NJ's Own NG replied to jcranma's discussion 'Reviewer Rank algorithm change?' in the group Keeping Up With the Top Reviewers Ranking
I was 236 and then 563 or something. I would love to understand this. Of course, before I joined this community, I didn't even know there were rankings.

NJ's Own NG replied to jcranma's discussion 'Are your reviews getting thrashed?' in the group Keeping Up With the Top Reviewers Ranking
This is depressing. My reviews are getting trashed, too. I write them for me anyway, really. But it's a shame.

"You're a real character!"
Movie characters....so real that they take on a reality for you and me! Rainman; Bonnie and Clyde; Ethan Edwards; Lars and Bianca (in her uncredited/Oscar worthy performance); you get the idea....discuss!

About Me:
I love movies. Can't get to the theater at least 3 times a week anymore -- parenthood and employment tend to do that to a guy -- but Netflix has made being a grownup much more bearable. I love all kinds of movies. Scare me, make me laugh, make me cry.

New to this Netflix community but have been writing reviews for years -- does anyone read them?

I'd love to make some friends and talk movies. No formal education in cinema at all, but I've seen a zillion.

Hadn't looked at this thing in a while. Saw New York, I Love You at the theater this weekend.

Why I'm Here

I had a blog a few years ago, and it became pretty popular. It's gone now. It was a huge time suck, and I couldn't justify to myself or my family why so much time had to be spent feeding it. I guess if I'd been paid to write one, it might have been a different story.

In its place I began to write Netflix reviews. I've really enjoyed putting my thoughts down in blurb form. Condensed. Pithy (I hope). I write them primarily because it gives me pleasure. I enjoyed reading reviews by others and, if… Continue

Woody and Women

Just posted a discussion in my new Woody Allen group about Woody and women. Hoping that will get some discussion started, and maybe help me meet some of the cineastes out there. ;)

Still No Idea

Joined a few groups today. There's no group devoted to Woody Allen. Should I start one? Would anyone come to that party?

Movies I Saw this Week

Theater:

Doubt- Sister Aloysius takes no prisoners. I'm with her.

Slumdog Millionaire - loved the "Dickens" out of it

DVD:

Carrie - Introducing the kids to something scary - final scene really is a chiller

Savage Grace - What was JM thinking! Pointless -- rich and crazy is no more interesting than middle class and crazy - gets a big, big razz

Sangre De Mi Sangre - I'm not with the crowd on this one - I found it implausible and dull

The Man Who Came to… Continue

NG, don't let those who trash your reviews stop you from writing them.

Netflix designed ranking into the system about 1.5 years ago. I write for the fun of it and so does almost everyone else I think. I wouldn't infer people are into ranking just because it exists.

Welcome to the Community! Reviewer rank is a Netflix algorithm for quantifying how "influential" your reviews and lists are (by others' helpful clicks and movie queues).
