Is watching one movie a day really that impressive? I bet a ton of people in old folk's homes have him beat by virtue of sitting around all day in the in vicinity of televisions.

No, it's not and the Guinness World Records were a joke long before this. It's a consultancy that people hire for PR ("verification").

Watching movies doesn't give you all the facts to become an impressive movie critic. Would you for example know the exact number of Oscars each lord of the rings movies got from just watching them?

No, I would look Oscar wins up on a wiki just like everyone else.

Then you would not be a very good movie critic, just an elderly person.

I don’t really get your point. Having an encyclopedic knowledge of trivia surely doesn’t make you a good critic, either?

I take it you're not a gregghead.

Or how many Blondie movies there are? No Googling!

Penny Singleton or Debbie Harry?

Videodrome's a classic.

Death to Videodrome!

Long live the New Flesh!

Maybe he saw them in theatres

Typical Greghead response
