Is the cover art they used for Satantango just a fan made thing? http://www.criticker.com/film/Satantango/

I'm interested in a letterboxd invite if anyone has one available. This site looks like it has real potential.

I just decided to try out the site since I'm always up for accurate recommendations, but I got to say that making me adhere to a 100-point scale feels tiresome, especially since it doesn't properly use it. (When I gave a film a score of 70%, I didn't expect it to go under the heading of "Not Good".)

Yeah, I give all my reviews a score of 0-5, since that's the only kinds of ratings my feeble mind can grasp. (Hmm, is this an 88 or an 86?) After 50 or so reviews, those settled into Tiers 0,2,4,6,8, and 10. Changing the colors and rankings manually made things a lot more appealing.

Yeah, not only does Criticker let you rank on whatever scale you want, but it let's you determine what those numbers mean. It's really well implemented.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:You don't even have to adhere to the 100 point scale, although once you get used to it it's hard to go back. I look at my imdb ratings now and look at my 8s or 7s and there's such a huge variety of films in those rankings that imdb doesn't differentiate.

kuddles posted:I guess my concern is how well the recommendations will work, then, since there may be a ton of people giving scores on the assumption that anything below 80 is not worth watching.

Okay, I guess I just misinterpreted how the system worked. Good to know before I spend another slow work afternoon rating things.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:for some people it's great. This is me. I like to save the 90s for movies that I really love personally - I don't even have a full page of 90s ratings and I have three pages of just 76 - so my idea of a great movie pretty much starts at 82.

Letterboxd:TrixRabbi posted:So after playing around with this for 20 minutes or so I have mixed feelings. It's really slow right now, although I assume they'll fix that with updates as they get closer to an official launch. I think it needs a bit more to differentiate itself from Criticker. It's layout is nice, although a bit less convenient in some cases. I do love the diary aspect though. An import from Criticker aspect would be very nice. I do love the look of it all. I'll play around with it some more. I basically feel the same way. I love the layout and really love the diary aspect but it just seems cumbersome to have to re-add 1000+ films with reviews & ratings, etc. The import from Criticker would be perfect. Again it is in beta right now so we'll see what else they do to differentiate themselves. Any other goons here with a Letterboxd account, who wants another follower, let me know.

If criticker has tought me anything it's that I am very generous when it comes to giving scores to movies. My rankings in the 90s take up 3 and 2/3rds pages while my ranking 1-50 about 2 and 1/3rds.

Nobody should beat themselves up about liking more movies than they dislike; it's probably a big reason you're into them as a hobby in the first place. I wouldn't be a film guy if I only had a 50/50 chance of enjoying something. And meticulously "relativizing" your scale doesn't seem that necessary either.

I wouldn't be a film guy if I only had a 50/50 chance of enjoying something. And meticulously "relativizing" your scale doesn't seem that necessary either. The way I see it is I usually only watch movies that I know I'm likely to enjoy. I'm picky about what I choose to see so I tend to enjoy what I watch. Thus, most of my Criticker scores fall above the 70s. Sometimes I consider spreading my scores out more evenly, but then I remember that I have, in fact, seen movies worthy of 50s, 30s, even 10s. I just don't watch many of those.

I feel like I'm in the same boat. I rarely see a film I dislike these days. At worst, it just feels mediocre. I'm guessing it's a combination of the ease of finding recommendations, reviews and comparisons out there and an increasing ability to have a good idea of what I am going to like based off that information. Of course, in some ways that might be a bad thing: I saw a lot of films I hated in the past, but I also occasionally found a pleasant surprise because I took the risk on something I thought I would hate.

Did a bit of a double take just now: Does anyone know how the "popularity" thing works? It seems to not have any grounding in reality.
|

I think it's based off of number of rankings. It does seem a little bit odd that a Disney movie is considered on the same level of popularity as a random Pokemon movie.

Sorry, should've clarified a bit better: the picture is unrelated to the popularity ranking. I did a double take because for a second I thought there was some Pokemon movie about "Jews."

When I first joined Criticker in mid-2006, there was a feature where you could find the best matched film critics for your predicted scores. What happened with that? Also, my username is shenks. I've watched relatively few movies since about 2004 but I'm starting to try to change that again. It's really weird when you go through movies you ranked 5+ years ago and you've been amazingly generous to them.

It took me forever, but I added all you fine kumpels. My Criticker name is Dumbsday - if I could be added to the OP, that would be swell. I haven't used the site since this time last year, when I didn't take it as seriously. I had a bunch of 100s and all of my ratings are divisible by five. I'm looking forward to actually taking my time and assigning well thought-out scores.

I hit 600 films rated, woo hoo. Going to try and go through my ratings and write reviews for all of them, though it's going to take forever.

Just got Criticker, and I've been compulsively adding movies as a madwoman. Mainly cross-referencing from my ICheckMovies account. I don't have a lot of mini-reviews up, but I'll work on it. It also makes me realize how much absolute poo poo I sat through with my sister to spend time with her. I'm futurememory on there, same as SA, and I have no Kumpels. I think I'll figure that out soon.

Does anyone have a spare letterboxd invite they could spare me? Is it even worth it over Criticker? I've been using criticker for a while (username is piratejerk, add me yo) and I don't really have any complaints but letterboxd looks new and shiny so I figure I'd like to give it a try.

Letterboxd is worthwhile if you really want to go overboard and keep track of the date you watched movies on. Otherwise there's nothing it offers that Criticker doesn't.

Letterboxd is incredibly barebones at the moment -- it looks and feels like reading a bunch of moviewatchers' Tumblr blogs at the same time. It's impressive that it's attracted a large number of users, many who post lengthy reviews and comment on stuff. If you're the type to write/follow such amateur movie blogs, then you'll fit right in. I'm not compelled to participate in it myself, and prefer the briefer reviews on Criticker (with TCI sorting). For a socially oriented site, it's surprising that it still lacks any metric for compatibility between users. Obviously there's potential for much more if/when that's implemented. The list feature is inundated with people's personal Top Film lists, so ICheckMovies is still better at that. Their insistence on putting poster art everywhere makes the site flashy but incredibly annoying to navigate/browse. The site lacks a forum, so you get poo poo like lists with its comments being treated as threads. Guerrand fucked around with this message at Jun 29, 2012 around 08:44 |

A big deal for me is that it requires you to search out each individual film to rate it, whereas Criticker just throws titles at you with a great way to sort them. You can use top films lists on Letterboxd, but as you go along, more and more of the films appearing on titles are gonna be repetitions.
