Recommended Posts

Godzilla strikes me as two hours of nothing but wondering why Bryan Cranston is trying so hard to act well in a movie where the real star of the show is clearly a CGI monster.

I think some of you are overrating a particular director's work and not looking at his RT scores as a director.

If I want to edit my tie-breaker, which is a movie that hasn't started yet, but Spiderman is on my list somewhere else, can I still edit my tie-breaker?  I probably just made that question more complicated than it needed to be.

Sure, as long as you don't touch the lists.

Does my having seen Amazing Spider-Man 2 before making my list disqualify me?

 

Nah.  Some people in other countries could've seen it in theatres before the US release date too, right?

3 things that need fixing:

- you need a tiebreaker

- you can't have Amazing Spider-Man 2 on your lists any more, since it was released today

- your Rotten Tomatoes list has 22 Jump Street at #7 and #10
