nah I like him a lot. I'm just trying to adapt a harsher rating system to highlight differences. 7.5 is supposed to be very good. By comparison check Welles and Bergman who are my favs.

didnt know bergman was your fave

keeping a consisent rating system is a nightmare to me every year I take a look at my ratings and go "no way these are equal" but re-rating means you have to adjust every other rating as well

Buster Keaton

1. The General
2. Sherlock Jr.

4. Steamboat Bill Jr.
5. Seven Chances
