Correct. The higher the number of beers, the worse the movie.
Typically this is a scale from 0 (awesome 'classic') to 6 (really drunk), or even 8. But there exist "infinite beer" movies (such at The Gate or Prometheus where you couldn't possibly drink enough beer to actually enjoy the movie).
EDIT: And aren't drinking, movies, and public nudity a time-honored tradition?

Prometheus went off the rails in a bad way.

I normally rate them the other way around. The fewer beers a movie gets, the less likely I am to want to watch it.
For example, 'Barbarian Queen II' gets a solid six-pack of Guinness XX, while, say 'Titanic', or 'Mamma Mia', get a half-can of lukewarm Bud Light.
As an unrepentant lover of both Abba and Greece, I really like Mamma Mia.

So my mom is having surgery to remove cancer on her face in a few weeks and is freaking out.
To the point that she dug her old photo album out of the cupboard last night and went through it with my sister (she's usually "Why on earth would you want to look back?") and actually asked for help getting the house, yard, etc. ready for her to be out of commission until the end of June.
She didn't even ask me to come help when her husband died.
And she's asking to see her grandchildren.
Gee, wonder if she's suddenly worried about her mortality?
So I got a couple of days off at the end of the month and am taking the kids up.

If it had Agnetha and Benny in chitons, fighting a hydra, I'd be right in there.

I find four dozen grams of weed to be sufficient for enjoying Prometheus.

When I'm tired, I eat brains. Including his. It's all fairness and equity.

Ahhh I misunderstood. I thought the more beers, the better the movie.

It was a little after 10:00 am down in Fremont. Shiro felt it at his office, but then he's on the 5th floor. I felt nothing. But Albany's on bedrock, so unless it's really close we usually don't.

That's when they strike, when Midwesterners are sleeping.
Five years in Seattle and every earthquake hit at 2 in the morning, never woke up, but heard all about it on the morning news.

Always entertaining working with PMs.
The deadline for their reviews was Friday, April 6.
I addressed all their comments on April 9, but they requested extra time, the lead gave them the time, and we had a bunch of new comments today. One guy asked for extra time so the lead gave him 'til 10:00 am and then locked down the review.
Trouble is, since I'm not the lead, I couldn't address the comments on a locked review. So the lead had to unlock it for me.
Did all the updates all afternoon, notified the lead and my manager that I was all done and she could lock things down again, and my manager asked, "What's with all the open comments?"
Sure enough, one of the PMs had snuck in behind me and added a TON of comments the moment we unlocked things.
I really want to respond to every single one with, "You're a buttwiener."
But that might be considered unprofessional by some...

How about ASCII art of a middle finger? Or just write "This comment was submitted after the deadline, so I don't have to give a flying f!@* about it."

My allergies have been kicking my ass lately. I blame the cats...
...and the dogs...
...and the pollen...
...and the weather...
..and living in the swamp, a.k.a. Savannah, GA.

EDIT: I was just re-responding to this because seeing the deer on Friday reminded me of Shiro's story of a woman in Michigan who stopped him on the street to point out a deer, couldn't figure out what kind of animal it was, and was trying to decide whether or not to dial 911 to report a bear loose in the neighborhood. Pretty scary stuff!
O.O
How.
>:I

Deer, beer, there's a difference?

And this, kids, is why TV Nature documentaries are important.

Hallao.
I shaved back down to my usual goatee about a month ago. I mistakenly thought winter was over. Our weekdays have been pretty solid spring days. Our weekends have been solid. Ice and snow solid. Winter every weekend. I wonder if summer is only going to happen on weekends? That wouldn't be terrible.
