sitenoise at the movies

 I am no longer updating information on this site because Google has discontinued ftp publishing.

You've visited sitenoise at the movies and you want more.

The comments about films I post on that site are, for the most part, five hundred words in length and generally positive. Most of the negative comments posted there, regarding films rated 1 or 2 stars (on a scale of 1 to 5), are the result of trampled expectations or dashed hopes. They are about films I suspected would be a positive experience based on a number of different inputs, but disappointed. I watch a lot of bad films that I have low or no expectations for and, consequently, if they turn out to be bad film experiences, have no desire to write five hundred words describing them. Most of the comments on sitenoise at the movies are about films from this century. Exceptions do exist, but for the most part if you want to know what I think of an older film you'll have to look elsewhere.

So, with only a little further ado, wherein I provide this link to a brief description of my methods, biases, and ratings philosophy, here is elsewhere:

I'm a very embarrassed by and for this social movie site but I've met some great people there and it has proven to be good for making and sharing lists. It lags behind Facebook as a shining example of big and dumb beyond belief when it comes to user interface.
