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."

"This is depressing. My reviews are getting trashed, too. I write them for me anyway, really. But it's a shame."

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!See More

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.

Holy Crap

Well I'd written well over 400 netflix reviews and they are all gone. What happened? Has my account been hacked?

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… 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?

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).

"If you think about it, all action stars probably share the one expression, passing it between themselves as needed.  Except when Kristen Stuart needs to have the original back."
