I would never have imagined that America would become similar to soviet CCCP!

The famous American Dream is in decline and there's something  definitely wicked about corporate, liberal, capitalist AmeriKa! 

IMDB is a best example for this decadence: OLD IMDB offered threads and accepted whatever reviews because it knew that users were foremost cinema fans. In a decade, i never had a single review rejected! 

In 2017, the NEW IMDB arrives! It starts closing threads and then declines reviews non-stop with fallacious and laughable reasons as: Factually incorrect, Does not meet contribution guidelines, BaDLy FoRmatED, Unable to verify ...

I understand that NEW IMDB wants only candid content, everything is fine and everyone has talent in reviews. Do they know that bad movies, uninspired directors and untalented cast exist and that foremost, as a cultural and subjective medium, movies, especially adult ones, have never a neutral content? I wonder ...

It's also funny to notice they allow adult movies but they emasculate them: describing in a review what we actually see is an obscenity and all pics, all lists are banned!

So, instead of watching and understanding movies, NEW IMDB just searches for little hands to write their ideas. If your reviews differs from their OWN perspective, it's declined!

At the end, it's not anymore YOUR reviews that appear on this website but only the reviews that new IMDB expects you to write AND it's no more the IMDB users who rates the reviews but the WebMASTER itself...

So, there is only the illusion of freedom expression in this site as the 1st constitutional amendement is currently trampled here ...

With deep regrets, as in my mainstream account, i fight back this tyranny by stopping writing reviews ONCE FOR ALL.

The deadline of my resolution is still uncertain albeit surely fixed: once the fateful and personal number of 69 declined reviews will be reached.

So, you will find below the so awful reviews that NEW IMDB censored. I let you judge of their content!

I just hope that many old and new reviewers will follow the same rebellion so that NEW IMDB falls short of reviews and true movies fans would meet elsewhere  ...

MERCI A VOUS!

UPDATE AUGUST 2019 > THAT'S IT - the final episode ! 

Everything is now folded : 75 reviews DECLINED + 555 reviews APPROVED - 6 - 3 - 0

It's nice, round figures and as announced, it's the END for me. 

I'm a bit sad because it was a 5 years and a half run, very instructive the 4 first years (100% reviews approved) & totally senseless the last one with NEW IMDB CENSORSHIP policy (drop to 63%) ... 

My other lists will go on growing to have the promised 69 names but this one and all the reviews WILL NEVER CHANGE NOW. I left them as they are today and if I say FAREWELL, i'm also HAPPY BECAUSE NOW I FEEL .... FREE .... ! :)

UPDATE JULY 2020 > TAKE THAT IMDB: even your POTUS says it > Trump’s Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship: " The petition requests that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) clarify that Section 230 does NOT permit SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES that ALTER or EDITORIALIZE USER'S SPEECH to escape civil liability ... The petition also requests that the FCC clarify when an ONLINE PLATFORM CURATES CONTENT in “good faith,” and requests TRANSPARENCY requirements on their MODERATION PRACTICE". Enough said !!!!!!

UPDATE MAY 2022 > THEY EVEN REMOLD RATING VOTING RIGHT: i just discovered this fact today, after nearly 20 YEARS of being a user ... so maybe OLD IMDB was already like that but i'm just stunned to learn that the IMDB RATING for any production isn't MATHEMATICS but an HIDDEN TAMPERING! they explain their fraud like this: " although we accept and consider all votes received by users, not all votes have the same impact. When unusual voting activity is detected, an alternate weighting calculation may be applied in order to preserve the reliability of our system. To ensure that our rating mechanism remains effective, we do not disclose the exact method used to generate the rating". Nowadays, we know this argument very well: REALITY IS NOT WHAT WE WANT FOR YOU - WE WANT TO PROTECT YOU - SO WE BUILD A FAKE REALITY FOR A BETTER WORLD EVEN IF WE HAVE TO STOMP LAW,  CANCEL FACTS, FORBID ACCESS ... for an example: a movie can look good for IMDB (rating 5) while users find it poor (Arithmetic 4,5 - Median 3,5). As i have already said about reviews, this site displays only its opinions, looks for docile contributors ONLY and ignore everyone else !!!!
