I am mad at Yahoo
Monday, September 26, 2005

I had been giving my rating of a lot of movies at the Yahoo movie site, and then last night they inform me that they do NOT recommend that I see 'Serenity' because based on my previous reviews I won't enjoy it!!!! WTF?!?!
Luckily they had a space for feedback or I might have burst a blood vessel; I informed them that there was something seriously wrong with their site if they couldn't tell from my previous ratings that I love sci-fi and I particularly LOVE great writing. I went on to tell them that I had already seen an advanced showing of 'Serenity', I already knew I loved it, I already knew I would see it many more times, and I was infuriated that they would recommend to anyone that they not go see this great film!

grrr argh.

People who do not like a particular genre often conclude that a bad review is about the genre and not about the quality of the movie. An awful lot of scifi movies are really bad. The Original Star Wars and Blade Runner quality movies are few and far between.

I've rated 319 movies, and altho I rated the Star Wars prequels (1-3) low, I gave top ratings to the original Star Wars...and varying ratings to the misc Star Trek movies...and a midling rating to I, Robot....
but they shouldn't just be going by genre, they need to know that some people rate according to writing, and not genre.

How many movies have you rated? I've done like 212 ratings and its usually accurate, but I've seen some errors once or twice.

If people don't rate many scifi movies then the computer thinks they don't like it. Problem is, i've introduced a lot of people to teh show, and several hate sci fi movies. But... they love the show.

Hopefully people will make a judgement call based on turnout. I really belive this movie is going to surprise a lot of people.
