the algorithm for (non-)pretentiousness rating is roughly “[50*sqrt(ratingsdiff/4)]%” where ratingsdiff is the absolute value of (criticscore-viewerscore). if it’s over 100%, it gets clipped to 100%. iow, it’s dumb bullshit and awful js code which i give a score of “98% non-pretentious! post to github immediately and bask in your 1.5 minutes of fame!”
the second part which says “people liked it” or “people didn’t like it” is instead based on the average of the two scores.
i say roughly because it’s /3 for pretentious movies and /5 for antipretentious. also instead of sqrt(x) he uses x^0.45 for some unfathomable reason. but whatever.
Solitaire? What? No I’m just pointing out that you’re the one who instigates all the games here. Or at least most of them. Like how a Labrador makes everything into a game…
I’ve never had much success teaching a dog card games though. It’s hard to keep their attention while simultaneously explaining arithmetic.
I wonder if the age of a film has anything to do with its perceived pretentiousness? Like, the further its out of date, the less well it’s received by the public?
