I've been having some thoughts on my
rating system and wondering if I need to add another level.
Right now this is how things get rated:
- One star* is just awful. I never want to watch it again. I probably couldn't even get through the whole thing and I'm sorry I wasted precious minutes of my life.
- Two stars** are movies/tv shows that I didn't like, but I was able to get through and I don't want to ever watch again and I probably won't recommend to anyone else.
- Three stars*** are good, but I'm not itching to watch again and again.
- Four stars**** are great. I want to watch them again. I will sing their praises from my front porch.
- Five stars***** are my favorites. Not always critically acclaimed, but movies/tv shows I can watch over and over and I actually get cravings for. These are the pieces of film that I feel have really contributed to my life and are the basis of my addiction.
Sometimes I get stuck in the three
stars*** and I wonder if I should split them up. Some three stars***
I don't want to see again and some I do.
- So I'm thinking of using a zero star { } to indicate the worst film pieces that I couldn't even finish.
- Then, one star* would be for the pieces that I was able to finish, but I just don't like.
- Two stars** can be pieces that I was able to finish, I thought were okay, but not something I want to watch again.
- Three stars*** are good and I wouldn't mind watching again.
- Four **** and Five stars***** are the same as above.
That works for now!
I am going to have to make a list like this describing my ratings system (0-10) so people know the difference between something like an 8, 9, or 10. Or the dreaded 0!
