I'm watching John Stossel on 20/20 about people who worry about things they shouldn't.  Strangely enough I'm worried that people won't be able to figure out what this show is about.  Let's face it, the vast majority of people don't understand match so they don't understand statistics either.  I'm really enjoying this show, but I know it won't help the people it really needs to help.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like fatewemake.
fatewemake must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could fatewemake possibly have for not rating a single film?
