ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling out an entire thread saying anyone who doesn't like this movie is a liar who makes things up about it. Wow.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Mar 2, 2015, 12:11 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nope.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Long time troll
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This guy's close to orgasm about this movie being the top box office draw of 2014. Probably not the only thing about it that has him breathing heavily.
But I'm voting to leave the post alone. I may see on one of my premium channels but not in the theatre.

Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Opinion - and it doesn't even specify DUers.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: It isn't THAT hard to say that people who haven't seen it don't know what they're talking about without calling them liars. Inappropriate.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Not calling everyone liars. Just those who trash it without seeing it. Like me. I'm a liar too. I hate the movie. It's crap. I have not seen it. Did read the book tho. Same with fifty shades.
This alert just didn't do it for me.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
