That’s fair enough, I’ll go ahead and throw your list back in.  Your logic doesn’t make sense to me but you at least explained your opinion.  I could see it similar to somebody who’s favorite sports team is whichever team is performing the best that year.

 

I agree.  His methods are different than the rest of us but there's no rule that says you can't submit a list based on his logic.

That being said I don't go to art galleries and tell everyone how meaningless the paintings are and all that matters is how much you could flog them for on the black market

Ah, the "ain't no rule says a dog can't play basketball" principle

He made his case.  I don't care either way if the list is allowed or not.  But he at least believes in what he is submitting.

[CoolioD1]

guys, please take the list seriously.

[The Panda]

I'll throw his list in last and I'll monitor closely how it changes things.  If it appears to be altering the list in major way (which given the current list, I don't believe it will) I'll come in and ask for second opinions.

 

Either way, this whole list compilation is for fun, and I do want it to be a measurement of this forums opinions.  He is apart of the forum, and it does appear like it is his opinion.

[baumer]

I don't think his list is really going to affect things all that much.  Is anyone else really going to have Twilight and Transformers sequels on their list?  Titanic and Avatar will people's lists already and as Panda said, this is for fun.  And we might not agree with his methods, but based on what he is saying, he believes that his list is a true representation of how he he feels.  

[cannastop]

When will the countdown begin?

[rukaio101]

Yeah, I'm with TOG on this one. Are you guys fucking serious? What part of any of that drivel made you think JCS was being in the slightest bit sincere about his 'opinion'? He's just doing the exact same wannabe-intellectual trolling schtick that he always does. His literal 'argument' is 'I C&Ped the Top 100 highest grossing films because I wanted my 'opinion' (aka, a subjective medium) to be based on objective facts.... but not objective facts related to actual quality like a movie's measured critical score or audience reaction or even BO legs, because that wouldn't put Cameron films in first.' What part of that strikes you remotely as credible?

 

Hell, I don't even really give two shits about the eventual final list and/or whether his gets included in the tally, I'm just annoyed that you seem to be accepting his clearly insincere reasoning.

 

[IronJimbo]

If JCS isn't a intellectual then who the hell is 😂

[Arlborn]

I suppose someone can have the personality of a jerk without being a troll. If you are a 100% straight-faced jerk then you indeed do not always have to fit the modern definition of being a troll since your behavior is so ingrained in your personal self identity that you are not always being deliberately offensive or provocative when you say something that for most other people would sound provocative. 

 

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is that some people are just too caught up in themselves to be aware of how their behavior is actually pretty crappy by most people's standards.

This is extremely weak.

1. If he wanted to put Jim films first he could have anyway and it would have caused less fuzz

2. Those "objective facts" you listed aren't objective

 

To quote JCS.. is this the state of education.. or something

[Rorschach]

I feel like you guys are making this a lot more complicated than it needs to be. 

[baumer]

I just personally feel that he is telling the truth.  I don't agree with his logic but who am I to say what his top 100 should look like.

I agree. I don't understand why some people are so mad about my list.

I can only surmise that we have a lot of totalitarians around here, there seems to be some people who really do love telling others how and what to think.

Yeah on second thought maybe allow The Last Jedi the points it'd get from being #9 and throw out the rest

I have not been around in a while and I come back to see the Cameron trolls pulling another stunt

 

And what Jake

You liked The Last Jedi ?

It's the improved version tbh.  ET was lacking a scene where Paul Rudd in a wheelchair rolls off a cliff
