Re: Spout Feature Feedback: MovieMind

The bug that Risselada mentioned is the single biggest thing that prevents me from finding MovieMind useful. So many of the recommendations are movies that I have already seen. And unchecking that box doesn't make them disappear from the list. Sadly, I don't have the patience to go through multiple page loads to find a handful of films that are new to me.

I'm looking forward to trying MovieMind again when this bug is fixed.

Ok y'all. The bug is fixed and MovieMind now works as designed. Just in time too. We were written up in TechCrunch yesterday and they gave a positive review to this tool.

Let me know if this makes the experience better for you.

Cheers!

Thanks Bill, that bug is definitely fixed for me.

The kinds of recommendations still seem to be pretty much just popular mainstream movies and extremely popular older movies that I happen to have never seen. It doesn't seem too tailored personally to me. I know that it will probaby get more accurate as more people rate movies though.

May I inquire what kind of algorithms you use in the MovieMind to make suggestions?

Re: Spout Feature Feedback: MovieMind

I think its a really good feature, I have already made a great list of films that I want to see and now I can track them as I want to. Keep it, it can only get better right ?

Add a button that will delete movies from the list. I will never see silence of the lambs, I don't want it to ask me everytime I get on the site if I want to see it.

Look at place where you can rate the movie, with the five stars. To the left of the five stars is an icon with a circle and a slash through it. If you click on it, it will change the status of the movie to "I'm not interested." I'm assuming it won't show up anymore after that.

BTW, why don't you want to see Silence of the Lambs? Just sounds too disturbing to you?

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Re: Spout Feature Feedback: MovieMind

I'd like to have the option to see more than 4 or 5 recommendations at a time, maybe the option to display, say, 20 titles per page.. Also, in addition to being able to rate the movie or click "I want to see it", I'd like to be able to add it to my lists from this page.

Re: Spout Feature Feedback: MovieMind

I like this except...

I've rated all of these movies before, on Netflix. Is there a way for you to access my Netflix ratings and apply them here? I've rated over 1,000 movies there and only about 200 here.

The 4 movies at a time takes too long. I need a larger list.

Why does the page have to update everytime I select a star rating for 1 movie, that is uber-frustrating.

I've been a member of spout for a while now and I've not been able to rate movies as fast as I have on Netflix.

Do you see MovieMind primarily as a way to rate movies , rather than to get recommendations? Have you tried rating movies from list views? Is that any better? I'd love us to deliver on the expectations you hav from Netflix, so your feedback is really important.

As for importing your ratings from Netflix, they actually limit what we are able to pull in from their site. Unless there is a Netflix employee out there that is willing to give us a hand with this...Michael, you out there?
