(I'm hoping we can all agree that Mission Impossible II was ridiculous, with all those doves and pulling off of masks.) But it would more appropriately be in the top 1000 than the top 100 for me. I guess it also depends on how many movies you've seen.<br /><br />Glad you liked Story of Us. I don't know why it was deemed so sub-par.Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-25201705113227520312010-08-17T21:26:17.718+10:002010-08-17T21:26:17.718+10:00Been there, done that.

As far as rom-coms go (not my favorite genre), it's not too bad. Even re-watched it with my wife a couple weeks ago.<br /><br />What's really funny to me about this post is that I very comfortably have Mission: Impossible III in my Top 100. :)johnmasonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-83502836167170449082010-08-16T02:37:50.491+10:002010-08-16T02:37:50.491+10:00Thanks Vance, I approved your friend request.

If I unknowingly checked "Haven't Seen It" for a movie I'd seen, fortunately, I would eventually notice it, since I keep a list of all the movies I've ever seen in an Excel spreadsheet -- it's as close to complete as such a thing could ever be, and I cross-reference it with FC in terms of seeing which films I still need to add to the FC database. I'd suggest that others try to keep such a list, except that I've been doing it for 20 years, so I don't know how I'd tell you to start.<br /><br />As for the plug-in, that looks great. I will definitely install it. <br /><br />I have not publicly posted my Flickchart profile on my blog (just included my top 20 in list form) because I have decided not to use my real name on the blog. Anyone who has linked to this piece through Facebook knows my real name, so it's a silly exercise to remain anonymous at this point -- I may drop the anonymity at some point in the future, but haven't gotten there yet. Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />Theis -- Thanks for going back and reading all the old stuff! I really appreciate the time and effort. <br /><br />Unfortunately, I must say that I have not actually done the test I vowed to do -- to determine if the total difference is dropping. All it would take would be to add up some numbers in a column in an Excel spreadsheet, but I've never done it. I think part of the reason is that there will never be a time that the list is really perfect, quite simply because we're all still seeing movies and adding as many as 20-30 new titles a month. With that kind of variability, it keeps the Flickchart process ongoing and forever interesting. Purely as an academic exercise, it would be interesting to stop watching movies just so you could get your list absolutely perfect -- but the sacrifices that would entail to the pastime we all love would of course be impossible.Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-70630831051674460722010-08-16T00:37:23.559+10:002010-08-16T00:37:23.559+10:00I found your blog today and as an avid flickcharte...I found your blog today and as an avid flickcharter myself, read all your entries on Flickchart.<br /><br />Just out of curiosity, in your October 19, 2009 blog post, you talk about your theory that total position changes from 10.000 rankings should be dropping as you rank more movies. <br /><br />Is the number dropping?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01249489851664731029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-3034981147587051992010-08-15T23:04:30.305+10:002010-08-15T23:04:30.305+10:00In the early days of the site, I don't remembe...In the early days of the site, I don't remember there <i>being</i> an "Undo" button. I may be wrong, or either I just didn't notice it sitting there, but there were definitely a few times when I double/triple clicked "Haven't Seen It", and then wondered what crimes I'd just committed.<br /><br />I may never know what I unknowingly ranked, because it would require me to go through my entire Netflix history, page by page.<br /><br />I like your story there... I also feel like I rank movies just for my own satisfaction (Here's <a href="http://www.flickchart.com/MCWHAMMER" rel="nofollow">my Flickchart</a> profile. I'm going to look through your posts here to see if you linked yours somewhere.) - and when I click something wrong, I do panic!<br /><br />On a different note, a while back I made a search plug-in for Flickchart, so that you can search for any movie that randomly pops into your mind to rank, without having to go to Flickchart.com first. It works great, and I haven't mentioned it on Flickchart in a while, so you may not be aware of it. <br /><br /><a href="http://uncoveredfilms.blogspot.com/2009/09/install-flickchartcom-quick-search-box.html" rel="nofollow"><b>Firefox/Chrome/IE Browser Quick Search Box</b></a>MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911334330013202975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-81683343032346374732010-08-15T15:11:25.011+10:002010-08-15T15:11:25.011+10:00Arrows!

And it saves me from having to move the cursor off the choices between each click, in order to prevent a random click resulting in an errant duel decision.

My finger went down hard of the right arrow and that was that. I too was faced with the terrible notion of removing and adding again, but when movies from the very bottom of your list move into your top 50, you just have to.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776052395253162621noreply@blogger.com
