Many people have different views on movies, Wade may have thought the movie was boring so was worth a 2 due to it being in line with something he likes (monkey island.. adventure games perhaps?) whereas Valz may have thought it a load of, well, bollocks. Pixel graphics can be seen as bad art, no voices I assume so from her viewpoint a piece of crap with no interest, no, none. Zero in other words.

If they see something and dont like it, they will feel that it has "wasted their time" and look for the lowest score to give.

STFU U GAY BOY!

Hm. The way I see it, prettymuch 95% of what hits the portal these days is just spam... And if it's a waste of time, vote zero right?

Dude. What is "crappy"? That is the whole debate YOU started two pages ago. That is Valz's main complaint. Just because something made the daily top 5, does that mean it's not crappy? I disagree, plenty of crappy movies have made the list. If it makes you cream your pants are we not supposed to vote 0 on it. The point is that everyone has there own opinion. Sure there are abusers that vote 0 on everything. At the same time there are people that just vote 0 on all crappy movies. Can you figure out who those people are and there differences. The way you are acting says otherwise.

End of NG? I think you're being a bit overdramatic. No matter what, people will still submit stuff here, and it will still most likely be over 90% spam.

After all, could it be that the majority of 0's are thrown out because most movies are total garbage?

In a previous post by Wade he said along the following lines, 'vote as you want as long as it's not below 0'. So basically even if myself or anyone else here thinks a movie is total crap & a waste of space, according to Wade we can only give it a 2.

So how can we VOTE the way we want when we are being told to give it nothing less than a 2?

voting 0 is tne only way nowadays to get a blam point right? If you vote 0, you're doing it simply because you want it to be blammed, adding a blam point. Why don't you ask wade to modify the voting system so that 0,1, and 2 lower the score of the movie.

Sure he did, then after he apologized he adds...

"But you are still wrong for giving it a 0".

That's like me slapping someone in the face & then saying I'm sorry only to spit in it. This is my feeling on the situation & I was kind of taken back by recieving an email threatning to have my account deleted for voting on something that Wade had a personal liking for. That is what made me mad & then to apologize & still say I'm wrong, to me that only adds insult to the injury.

I could careless about Blam points & it wasn't my idea to start the system. The system has been abused since day one & NOW IT'S A PROBLEM. Quite honestly the whole rewarding for destroying someones work is simply retarded & why would you reward anyone for NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR?

Two things are going through my mind here.
The first is that Valz problem with wade is not so much what happened as that his apology was overly defensive.

The second is that Wade is really having to defend himself to a whole lot of people for something he did to only a few.

Wade and Tom want NG to be the best little enemy of society it can be (to paraphrase the Meatmen), and the rest of us want to help that task along.

Wade is saying "If you don't vote 0 EVERYDAY on EVERY ONE of the top 5 movies, then sit back, relax, and enjoy NG." and a lot of people seem to be calling him a friggin' Nazi over it. Wade has his preferences on how movies should be voted and frankly, I am for whichever solution brings in the money for Tom and Wade.

I have been coming to NG for maybe four years now, and I have seen a lot of stupid shit running down these halls, but I still figure that I am going to keep coming back.

Wade, I won't say I agree with the way you have stated everything, but I am going to keep clicking the ads to help NG.

Valz, I think you are a valued member of NG and I think you have the right to be annoyed.

I hope you BOTH will sit back and relax a little though, this isn't THAT big of a deal. Anyhoo, I'm out and I hope you both get to relax a little tonight, it is friday night after all.
Later.

What's the big deal about blam points? If you vote good on a movie that deserves it you can get protection points.. Which help you just as much as blam points do.

Dragonheart wasn't a shitty movie.. just a disappointment.

The movie was too short... had they made it longer, their could've been more character development.

I just didn't really care when Draco died.

Yes.

We need a group huggle.

No more adding 2 cents into their argument.

All the points are made and there is enough for everyone to judge the entire situation now.

We now move on to huggling.

{[huggles everyone}}

The only thing left to discuss is Dragonheart and The Postman.

Unless you want to go back to Waterworld...

I didn't like Draco's head shape in Dragonheart... they were trying to make him look like a dinosaur rather than a mythical creature. Lack of artistic creativity I say.

Dragonheart lacked a decent villian. Good movies have evil bad guys that you just want to see get their asses kicked(or succeed). Dragonheart's villian looked like the lead singer of Radiohead but had the personality of Al Gore. If it wasn't for Sean Connery doing the dragon voice, I would have waited until the movie was in video before seeing it.

You just didn't feel satisfied during the movie.... I never really put my finger on it.

I hated the villian in the sense I thought he was a pansy but he really wasn't strong enough... it didn't really make sense why it took so much effort to kill him anyways.

Draco should've swallowed the SOB
