...and watched it today. Really dull at first, and barely indicative of Dreyer's talents, but builds and builds to a deeply affecting climax. Worth seeking out.

So is what you're saying that you'd give the gold rush and the thief of bagdad scores less than 73?

My goodness.

My goodness.

It's been over five years since I've seen both, so all that I can remember is that I liked them. And hey, 70-75 is a damn good score on my new scale (I might not look too discriminating at the moment, but my festivalgoing has been exceptionally good so far).

monolith94 · 06-11-2008, 04:36 PM

See, I work in schools, where a 70-75 woud be a C, and a C is just average. That's how I score movies, personally, like as if I were grading a paper.
