the 'point' system is only useful for a 5 star system. once you get into 10 point rating systems, the 'point' becomes useless.

I support Jeritron and his use of the decimal system.

Anal Angels 23: 2 dicks up

I could use a letter grade system too if the decimals are too complex

I tend to do a scatter plot measuring scene by scene rating. For example, I found scene 4 of _____ to be a 6.73, while scene 5 rebounded with a solid 8.37

I round using significant figures, and scientific notation if neccessary

To eliminate any confusion or allegations of pretension, I propose a pass/fail system.

The scale is as follows:

FAIL FAIL
FAIL
FAIL.PASS
PASS
PASS PASS

what about PASS.FAIL?

Yes. PASS.FAIL goes in between FAIL.PASS and regular PASS.

I give it a FAIL.PASS bordering on FAIL. Certain elements receive a PASS, but ultimately it comes out as a FAIL.FAIL. You can feel free to round that FAIL.PASS up to a PASS.FAIL if you don't like that the FAIL has been labeled a FAIL.FAIL, when it may really be a PASS.PASS

Perhaps this movie would be better during a PUFF PUFF PASS

I'm gonna have to go back and redo all my reviews now using the PASS.FAIL system. I encourage all other users to do the same, as all other methods of rating are now pretentious and therefore obsolete.

There's nothing more pretentious than that goddamn half a star. I apologize to all of the movies I didn't round up with.
I also would like all of the movies I gave an extra .5 to apologize to me, for tricking me into thinking they were better than they actually were

Terminator: Salvation 6/10.

Not the best in the series, but still was very good.

Uh....Pass.Fail?

The system works!

Your damndest right it does.

Aright so there are like 2 pages of discussion about the grading scale so I am just going to say right now that the 5 star scale sucks because you could just easily convert anything in it to the 10 point scale which is more widely understood. Why would you say 3.5/5 when you can just say 7/10, and then you can be like oh that's easy, 70%. If you were going to give a movie a 7.5/10 rating also known as 75% on the 5 star scale, you would say 3.75/5. What the fuck, who is gonna do that. It is just a 75%, or a 75/100 if you want to go one decimal place further.

And a 3.75 would be in the realm of a PASS.FAIL if you want to convert it to the PASS/FAIL system.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop - 8/10

Yeah this has annoyed me too, I just never said anything.

Wolverine: FAIL/PASS.PASS. I went in with fairly low expectations to this movie, and they were met. There were a couple cool action sequences that kept this movie from becoming a FAIL.FAIL, but between all the needless changes in characters, unecessary dialogue and flat out bad action, I couldn't justify letting this into the PASS. Not enough Gambit and no point in putting Scott Summers in there. All the complaints you've heard are warranted.

Guide to the scale:
FAIL.FAIL
FAIL
FAIL.PASS
PASS.FAIL
PASS
PASS.PASS

pineapple express 7/10

The guide to the scale does not guide me to understanding your rating of FAIL/PASS.PASS. I feel like you are giving it a rating of FAIL and also a rating of PASS.PASS. Is this right? That doesn't make sense though because you say the movie does nothing to warrant even a PASS, much less a PASS.PASS.

Oh, FAIL out of PASS.PASS.

Star Trek 8/10 - An enjoyable movie. Didn't really feel very Star Trekky but I have never been a Star Trek fan so I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I would watch this movie again though. :y:

This Pass/Fail system may be confusing.

If I ask you in casual conversation "What do you give Pineapple Express?" and someone says "Pass.Fail,.Pass" its like :eek:call a doctor.

Punisher War Zone: 4/10

lol

Sounds like a FAIL.FAIL/PASS.PASS.

We didn't even watch the last 20 minutes

it was so bad. What was hilarious is the movie seemed like it was over, and it was only 45 minutes in.
From there, things just got worse and worse.

Had to make an executive to decision to stop the movie and hit the store before it closed.

FFS anyone can grade anything however they want ok, stfu and deal with it.

If you see grading something like 3.5/5 pointless, then just apply it to the grading system you mentioned, its not a big deal, just let people grade how they want, this is not your forum.

I've never seen Planet of the Apes, Ghostbusters 2, or Bonnie and Clyde and I rented them today. Am I allowed to watch them?

If it's the Planet of the Apes with Mark Wahlberg, no.

No, its the other one.

I'm going to put it in a DVD player and watch it :naughty:

the original Planet of the Apes is great.

Tell me this...do you know the ending?

Thats the one I'm going to watch

No, but I think I have an idea (highlight) The apes rule the planet?

watch it right now

I just did.

Planet of the Apes (original) 10/10. I realized that I'd give it a 10 not even halfway through.

Oh, and I saw I, Robot yesterday. It sucked.

I would also give the original Planet of the Apes a resounding PASS.PASS. No need to bother with the sequels. Maybe the first sequel, but probably just stay away.

Yea, Planet of the Apes is a great science fiction movie. I sorta envy PorkSoda's ability to go into it not knowing the ending, which is one of the great twist endings of all-time.

It's like a theatrical length, higher budget episode of The Twilight Zone. In fact, Rod Serling wrote the screenplay.
I don't know how much influence he had on the story/ending, but it definitely bears his mark.

I have just done some internet research. Apparently the FAIL.FAIL/PASS.PASS system was invented in 1997 by a 13-year-old Japenese kid named Jiro Katashi. In an effort to not be sued, I will be reverted to the 10 point scale. I know this comes as a tough blow, as many of you came to love the efficiency of the FAIL.FAIL/PASS.PASS system, but internation copyright law prevails.
