Movie Ratings

Saturday, November 20, 2004 | 19:01

I have added a page containing my movie ratings. This page has been in the works for about two weeks: I got the idea when I saw Alien Vs. Predator on November 7. The page has also served a second purpose: it is based on ASP, which means that I have gained more experience in that area while working on the page. I have tested the page fairly extensively, but I might nevertheless have to tweak it a little to fix issues that my testing might have missed.

When I have seen a movie it will be added to the list, regardless of whether or not I write a review (journal entry) of it. This allows me to keep track of all movies I see, not just the ones I write reviews of in my journal. Visitors can quickly see what I thought about a certain movie by looking at its rating, and if they are interested and a review is available, they can read my comments on the movie.

I have added a number of movies that I want to include in the list even though I cannot remember when I saw them, which explains the movies with view date 0000-00-00. This also explains why there is currently only one movie with a rating lower than 3: I have only included movies that are good or above. The situation is likely to change in the future as I will include all movies I see from now on (one thing to keep in mind here is that I seldom watch a movie unless I expect it to be good).

On a completely unrelated note, on November 17 it snowed in Lidköping for the first time this year, and the past few days have been quite cold (lowest temperature has been around -10° C).
