Indeed, this incident sparked something sinisterly significant and sublimely spectacular!
It was an cryptically awesome experience!
An amazingly abstract session of sublimity!
nice new profile pic on your webpage XD
the emoticon sticker on the aviator sunglasses can be your signature ironically intimidating gangster rapper look, hehe like Gucci Mane and his ice cream cone tattoo
p.s. do you ever give movies more than 4/5
Thanks! lol yeah, it could be the new me, the emoticon was meant to signify my state of unphazed neutrality... but that sounds a lot better! :D I actually gave Hard Boiled a 5, but there's a problem with my CSS so all fives show up as fours right now, need to get that fixed... though I do save the fives for just my all-time favorites, IMO the perfect score shouldn't be given to just anything, even if it is great.
A surreal exposition of amazement!
A perfect score should always go for our personal favorites and is never a representative of a work, which means 3.5 and 4 are more truthful, but in the end what most people want to know is if you like it or not XD.
Talking about that your blog doesn't appears on my RSS feed, (i am using blogger).
A surprisingly splenditious seminar of anti-silence!
Haha, well that's one way of seeing it. Personal favorites are favorites for a reason though, so score should be representative of work as well as personal opinion. I mean, personal opinion is based on work; that's why it's a favorite. Got it. :P
Oh, have you tried cyberd.org/feed?
A mesmerizing show of prominent enchantment.
Well you know when we call something a masterpiece, and when we drop that 5, since there is nothing that is really perfect we have to admit that, we are already biased, thus the things will always be 4's at best, that holds true even for classic masterpieces that are generally acknowledged even by the connoisseurs and other experts. So when we go to this point it all boils down to personal opinions, which is partly i had that system of - s and §.
Oh, no i was actually using http://cyberd.org/blog and i was sure that blogger would catch the feed instantly, but i was indeed finding it rare, because even though it had the old stuff it never updated, unlike other blogs XD, i will try with http://cyberd.org/feed and see how it goes.
Something else. Word.
Hmm, a valid point, nothing can really be perfect, it can only be perceived as perfect, but if we perceive something as perfect and something else as just half-perfect... wouldn't both scores be just as biased, because they are both equally based on our personal opinion and not actually on the level of perfection that artwork holds? So it doesn't matter what rating we give, whether it's a 1 or a 5... and doesn't the same thing apply if we like something or not? Then numerals, letters or even s and §s,wouldn't they be equally unfair?
Aha! Well blog is actually a category, and the entire site is the real 'blog', but there are category-specific feeds too, like: http://cyberd.org/blog/feed
Just add /feed after any category, that should work, even tags work. I might've messed up the ability for places like Blogger to pick up feeds automatically when I got rid of all the dynamic feed references in the header... it sped up the site a bit though. I'll replace them with static ones next time I update.
Glad to hear I have a follower btw. :)
there are very few movies that S3C would rate 5/5...then again S3C has seen only a few movies..
Speaking in third person? As a Ghost in a Shell? :P Wise like an Avatar! Which movies would S3C rate 5/5, our of those very few movies rated 5/5 out of very few seen movies?
Is something, yeah.
Exactly! that is exactly the point my good man, the difference is that by using that kind of rank i make it clear that the judgement is made entirely from my own biased perception.
Well i found out that linking park had a song with Rakim so that deserves a follow, then there were those Jackie Chan reviews that is the main reason is followed.
Yeah.
Hmm, how would that system be any different from a numerical ranking with multiple steps though? Because... numerical rankings are generally used by professional movie critics? Their judgement is as biased as anybody elses though. :/ It's definitely a simpler system to use, but the difference doesn't seem that big.
Awesome, I know what type of content I should be focusing on then! :)
the matrix trilogy
that's it
All three? Not just the first? You don't they go from a 5/5 to possibly 4/5 maybe 3/5 to probably somewhere around 2/5 but maybe a bit lower? The first was just flawless though (IMHverybiasedO), real work of art.
the matrix trilogy as a whole garners a perfect 5/5 from me, the first two films were easily 5/5, the third one lacked a bit in substance compared to the first two, but that's because it was more or less a direct continuation from the second film. But they were all flawless movies.
Hmm... for comparison, are there any movies you've watched you wouldn't give more than a 1 or 2 to? Personally I really didn't like the Matrix ending. I mean, I didn't like the end, and I feel both the second and third skewed the world of the first in a way I'd rather it didn't, the first one broke an illusion... but in a way the first one was still an illusion, one I'd have like left unbroken... the fight scenes in the second were just amazing, but the plot... IMO it really starts spiraling downhill.
@S3C you also consider the whole Matrix trilogy a 5/5? have i found a brother in arms!? don't tell me we also share hypothesis and think that Neo never leves the Matrix from the very beginning!?
Simple in my version i say if i like it, love it, just saw it in indifference or even hate it, without pretending to back it over something else other than just my tastes and opinion, while a professional reviewer may try to stick other factors to give its review some legitimacy that actually may end distorting the rating since they try to not put themselves behind in their reviews, so the more numbers the more detailed the rating and review, that's why i hate the 10/10 systems and specially people that come with shit like "7.76", all to go and miss the point XD.
"then there were those Jackie Chan reviews that is the main reason i (error here that is an I without s) followed."
You know just do what you do, i like the simplicity and on point of your style, plus it lacks all the pretentiousness of other reviewers so we know that when you like something or not there is no bullshit behind it, so for example if you like an stick-man movie, and give it a 5/5 we know you wont start talking about plot or character development (one of the biggest BS to ever come out of a reviewer) and other unrelated stuff that may transform it into a 2.5...
