Hey, Take it easy!!  This newsgroup is for the exchange of ideas and
thoughts regarding movies, be they sci-fi, high drama, comedy, whatever.
Let's don't start getting angry with people simply if they have a common
interest; part of being a movie "critic" (and I think that's part of why
this group exists) is to discuss the flaws and/or successes of any film.
If we start forbidding (or merely severely chastising) those who say
"Yes, I saw the same thing, and here's something else" then we might as
well completely restrict the group to reviews.  No discussions, arguments,
etc.  But I hardly believe that's the intent of a more-or-less interactive
discussion forum.

Two reviews might rave about a film, but for different reasons.  So should
we arbitrarily shut down all "agreeing" reviews simply to avoid the
aforementioned "Me, Too!" syndrome?  I didn't think so.
