Right. I believe the topic here was what kind of influence this guy Harry Knowles has in the US, and hence to the game of HSX.

I believe his influence abroad is close to zero. But in the US, he seems to have some?

I took it upon me to read about a hundred or so of the comments below his review of TERM4. Many pointed out that he would fawn over any GFB crapfest, so why the hate for TERM4 etc etc. Many pointed out that his credibility was near zero or exactly zero. I believe almost all comments I read was from North Americans + perhaps one or two from the UK (but I don't think so).

As for TERM4, nothing suggests it was hated abroad AFTER watching. That's what I tried to tell you - WOM was very good!

Now, on IMDB it has an average of 7.0, which isn't horrible. It translates to more than two out of three liking it, or 3.5 out of 5 possible stars. That's galaxies away from the mindless and foul-mouthed thrashing GFB guru Knowles delivered.