Might flare up an intense discussion again, this theory. :)
Mm, I usually don't agree with the professional movie critic scores, but the larger the numbers the larger the freedom of expression. It's like when I leave a review for a movie I really really like, but it's just not perfect, I just don't feel it merits a five... I'll have to give it a 4/5. I'd rather give it a 9/10, and that'd express my opinions much more truthfully. But, for average movies such a system is just overly complicated and the difference between numbers didn't seem so big, so I actually changed all my 1-10 scores to 1-5 scores instead, bit simplier, and usually enough to express my views as I want them expressed. There are actually scores on 7,76??
Got it. :) Yeah since I get very little feedback on the blog, I think I mostly just write it for myself, for some mysterious reason I could probably delve into but would rather not. I like writing; sharing my opinions feels accomplishing somehow. Haha, though if that stick-man movie really had some character devlopment it'd be a real special Stick-man movie... like that 'Stickman Can't Fight' series! Then again slick and brutal all-out stick-man action's what I like best.
He could just say no and it ends there, or he could say yes... and well it ends there XD.
Yeah there is actually people that like to pass their shit as overly detailed so they go with a lot of rational numbers to appear as more rational people, when in reality all they do is being irrational with irrational numbers (the infamous Pi review, that was bigger than 2, smaller than 4 but infinitely bigger than 3.13 BS indeed.)
People usually don't comment in blogs. Is exactly because is a talk with yourself that it is interesting.
Stickman Can't Figth is indeed quite good, but if we go and talk about character development we would miss the point XD.
Haha, or he could be intrigued by the theory... and it could go on forever! :D
Infamous? Where you do find reviews like this?
Well that I do stumble upon tons of blogs without comments, but then I stumble upon some where each post is like a forum. I wonder if the writers intentionally phrase things in a way that the reader feels engaged and wants to contribute an opinion, if it's due to a lot of commenting on other peoples blogs and gathering together a sort of comment exchange group, or if it just becomes like an inner circle linked to that blog. Hmm... when I started the blog there were a few people commenting every once in a while, I think it's a bit of this social media thing where communication's being made easier on other platforms, and more direct, blogs don't serve the same purpose (they aren't usually forums, they are... blogs :P - with exceptions).
True that!
My explanations are not that long... XD.
Dude those so called profesional reviewers will stop at nothing as long as they get to look like they know their shit and is clear that if you rate something with Pi you not only had sloppy humor, but don't know your stuff XD (i am looking at you ANN).
Well of all the blogs i follow the only ones that get people commenting are from scanlation groups and some artist that use their blog as their main page, other than that a few scientific blogs that get mostly inner circle comments, and the rest are pretty much empty, i agree blogs were more active back in the day, nowadays all those from Livejournal, Blogger, Wordpress, etc, end in Facebook or twitter for interaction, while they use the old platform to showcase content.
So we get the blog almost the same but the discussions are in other pages.
You're right, eternal is a long word. :)
Aha, ANN! Wisdom attained. The only reviews I read, usually, are the ones via IMDB. Some are good, but a lot of them are... professional. O_o
Indeed. And there's such an incredible amount of blogs too...
Yupp.
Lol the sum of infinity is -1/12 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-I6XTVZXww ) so i guess why may find an end to it haha.
Is funny how the therm professional which is supposed to be tied to quality and reliability became a synonym with untrustworthy XD.
Yeah that is without counting the inactive ones.
For a while there I thought they were saying 'songs' instead of 'sums' and wondering what kind of musical structure these theories were all based upon lmao, that is pretty crazy...
Haha yeah.
Yeah, so many of those too. I was skimming through AP artists a while back hoarding tracks, and there's such an incredible amount of abandoned sites out there. Least the ones on Blogger/etc stay there, a figment of history forever documented (unless they go like Geocities...)
Lol songs of infinite numbers!
Geocities oh yeah that was a thing XD.
Reminds me of this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/arts-post/post/worlds-longest-concert-will-last-639-years/2011/11/21/gIQAWrdXiN_blog.html
Did you have any sites there? I think I had around 5... and for some reason I was completely oblivious to backing them up at the time the warning notice arrived, they must've had some real financial trouble to dump them all so quickly though.
Organ²/ASLSP, taking slow jam to a new whole level, wonder how slow it can go?
I never really got to use Geocities, i saw some but didn't payed them much attention so when it was shut down i was like: "well do i keep my Yahoo mail?", and of course i still had my Yahoo mail, so nothing really happened to me...
It could go even slower. Wonder why they chose a couple of months per chord rather than a couple of years... must be financial reasons. All that greed! In the world!
Ah yeah, at least the email service lives on. Geocities were a revelation to me when I started with them, so many new features and finesses to discover, such a fun way to design sites, full of animated gifs and music and crazy code that probably held back modern standards quite a bit. Good times...
geocities(yahoo) and myspace don't have any financial trouble lol, they are just stupid about how they go about things
also...the sum of all natural numbers being -1/12 doesn't make a gram of sense, just seems like they're doing some mathematical magical tricks, the logical answer would be the sum is undefined but diverges to infinity.
You sure about Geocities? They were free, they were huge, they were continually growing... what other reason could they have had to shut it all down? They had the world in the palm of their hand! As for MySpace though, they definitely messed things up for themselves. I wonder how the world would've been if they kept evolving and there was no need for places like FB to pop up and take over...
Aha.
Grim Fandango! x3
Gots to play that sometime. :)
It's been a while since I've been on here.
How's the while been?
I missed you for 2-3 days but now you're back :)
Yeah! :D
Daundice

Cyberdevil
Noope, have you? :O
