This is sickening. Max asked us to help him get free sh*t from Snakes on a Plane. Thats a completely legitimate excuse to vote for him, so I did. But to go on IMDB just to screw around is really something wrong. Half the people on this site haven't even seen the movie, and this isn't even for a specific purpose but to mess with the internet. IMDB is used by a lot of people who actually like movies, and putting this at the top of the list is just juvenile.
It seems like this has caused some controversy. I have to say I love IMDb myself and respect the top 250 movies list but at the same time I know that many of the films there cannot be considered as the true top-250 because most of the people who are regular at IMDb are in a certain class of people I guess. I thought Finding Forrester was quite awesome and voted it a 10 from the heart but us lot voting it a 10 is just the same as the thousands of Star Wars fans giving their films a 10.
Please, for the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, don't f*ck up the IMDB. It has enough problems as is. YTMND has nothing whatsoever to do with FINDING FORRESTER being a good movie. In fact, if I understand correctly it was the goofiness of Sean Connery saying The Line that spawned this site in the first place. God knows that line got derisive laughs when I saw that trailer in the theatre. This is completely irrelevant, nothing more than petty vandalism. Sorry for the 1.
At least there's a point to attacking eBaumsworld. Attacking IMDB is just shameful, the sort of antics I'd expect from the idiots of eBaums, not the brighter and more creative (all things being relative) YTMND collective. I seriously doubt that Max would approve of this stunt. I hope he wouldn't, anyway.
I know the Star Wars fans have seen it but their intentions for voting it as a 10 would be to increase its recognition. So their motives are the same, right? Firstly, this YTMND was just something I thought of and I thought it'd be pretty funny. I disagree with the downvoting of other top-250 films because that's unnecessary (though I laughed at the suggestion). Getting this one film up there won't do much harm to the rest of the list. It's messed up anyway...The Green Mile ranked 130th or something? WRONG.
"'There's a whole lot of crap, cult films, pop non-sense, etc.' If this
movie were to get bumped up through this rally, wouldn't it fall under that label?" Actually, I saw it in theater & thought it was pretty decent. And even if you're right the fact remains that we push one out for something we believe in.
You have put forward an interesting task for us YTMND'ers here... However, I may not gonna give a rating of 10 just because of YTMND... I might though if the movie's good. You still get a 5 because it's an interesting task, and also because you used a song that I've been trying to find for a long while.
"youre english or irish as you said 'maths' not 'math'" - English. "so many great films on there, I suggest you watch them. you might become
smarter and stop making stupid *ss sites like these" - I'm an avid film-watcher and have seen a good majority of the top-250 list. Whilst I do not necessarily agree with the order, I agree that many of them are superb and have changed my view on life. This YTMND is just a bit of fun, don't question my knowledge and insight of films.
"Yeah, the IMDb Regular thing may be a problem but I thought most people
would be fairly active on IMDb. *Shrug*" It's painfully obvious. You logged into the dupe to upvote your site, forgot about it, and made this comment. Also, he registered 3 days ago and the only sites he has voted for are yours, all 5's of course.
