So I decided to proceed with my fake review website, I need some help with a rating system... - ceregon Mar 27, 15:23 13

    - I like this idea. -- nm - pmb Mar 27, 16:23
    - I'm leaning in this direction. Probably with a numeric 1-10 scale of _____ depending on the movie. -- nm - ceregon Mar 27, 16:08
    - End Game could be 10 figure snap memes, new Hellboy could be 10 Ron Pearlman's, Pet Semetary 10 Grumpy cats -- nm - Beaker Mar 27, 15:38
