Second hand reporting of second hand reporting? What a great way to appreciate the arts for yourself. Alternatively, if all you want is a few choice lines for that next dinner party, dive in. posted by holgate at 1:13 PM on May 3, 2001
This was done first (and better, IMO) by Rotten Tomatoes. While they only do movie reviews over there, I think their rating system is more realistic, simply assessing a reviewer's take as either good or bad. I don't understand how Metacritic can assign varying degrees of good or bad simply through their reading of what a critic says. posted by zempf at 1:18 PM on May 3, 2001
Has Matt seen this? It's a pity colour schemes can't be copywrited . . . posted by feelinglistless at 2:20 PM on May 3, 2001
Color schemes too? White,blue,yellow is easy on the eyes. I wish more sites followed that rule. There is a big difference between what 123cheaphosting did and using the the same colors. posted by john at 2:32 PM on May 3, 2001

Exactly! No one who enjoys MeFi would appreciate a website that amalgamates a cross-section of the informed and entertaining views of others! posted by geronimo_rex at 3:22 PM on May 3, 2001

Not to mention the grid that Entertainment Weekly has used for at least ten years. posted by dhartung at 6:11 PM on May 3, 2001
um I liked Driven, it had an awful story, but some really good racing scenes, esp. the race from the driver's viewpoint. Any movie with so many F1 references can't be that bad :) posted by riffola at 9:20 PM on May 3, 2001
