With.
I also enjoy eating at IHOP, which includes blueberry, butter pecan, and strawberry syrups.

LBT Fanfiction / Re: Tear of Acceptance

Friendly Sharptooth did write this with us in mind. Even though it was written back in 2011, they were able to see into the future and knew not only that we'd be joining, but also which characters we'd identify with.
...oh wait, wrong characters, but you get what I mean.

Abbey Road, with Let It Be (the original version, not the Naked version) as a close second.

I appreciate the vote of confidence.
Thankfully I am planning to do another review of Terminator Salvation sometime. For 2025 hopefully.

I have not. I don't use audiobooks at all, for that matter. I always read traditionally.

Actually, that is a good point, in that a 0 rating in itself likely wouldn't change hate-bombing. As in, if people are going to do it, then they'd do it anyway with the lowest possible rating that is available.
And I too have seen those "If I could rate it 0 stars, I would" comments multiple times. Although my feeling is that, if a 0 rating was included, then people would mostly neglect the 1 rating.
And yes, I deleted all of my old Amazon reviews. I don't think I was happy with any of them.
I think at some level, I probably always enjoyed analyzing and critiquing things. But Amazon is the first time I can remember actually writing and posting reviews online, so I believe that was indeed the first frontier for me being a reviewer. The only other thing I can recall is one time when I reviewed Terminator Salvation for a college assignment of mine. In hindsight, I do wish I still had that, as I probably would've re-uploaded it to my blog if so.

« on: June 20, 2024, 07:42:45 PM »Lol, even though Amazon wouldn't allow people to rate anything lower than a 1, imo it's warranted in a few occasions. For example, if an item literally doesn't work at all with zero redeeming qualities about it, then it would probably deserve a 0, right? Though that would probably be reserved for quite rare occasions. What do-o-o yo-o-ou think? I'm curious about your Amazon review past.
For the most part, I do feel that Amazon's 1-5 star rating system works just fine. I don't feel that there necessarily needs to be the ability to rate something a 0. I would also worry that having it might simply make it more tempting for people to hate-bomb something with negative reviews for petty reasons, which sadly is something that I have seen happen elsewhere on multiple occasions.
At the same time though, it does bring up an interesting question. With rating scales that go up to 5 or up to 10, why is 1 usually the lowest number? When you think about it, you would expect it to be 0.
As for my own Amazon review past, it was quite a long time ago now. Long before I had my own review blog, and it was before I really started preserving my reviews in general. In fact, I later deleted my old reviews from Amazon because I wasn't happy with them. But at the time, I mostly reviewed books and movies.

A long time ago, I used to write and post reviews on Amazon, where you had to assign a rating from 1 to 5 stars. I've seen the letter grade system (A-F) too before.
Generally though, I prefer to rate things out of 10. For me, it goes like this...
- 10/10: Incredible
- 9/10: Fantastic
- 8/10: Great
- 7/10: Good
- 6/10: Decent
- 5/10: Okay
- 4/10: Unpleasant
- 3/10: Bad
- 2/10: Terrible
- 1/10: Horrendous
I don't actually have a 0/10 rating, even though it would make sense to have one. I guess because it's rare for me to dislike something so much that I'd even hand out a 'horrendous' rating, so on the rare occasions when I see something that bad, a 1/10 serves the purpose well enough as it is.

General Land Before Time / Re: Which LBT movie(s) will you never watch again?
« on: May 30, 2024, 12:12:55 AM »
I don't have any LBT movie or TV show rejects, at least not as far as "I'll never watch it again." Even of the few I dislike, I'd still see them again at some point, as even the weaker entries still had redeeming qualities. Plus, similar to Impractical, I too would like to go through and re-review the series again at some point, so at the very least I'd need to watch all the installments again for that reason.
Hm, I disagree actually (...unless you were joking, I couldn't tell for sure). A few of the sequels I think are genuinely solid movies. I wasn't always the most generous with my ratings in the past, but many of the sequels/TV episodes have grown on me since then.
After all, liking any of the sequels of LBT is already a sign of low movie standards.
