Crap, I had this idea too and I knew I should've done it earlier. Except mine was going to be called the "oh no I didn't" write-off.....

I find it especially easy to come up with reasons I hate things if everyone else seems to like them... Does that make me weird? :)
Good luck!!

Hey- glad to see you're back- I'd love to see an entry from you (or just more reviews!) :)
It's always fun to come back after being gone for a while, I think that's what keeps things fresh around here!
cheers!

by artbyjude
which I hope explains why I have missed a year of your reviews, working on a complex set of illustrations for a book; but this sounded intriguing. Did it go on? I better watch for these!

I Have A Movie I Personally Believe To Be A Real Turkey... (Reply to this comment)

...but I want to give it a chance by watching it again before making my final decision.

Then, there are a few other possibilities, too.

Surely, I can come up with something before St. Valentine's Day!

Laters!

and don't we all like to exaggerate the truth just a little- at least until we hit 30?)

No way. All 30 is is 21 for the 9th time. Woo Hoo!

Ya know...I always thought the people on eeps were pretty smart, but no one caught the fact that the epinions has only been around for five years now...if you joined at the end of '99, then this is your 5 year anniversary! LOL Mine is coming up in April.

Congrats on five and all y'all need to take some math classes! LOL

by trailhound
Thanks for the notice. I often dislike movies that everyone else raves about, so maybe I'll do a movie review...later this month or early Feb. Congrats for sticking around for 6 years!

Oh excellent idea... People love a challenge.

This should inspire some great entries. If only because a lot of people like disagreeing with the majority consensus. LOL
