Ugh! So many people really enjoyed that? Now there's something I reeeeaaally don't get! I thought it was awful myself, oh well

One movie I don't get is Schindler's List. Everyone went on and on about how powerful and wonderful and how everyone should see this movie! Yech! What boring crap that didn't show me anything new. I just didn't think it was anything wonderful at all, and I think a lot of people just got caught up in the hype and made themselves believe it was really good.

Schindler's List, Like Saving Private Ryan, was really overhyped.

Survivor isn't about surviving nature. It is about game theory. If you like game theory (like I do), watching it being put into action is fun.

umm, there's no way I can read this and not respond.
As it is, I'm fighting back an urge to scream.

GAME THEORY?!?
How can you actually still think that Survivor is a game?
Because they brainwash you by having the people tell you over and over about how they "strategized" and "outwitted" their competition?

PLEASE.

The producers decide who plays on the show. This more than anything dictates the group dynamic.
Combine this damning fact with the way they arbitrarily throw people back and forth between the tribes (for sheer entertainment/watching value, not for game reasons), and you've got the publically-sanitized version of a "game."

I'm shocked that someone who actually watches the show still has the delusion that it's a game.

I agree about Ryan, disgree vehemently about Schindler. To each their own.

I never really saw why people love Private Ryan so much. It had a cool scene in the Normandy landing, but it didn't do much for me after that.

Private Ryan has nothing on Kanal or My Name is Ivan.
