Movies

So, I imported my IMDb watchlist and rated movies into Letterboxd. In theory, this seems like a good idea, but all the TV shows included were reconciled with movies with slightly similar names. So now I've gotta sort through that mess.

2. I've noticed that the IMDd and Letterboxd scoring systems do not translate particularly well. For example, I give a lot of movies 8/10, which signifies I liked it but I doubt I'd revisit anytime soon. An 8/10 on IMDb might be more like a 3/5 on Letterboxd, yet it sits at 4/5. I dunno, just some initial observations as I feel those on Letterboxd grade much more difficult than on IMDb.

This is all arbitrary of course, but interesting that an 8/10 is just something you liked. For me, an 8/10 is something great. I do grade differently for 5 and 10 scale though. Personally a 5/5 can be anything from 9-10/10. And a 4.5/5 and be like 8.5-9/10, etc. I don't give out 10s hardly ever, but I'll do 5/5s with some regularity.

For me, usually, it's:

5/5 - Masterpiece
4.5/5 - Excellent
4/5 - Great
3.5/5 - good
3/5 - okay
2.5/5 - mediocre/forgettable
2/5 - bad
1.5 - horrible
1 - abysmal
.5 - unwatchable
