Thats pretty well-balanced comment. Not just because I agree, but it makes a fair point about contextualising stars/5. I really love The Dark Knight score, but am happy to read negative reviews of it (i also liked M:I by Elfman and Fiedel's Terminator scores which have "infamous" reviews on here), but, to be fair, I wouldn't really blame CC for not being able to remember exactly what he'd given another score, judging by his workload on the site and how he's reviewing new scores as well as expanding older reviews.
Bear in mind he is still a human on the other end of a PC (or mac :-|), not some film score-reviewing machine... so he has to make time for having a life as well... and he's the only guy doing the site, from what i gather...
