Re: A Better Way to Rate Films - Bad films are bad

Glen, I'm not convinced of your assertion that rewatchability really is the better factor of recommendation. Would you actually recommend someone watch Transformers 2 over Black Swan?

I also think that the way that Goodfilms doesn't let you add a film to your queue that you've already seen, nor rate a movie multiple times is contrary to the rewatchability score. Surely, the fact that I HAVE watched a movie many times (Fight Club) is a far stronger signal than that I've said I would watch it again.

FCUK has absolutely horrible sizes, they are seemingly random. Sometimes too big, sometimes too small and always terribly cut.

Pretty much every beach (and there is heaps of them) in Abel Tasman National Park is amazing. That and there is enough so you can often get a beach to yourself.

Robert, if you aren't a twitter addict you can pretty much skip any of you posts these days.

There has been a lot of discussion about this same thing in the tech blogosphere. Many people think that some amount of disclosure (on a per post basis) is necessary or desirable. Just so that a random googler that stumbles on your post can see that you do accept free wine. Wether this particular bottle was free is possibly another matter.

Hi Russell,

I've been playing with a jabber bot which just monitors status updates from peoples and posts it to a webpage since you posted this and it's finally to a stage where I'm willing to show it to people. It doesn't on post to Twitter, but it feels pretty natural working with it.

It's at http://wakeless.net/archive... it uses xmpppy and I've GPLed it.

It's great to read this, I've started a new blog (not my personal blog that I just ramble on about anything) with the purpose of helping me write a cook book. That is probably a long way away but it really helps my writing and will definitely give me some content when and if.

I've written a follow-up to your post about some ideas it kicked off for me. I'm not sure if the Trackback went through. http://wakeless.net/archive...
