Take It To The Limit, One More Time
Well, ever since I posted the link to Anna Nicole’s seminal action flick To The Limit it has received 11 votes (plus mine) and has actually dropped to 2.5 stars (out of 10). Seems a little shady to me.
First of all, I think most men subscribe to my rating system, which gives a movie 2 stars for each boob shown, plus one bonus star if some of them happen to be two cup sizes larger than anything you can find a proper container for at your neighborhood Victoria’s Secret. And since I’m sure no woman other than Anna Nicole Smith ever watched that crapfest of a movie, that means the lowest rating it should receive is 5 stars. So I was a tad suspicious of IMDB from the beginning.
But since then myself and eleven of my readers undoubtedly gave it a ten and it somehow is rated worse than it was. It should be at least at 4 right now. There could be two reasons for this discrepancy.
The first is that some of the ratings came from someone other than my readers, maybe people who saw her IMDB entry when searching around for her after her death. But surely nobody would be so cruel as to give 3 or fewer stars to a movie starring a girl who just died, so we’ll toss that out.
The second possibility is that IMDB is rigged. They’re taking money from the studios for ratings. Since Anna is no longer alive to pay them, they’ve begun punishing her classic film for it.
That must be the answer. I can’t think of any other reason why a movie deserving of five booby points alone (and, I’ll admit, probably no non-booby points) is only rated 2.5. It just doesn’t add up.
