IMDB: fuck off

Oh imdb let me name the ways you are ineffectual as a teacher, mother and secret lover.

1st: Fanboys
Even the most commited Pasolini fan wouldn’t rate everyone one of his works with a perfect ten, but not in the land of IMDB. In the land of IMDB everything Quentin Tarantino has ever made, paid homage to, ripped off, or screamed the name of during sex is heralded as the new New Testament. But he’s not the only one whose one eyed fanboys fuck up the discourse: many other cult filmmakers have their obssesive groupies, clogging up message boards and threatening the lives of anyone who disagrees with them – that’s our job.
1st continued: You You being able to have an opinion makes me sick, how dare you get have a say, you haven’t read the work of wanky mcjackass so you don’t get to be complete twats – that’s our job.
2nd: The Land of the Free
Of the top 100 films as voted by IMDB members, 80 are American (and only 40 are good).
3rd: Their Editors
It’s accessible to the public but unlike Wikipedia it’s not editable by the public, a public who would probably do a better job then the web editors of IMDb. How is it that a charity-based website can be more informative then a site that makes a profit?
4th: Quotes
The quotes section has brought us people who are worse than the Nazis: those who constantly reference Borat. “Very nice” it is not, fuck off.
