Um, yes.

Like, for example, what are we suppost to talk about, and why is this in user reviews?

Simply for argument's sake, let's say that I don't like this movie, when in fact I haven't seen it. Why should I not not like it?

OP, you might want to explain about the film - I'll copy the plot synopsis off wikipedia and post a video off youtube about the film in question as an example (but user-reviews should be written by yourself) - if this is meant to be a joke - its not funny - at all...:

----------------------------------

The Butterfly Effect is a 2004 American science fiction thriller film starring Ashton Kutcher, Amy Smart, Eric Stoltz, and others, distributed by New Line Cinema. The title is a reference to the butterfly effect, which theorises that a change in something seemingly innocuous, such as a flap of a butterfly's wings, may have unexpected larger consequences in the future, such as the path a hurricane will travel. The Butterfly Effect is directed and written by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber.


Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher), who suffered severe traumas as a boy (Logan Lerman) and a teenager (John Patrick Amedori), blacks out frequently, often at moments of high stress. While searching for an answer to heal his emotional wounds, he finds that when he reads from his adolescent journals, he travels back in time, and is able to essentially "redo" parts of his past, thereby causing the blackouts he experienced as a child. There are consequences to his choices, however, that he then propagates back to the present: his alternate futures vary from frat boy to prisoner to amputee. His efforts are driven by the desire to undo the most traumatic events of his childhood which coincide with his blackouts, including saving his childhood sweetheart Kayleigh (Amy Smart), from being abused by her father.

The actions he takes, and those he enables others to take during his blackouts change the timeline whereupon he wakes up in his new future. As he continues to do this, he realizes that even though his intentions are good, the actions he takes have unintended consequences.

etc...
As for the use of the name Guitarmasterx7 (who I have subscribed to on youtube for a long time now) - are you the true account owner - although Ultimate Chance used his youtube name, I find it hard to beleive someone with a large fan base such as GMX7 would use that name on a forum. If your not the real owner of the youtube account - what is the point in using the name, along with cliqued jokes off their channal (which makes me doubt the fact your not the owner).

There will be and are worse Ray Bradbury rip-offs. And there will be and are worse Ashton Kutcher movies. So.....yeah.

All I understand is the Butterfly Effect:
  • If a butterfly flaps it's wings over Los Angeles, weather will be drastically different over China three months later
(Or something to that effect) indicating that Weather is a finicky little thing with unfinite variables. More infinite than 'in' suggests.

It's actually one of my all time favourite films... and just because Ashton Kutcher has a serious role when he's usually in stuff like 'Dude where's my car?' doesn't automatically make it bad (which is what I asume the 'need I say more?' is implying... i mean it's so ambiguous that could mean anything). By that bulletproof logic perhaps we should just asume all your threads are as much of a waste of space as this one, then?

Also, what, if any, relevance does that poll have?
