To be clear, I am pointing out that the character, Sam Wheat, was played by Patrick Swayze and briefly by Whoopi Goldberg.

[Max Peck]

Taxi Driver

[Anonymous Bosch]

Taxi Driver

I'm not sure De Niro could accurately be described as 'tall':

[Jaymann]

I thought he was going for Peter Boyle at 6ft 2 ¼.

[Anonymous Bosch]

I thought he was going for Peter Boyle at 6ft 2 ¼.

Perhaps. Then again, 'handsome' hardly seems an apt description of the balding character he portrayed in Taxi Driver either:

[Jaymann]

Didn't seem to hold back Yul Brynner.

[Anonymous Bosch]

Didn't seem to hold back Yul Brynner.

True, but that's because a clean-shaven appearance almost invariably looks way better than the balding shaggy doughnut-style Boyle went with in Taxi Driver.

[Max Peck]

I'm not sure De Niro could accurately be described as 'tall':

The internet tells me that he's probably 5' 10" tall (some sources go as low as 5' 7, others as high as 5' 11") which, if true, would make him slightly above average height for a North American male, so I'll leave it to the judge to decide whether he's tall enough. Or handsome enough. Or dark enough. Or whether the character is psychotic enough.

Anyway, is dumping on other people's entries a fun part of the game that I've been missing out on?

It was merely a flippant observation on my part, so no need for anyone to get their knickers in a knot. As you said, if the judge decides De Niro's role in Taxi Driver equates to 'Tall, Dark, and Handsome' + 'A Psychic, Psychotic, or Psychologist', that's fine with me and really all that matters.

Let's take a brief moment here and clear this up.

To answer your question: YES, to some degree, it is. This is a Card Game/ Board Game - and when a bunch of friends play a game together, there is a degree of critique and ribbing that is considered FUN.

Especially in a game like this. Or, have you ever played 'Apples to Apples'.... similar mechanic - players take turns to be the judge, and it's the judge's opinion you need to win over.

I suppose I am more or less infamous for being the one that "complains" the most here, but I've always been frustrated that it seems to be taken so negatively, like you say: "dumping on" - rather than just a small aspect of the game that's generally meant in good nature.

So, to answer your question (again).... Yes... There is a degree of fun in pointing out that Shawshank Redemption's "ladder" is a joke compared to (I think someone else played) the Great Escape's "wheel-barrel". As a player (I played neither Shawshank nor the Great Escape) it's fun to discuss these things.

Honestly... otherwise this is just people submitting movie titles and judges saying: 'winner'. That's just empty, to me.

Being a dick about being a dick doesn't make someone not a dick. Just sayin', Francis.

Good to know. I've been deliberately avoiding that sort of commentary, because it seems a little dickish to denigrate someone else's take instead of pitching my own. But if taking shots at other players is in the spirit of the game, then I'll keep that in mind.

I hope that you are saying this in good spirits and not taking it the way you keep making it sound.

And , this is just my unpopular (perhaps) opinion.

Clearly -I- feel it’s part of the game. But I think also clearly, some people seem to take insult to any criticism and see it as just complaining (or, wow, being a dick) , so I was hoping to hear other people’s take on it before you declare that I’ve decided we should all ‘dump on each other ‘ and be dicks about it.
