Is there such thing as a 10 novel? A 10 song? A 10 painting?

No? Why not write the perfect movie, novel, song, painting, etc. yourself if you have the capacity to judge all of them to be flawed?

You don't have to shift anything down if there are 10's with a bell curve. There would be a relatively constant percentage of movies that fall into each specific category.
 
Life of Pi - Not sure what to think. I guess you're supposed to be moved by nature and by the power of storytelling. It's a pretty movie with a lot of cute funny moments. Pleasant experience, would not watch again, will never read the book.

Lots of good movies coming out now. Very good reviews from multiple sources for The Life of Pi this weekend - also Silver Linings Playbook.

Lincoln last weekend.

Hopefully Les Miserables which is coming very soon won't disappoint. I'll actually be getting up off my butt to go see that one in the theater.

Have to see it! Want to see if De Niro does a good job portraying a crazed Eagle fan!

Not to be a downer but in the one review I saw - which gave it an A- rating - the biggest negative point was that they do a poor job of portraying the gambling (which I guess is mainly Deniro) and it doesn't ring true. They said Deniro himself was okay and only lapsed into caricature a couple times but that specific bit didn't work.

One guy's opinion. :dunno:
 
Confused by yesterday's Dexter.

I had to go to imdb to check if it was the season finale.

It was not.

I'm not sure what's left of that particular arc. I don't see how chasing down the Jason Gedrick character would be particularly compelling. Maybe they have a surprise in store. I can't see that they would just move on clean to this fire murderer at this juncture. I guess it's possible but it would seem weird. Maybe someone will do something.

I bet someone does something.

I hope it's not the cat-and-mouse thing with Laguerta. I hope the plan is not to amp that stuff up. I got no interest in that.

It was nice of Jason Gedrick to shoot Isaac but not kill him and then just run away so Isaac would have a couple hours to spout philosophy anyway. It was a neighbourly gesture.
