The New System

So, let's be frank! Letter grades are nice, but so cliche, wouldn't you say? They've served me well for a good while now, but, the time as come to retire them. So, without further ado, I present to you the new rating system for DC. Taking a cue from Fletch over at Blog Cabins, there are five ratings that a film can earn.

1.
The best of what's around! This is a movie that you should actively seek out. See it, and you will be as happy as JGL is in this photo!

2.
Not a masterpiece, but still worth your time. A perfectly fine and satisfactory movie. It's like Rob's and Laura's relationship, peppered with problems, but they still love it!

3.
A resounding eh. It might still be enjoyable, but the cracks in the seams are clearly visible. It's a movie that you might enjoy whilst in it, but you'll forget it pretty quickly.

4.
Here's where things start to get ugly. While not completely terrible, it is most definitely not worth spending money on. Sonny has a fierce temper, but he chooses his targets well.

5.
An absolute contemptible piece of work. Avoid it like it's the Rage Virus, lest you become like these fine gents here! Think of your well being, damn it!

Make sense? Good. Hope you all approve of the change. See you next time.

  1. Not a bad idea at all. I'll stick with my stars, but I quite like the categories and the neat lil' icons that go with.

    Now, let's take bets on what the first "rage" movie wil be...

  2. @Hatter: I think the first one to earn the grade of RAGE will wither be Jonah Hex, Eclipse, or The Last Airbender. The first one to get an Ecstacy (I put this one on GHTTG, but that was mostly to see if it looked good) will be Inception. The rest will be nicely filled out as the year progresses.

  3. Money's on Eclipse. I find Jonah Hex hard to hate due to the presence of Michael Fassbender, and I have nothing but nostalgia for The last Airbender.

  4. I dig 'em, and appreciate the nod. Great idea tying them to specific emotions - sure to get your point across. The only one I don't quite get is the image that goes along with Indifference. Mickey might've appeared indifferent at times, but we know better.

    Also, I think the images might need to be a bit bigger in the sidebar...
