Maybe it's because I spelled it without a hyphen. Mini-series would be more easily understood. From what you tell me (and some of the typos you make) you seem to be suffering from a mild case of dyslexia. Another possibility is that you were about to have a stroke when you read the word. (I learned that one from House, sorry.)
I'm flattered by your esteem of my film knowledge. I don't know how much of it is real knowledge and how much is just me having an opinion and being very passionate about it. But I have spent ridiculous amounts of time on IMDb. I certainly know a lot of names. As I was saying the other day, though, I seem to be more interested in reading/talking/thinking about films than watching them lately.
Most of my opinions on film were sort of molded by stuff I read in Cinema Scope. It's become kind of a running joke now amongst me and some friends that I don't actually have any opinion of my own, but just go with whatever Cinema Scope says about it. Whenever I talk about wanting to see a movie, it's usually because I read something about it in Cinema Scope. Of course, there are cases where I do disagree with them, but they are rather rare.
I think The Lost Room sounds entertaining and interesting. I wouldn't really expect an American mini-series to be anything more than that. I may check it out.
Your Cinema Scope influence sounds like my Allmusic one. I hated that my opinion was being involuntarily influenced by a source so bias and opinionated. At least you managed to make a joke of yours, mine was much more of a problem - though I did learn a lot.
"you seem to be suffering from a mild case of dyslexia" You should see me write a letter! Whole words disappear.
I don't consider my Cinema Scope influence a problem, because I already had some bias of my own when I started reading it. The reason it had such an impact on me was that it resonated with some of my own ideas and just kind of amplified them.
I like them precisely because they are biased and arrogant about it.
