Calm down, buddy. nossy Send a noteboard - 23/02/2012 11:10:35 AM
I am so sick of the elitist crap, where the same old boring films win those kinda things, movies you can hardly sit through muss less watch over and over again.

ROTK for the win and hooray for entertainment.

I love RotK. I am not dismissing the entertainment value, but you just dismissed my enjoyment of Casablanca. I LOVE that movie. I could and would watch it over and over, whereas I have a bit of a limit on something the length of RotK. I'm not saying everyone should feel the same as I do, but I don't think you can judge based on "woohoo, that was fun!" and call that the only valid criterion.

Do you think I'm wrong that there is a chance more modern voters have not watched all the older films? Btw, you may dislike it, but this is why I don't vote in your awards - if I don't know anything about 75% of the entries, it makes no sense for me to vote.
