A few things going on today. First, I added a plugin to WP that allows me to rate films. Review Haiku are nice, but they mainly sum up the film, rather than saying if a film is good or bad. Using the plugin, I can give the films a score, which I’m basing off the ratings I gave them at Netflix. Netflix ratings run like this:
- 5 stars – I loved this film!
- 4 stars – I really liked this film.
- 3 stars – I liked this film.
- 2 stars – I didn’t like this film.
- 1 star – I hated this film!
I don’t think Netflix allows zero stars, because their system will just look at it as being unscored.
I’ve got all the Review Haiku in a text file for easy reference (for myself), but the file only had the name of the film and the accompanying haiku. After adding the plugin, I went back to my Netflix rental history and grabbed the ratings I gave each film to put into the file. As it turns out, I missed a few haiku. There are three films I saw, but didn’t write haiku for. I’ll have to work them in at some point.
Also, I got linked to by The Film Cynics for the Review Haiku. Nice to know they’re appreciated :-)
