Re: How do you rate ridiculously bad movies: 0 or >0 ?

By textbook I meant rating movies strictly on a "how good is it" way, as if they were being ranked for a study of film.

Re: In your ratings, how do you account for the novelty factor and the chronological order in which you watched your mov

If I review it, I admit I'm being a forgiving, schmaltzy, nostalgic bum by giving it more points than it deserves. Or if I don't I just let it ride and occasionally bring it up elsewhere just to remind people I'm a monster who gave Bio-Dome a perfect 100.

Re: 100 things I hate in movies

93. *Any* character of *any* age, gender, size, strength etc will be able to immediately knock someone unconscious by hitting them on the head with any random object that came to hand.

Re: How do you rate ridiculously bad movies: 0 or >0 ?

The ranking system can only work if all users reply (by way of their ratings) to the same question. To put it in the simplest possible terms, I'd say the question is "How good/bad did you find the movie?" Now if users use their vote to reply to different questions, e.g. "How much did...
