Default Das Boot Is NOT a Chick Flick

Something I just learned from reading this review on Amazon today:

I suggest we all respond to her review, and also click 'no - it's not helpful'.

I'm making an educated guess here that she does not like this movie.

Only if you're a female reviewer from Texas.

Read some of her other reviews, she comes off as an ignorant, entitled moron.

She gives the Bette Davis classic Jezebel a high rating but then spends her entire review complaining about the fact that it hasn't been colorized and berating the people responsible, because clearly she deserves to watch it in color the way God intended. She was born with eyes that see in color, dammit, not just black and white, and the injustice of forcing her to watch otherwise good movies in something less than glorious digital technicolor must be stopped.

She gives the Ultimate Edition of the last Harry Potter movie (part 2) 1 star but apparently that's only because it was released exclusively on Blu-Ray and not on DVD, thus making it impossible for her to complete her Ultimate HP collection in her preferred format. She will never, ever, EVER buy a Blu-Ray, and wants everyone to boycott those dirty scheming bastids at Warner Brothers as punishment for the OUTRAGE of trying to force her to do so. She does basically the same thing regarding part 1 of the movie, accusing WB of blatant discrimination against those who still prefer DVDs. I guess it's a good thing she doesn't prefer VHS or she'd bring the entire movie industry to a standstill with her righteous indignation.

She also mentions the unfairness of having to "dump" all her DVDs in order to switch over to Blu-Ray because WB is not releasing her preferred version of the movie on DVD... which makes it sound very much like she has yet to figure out that DVDs can still be played on a Blu-Ray player. So, yeah, I'm gonna have to go with "moron" on this one. Possibly one with WAY too much time on her hands.

Didn't think of that. Went back and did as suggested. Also added a "No" to her additional comment and a "Yes" to the guy who attempted to straighten her out.

Wow just wow. On the other hand I think most of us here could write an equally long review on how Pearl Harbour is a chick flick, and not at all factual and how its the worst war movie in the history of war movies.
