I love trolling as much as anyone else, but WHY on earth can no IMDB user use past/present-tense correctly?
I hate IMDB, it's rating system, and it's forums, but I've been pretty excited about the new Star Wars film. So I went to check out the trailer and was not disappointed by the short 30 second clip or however long it was.
Like an idiot I start reading the comments and what not on the "Message Board." I swear, IMDB is full of:
A.) trolls
B.) non-english speakers
C.) complete morons
A is unavoidable, obviously, and IMDB is ripe for trolls who want to piss off movie lovers. I'm not a huge movie fan. I don't spend every waking hour dissecting plot summaries, character arcs, etc, but I do enjoy a good flick from The Pirate Bay every now and then. I'm not into the "independent" film scene or anything. Huge movie lovers, geeks, and that whole "indie" crowd are a big target for trolls. Geeks of any nature really are for that matter, but IMDB attracts a special kind of stupid.
B is something that I put up with at work often. Interpreting what Radeem Shamir Kalakalakabad is trying to tell my dev team from his remote location in Peshewar has become a full-time job itself. I'm not sure if Star Wars has a large international following, I thought it was mostly an American thing.
Which brings me to C. All of the people posting on IMDB are just stupid. Either that or children who all failed 3rd grade English. There are so many weirdos on IMDB; right now as I type this some dude is spamming his fan-screenplay for Episode 7 as if anyone would actually give a crap. IMDB is very similar to Craigslist. It's just weird.

YouTube, ESPN, and IMDB comment sections are the digital equivalent of riding public transportation--you know what you are getting involved with before hand so you shouldn't be surprised at the sights you see. Though, without fail, you are still shocked by what you see.

there are unlimited threads and posts about "what do you think about so and so playing this obscure character from this crappy childhood book no one has ever heard of?"Is there a community on imdb? I guess i would have had to have noticed that at some point. What use is there for comments sections there? Is it like the comments someone posts when they do a review?
its deliciously bad.

I love reading IMDB reviews of kids movies written by adults.
Like one person rated the Mighty Ducks poorly because the hockey wasn't realistic.
