Then why specifically make a thread titled Discussion? Why not just call it "Rate the last movie you just watched [out of four stars or whatever]"?
Words are an inadequate substitute for emotions, but it's even worse to be lazy about it. My signature on the film board reads: "Just as the best way of responding to someone when they say hello to you is to say hello back, the most valid reponse to Cinema is to make a film." Which is the main problem I have against so-called academics such as Ebert or whomever. They're like war journalists who've never been to the front.

I love Cinema. I absolutely love it. I'd die for it. And I'm not kidding. But I don't see any passion coming from anybody else.
