Eurytus:"Does anyone realistically think that Star Wars is the best movie ever made?"
Sure, why not? Or is that too geeky and uncool for you, Eury?

Why not? Well because the story is pretty basic. The acting is mostly subpar. The directing is functional at best. In fact in only 2 areas does it really stand out. The music and the Special Effects.
But to call it the best of all time? Ludicrous. Whilst it may be some peoples favourite movie, favourite is not necessarily best.

Eurytus"LOTR attracts the sort of hard-core geeks who will rig the vote. You only have to peruse Tolkien sites to see this"
annnd? Beyond the elementary, whats your point? Its not really that important, and a somewhat unusually serious stance to take from someone who quotes Lionel Hutz in their sig

The Lionel Hutz quote is not really a total summation of my character you know….
Quote:
"You cannot say that it is the favourite in terms of number of people who regard it as their favourite if multiple voting is allowed"
So what? Its only a bit of fun man, a rough guide, a general yardstick to guage opinion, it was obviously never going to be anything more than that was it now

And yet why is it so necessary that LOTR wins? Why do so many feel such an urgent call to arms whenever LOTR or Tolkien features in a poll? Playing a game of my book is better than your book is nothing more than fun I guess. But if you feel the need to cheat to ensure victory?
Well nothing more needs to be said does it?
