“The word I used was tactless, meaning if someone says to me, “Don’t see this movie, and it sucks” and yet they haven’t seen it, its safe to say that person has little tact.”
I find it hard to believe that in your entire life you’ve never made a decision on seeing/not seeing a movie based on third party scuttlebutt, or ever said the phrase, “The reviews said it stinks(or similar adjective)” to another person.
Reviewers are people that have actually seen the movie, and no I can't remember that last time I avoided a movie because of the advice of someone who hasn't seen it.
In fact, the last recommendation I got from a friend was to see a movie called Running Scared with Paul Walker. It was the worst piece of garbage I've ever watched. So I'm unlikely to listen to people who have actually seen the film, much less people who haven't.
