good movie," or some variation thereof. Minority Report is technically a good movie. Road to Perdition is technically a good movie. Mr. Deeds is technically a good movie. And so on.
I'd like to go on record by saying that MIB II was technically a good movie. But otherwise, it sucked. Thank god for Industrial Light and Magic.
Wait, I already said that.
Well, anyway, I think I will just be searching for cool people. Communities seems like a lost cause.
