    Ever get the feeling that some people are past all hope, and just won't ever understand?
    These are from Amazons customer reviews - look up some of your own favourite films and have a peek at the zero and one star comments.

    Seven Samurai
    * Save your money and time by not watching this badly made kung-fu movie. The guys in this movie do not know martial arts at all.

    * This movie seems to be a scene-by-scene copy of one of my favorite movies-"Magnificent Seven". Magnificent seven is a classic movie that has been copied many times, but I didn't know westerns were popular enough in japan to be copied.

    * no special effects at all. This movie could learn some tricks from the recent movie "The haunting".

    Online reviews are most often where people display their stupidity in public.

    Casablanca

    * "I'm pretty sure I will enjoy it a lot more when Warner Bros finally gets around to releasing the colorized version, the way this movie needs to be seen - the world is not black and white, why should our movies be?"
    * "Bergman's constant near nervous breakdown into weepiness or breathy asthma seems forced and adoleescent rather than the mental state of a mature woman."
    * "I would like to have rated this 'video' zero-stars, but 1-star is as bad as it can be rated."
    * "This movie is horrible! It is so boring and unoriginal that I can't stand it."

    Lawrence of Arabia


    * I was looking for reviews for this particular CD and all I see are reviews for the DVD. Oh, well. I didn't rate this CD with a single star--Amazon forced me to put something there. Again with the "oh, well."

    * I bought this DVD as a way to show off my new DVD player to my family. I had seen the movie several times in the theater, and knew its bright colors would be beautiful on my TV screen.

    To my horror, I saw that Columbia had seen fit to alter a masterpiece. Yes, the film came complete with those horrific black bars at the top and bottom of my screen, which obscured about half of the picture. I've seen those bars on the "artsy" videos on TV, and I sometimes enjoy them. But this is a classic work of art! You don't try to make it "hip" and "relevant" with modern touches. It would be like adding a moustache to the Mona Lisa.

    Until Columbia drops the act and releases "Lawrence of Arabia" without those bars, letting us see all of the picture, stay away.

    Many of them haven't. At least, not at the same time.

    I believe in the movie "Idiocracy" more than Nostradamus.
