I feel kind of dumb stating the obvious here, TV Tropes isn't a person or even an organization capable of possessing a singular opinion, it's a conglomerate of the opinions of anyone who edits it. (myself included)

I think I just figured out a way to control your mind! *starts editing tvtropes madly*

More seriously, I think it's less likely you somehow agree with the opinion of *every* single random hoser who edits an entry on tvtropes and more of you not having a strong opinion. You quickly make the first thing you read about a *insert noun* on tvtropes your own opinion because you're easily persuaded and think tvtropes is the best thing since indoor plumbing. The fact your first action after seeing this clip is to find out what your opinion of it is on tvtropes is disturbing.

The film is too old school and sophisticated for tv tropes.

Read Ebert's essay:

I'm a busy man, I don't have time to watch a whole series of a random show from years gone by. If tvtropes had a good opinion of it then I'ld check it out otherwise I don't have the time.

Time enough for WoW, though, and frequent perusal of tvtropes? [Wink] Busy indeed.
