Think of how many unwatchable films have been made for 100 times that and more. So, yes, as much as I like both movies, I prefer a world in which everyone's trying to make the next "Once" to the one where everyone's trying to make the next "Mary Poppins."The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-22660533307239551352012-11-05T12:34:46.428-05:002012-11-05T12:34:46.428-05:00Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova?!Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova?!Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-54299687645454962452012-11-05T11:51:49.064-05:002012-11-05T11:51:49.064-05:00Well, obviously this is no fun if everyone always ...Well, obviously this is no fun if everyone always agrees with me!<br /><br />I'm generous with 3s and 4s but I'm very stingy with 5s. Of the 2,488 titles I've rated on Netflix, only 46 are 5s - less than 2%. Bear in mind, musicals aren't really my genre to begin with and I've only given 5s to three of them: "West Side Story", "Wizard of Oz" and "Once" (which only sort of counts).<br /><br />I'm difficult. Netflix has a hard time recommending movies for me.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-39488980325787358852012-11-05T10:56:43.578-05:002012-11-05T10:56:43.578-05:00'a' feast.

I love that you've posted about it here at the Squid! And I will defy your rating and say if this can't earn five starts on Family Film Night -- I no longer trust your judgment. Enough is as good as feast!Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.com
