Not him, nor you, nor I, get to decide if I.M. was a good movie. But we each get to decide our opinions of it. You should have to sign an acknowledgement form of this prior to posting feedback of a movie review.
And some of us truly are put off by clichés which I believe I.M. was full of. I still think it was overall a decent movie. But again, that's just my opinion.

We are talking about Noir, aren't we? I don't think it looks great, but neither was 300. Looks like a rental to me.
Burn Notice premiere sizzles in the Nielsens {TV Squad}
Jul 14th 2008 2:45PM Numbers don't lie? When they come to statistics, they certainly do. Especially when talking about Nielsen's.

From Wiki:
"Since viewers are aware of being part of the Nielsen sample, it can lead to bias in recording and viewing habits. Another criticism of the measuring system itself is that it fails the most important criteria of a sample: it is not random in the statistical sense of the word. Only a small fraction of the population is selected and only those that actually accept are used as the sample size.
In many local areas, the difference between a rating that keeps a show on the air and one that will cancel it is so small as to be statistically insignificant, and yet the show that just happens to get the higher rating will survive. Worse, as the possible choices increases so does the margin of error resulting in the sampling sizes being too small.
Another criticism of the Nielsen ratings system is its lack of a system for measuring television audiences in environments outside the home, such as college dormitories, transport terminals, bars, and other public places where television is frequently viewed, often by large numbers of people in a common setting.

Jun 2nd 2008 2:11PM I don't think iEye is off base. This really is a terrible name. And Apple does very good at naming products.

I don't understand your point. From an economic standpoint, whether or not Apple can sell x number of Minis doesn't determine whether they are over priced or not. It being successful, does not tell us "how successful it might have been"
Apple operates under a competitive type strategy so in theory they are trying to maximize profit as opposed to revenue.
You very well may be right, but you can't determine that based on the enigmatic "success" because they most likely want to maximize profit, not just be in the green.
Dollhouse to midseason... and other network news {TV Squad}
May 12th 2008 12:02PM Firefly was so good I almost don't want to watch. I'll really like it and then it will get cancelled. It seems like only comedies are allowed to be daring/risky. Anything that doesn't make fun of it's self but attempts to be deep is torn apart by cynical critics.

Literally? Was there a news story I missed? Or do you mean figuratively?
