Before, if I'm not sure whether to see it or not.

Before, if I'm looking forward to it. I love spoilers.

Before, to figure out plot details I might miss out on otherwise -- for example if it's based on a comic I haven't read.

If I have no intention of seeing it, to see someone completely trash it.

If I have no intention of seeing it, to find out a spoiler everyone's talking about. The little girl was actually a midget, huh?

I'm wondering if I'm the only one that reads reviews AFTER seeing a movie. Might help me think more about what I'm doing for my own reviews too.

Started editing Fuji pictures after cutting around two hundred down to 37. Here's one I really liked. If you click on it, it'll take you to the largest size, which is computer wallpaper size.

I read reviews... er... Not that often, actually, because I rarely see movies. I read reviews by writers I like, whether or not it's a movie I have any intention of seeing. Sometimes it convinces me to see the movie, so I guess that's a good thing? I usually try to avoid spoilers, if I think it's a movie that relies a lot on plot twists, but otherwise I don't care too much.

It was so pretty, wasn't it... I had about 50 versions of that shot, but managed to narrow it down to 3. XD;

Yeah, I've been known to read movie reviews just because they've been on a blog I read. Normally I do it knowing they'll never even be released in Japan.

I narrowed it down to about 37 or so in the end!

That photo is lovely.

I voted other because I never read movie reviews.

*Pretty* picture!

I sometimes read a few reviews to try to get a sense of what the movie's about, if I haven't seen / heard much about it. But I usually read afterward (and, if I write a review, after that %^}) to see what other people thought. It's something like going to a coffee shop after a screening and talking over a film with friends.

Thanks!

It's funny, but if I plan to write a review I hold off reading other people's.

I almost never read reviews. Or, frankly, listen anymore that much to people - even friends - who tell me what to watch/not to watch. I've seen too many movies/not seen too many movies because I read reviews/listened to people, only to love/hate the movies when I did see them, missing out on a handful of good ones until way after they came out and ending up absolutely hating some that everyone told me to see.

Although I never agree with all movie reviews, I can usually get a sense of the critic's biases and whether I will like it or not. Having said that, I rarely read reviews to decide about films.

I'm not that interested in movie reviews (or movies) for the most part, but when there's some big super-popular movie out sometimes I'll skim a review just to find out what it's about. I don't like reading reviews before I see a movie.

I'm waiting for your Fuji story because you said it was awful. XDD

I changed my mind! It was awesome! XDDDDDD

Luckily, I still have all my notes where I lay out in detail what made it hell. :P

Ahaha XD. Never.

I just came back to say goodbye. It's been a long, strange trip here. You take care!
