You could take some hints from http://www.7bks.com http://www.7bks.com. Tom's a friendly guy, I'm sure he will give you some tips. You should be jumping on the Twitter #lessambitiousmovies bandwagon. Make a page on your site which lists the best ones. Or let people vote on them or something. Have you seen http://moki.tv http://moki.tv ? Sorry I didn't try the app. The problem with a facebook app is that even to look at it I need to give it access to my intestines. Then if I don't like it, I need to go through a lot of pain to revoke access. I'm not such a big fan of movies or FB apps that I'd do that.

You can goto http://cineight.com http://cineight.com The facebook app is just this site inside an iframe (I was too lazy to implement something specifically for FB. I too am not on it) I will look into the sites you mentioned and try to learn what I can. Thanks.

  Ok, I tried it with my Twitter login. I think it's a good idea. Some quick thoughts: The Compare and Feedback tabs on the left are overlapping the text in the main window. I'd say just get rid of them. For a site like yours I doubt you are going to get much feedback in that way. I'm not sure what compare is for. Don't give me a blank screen when I first login. Show me some films at least. The top ones, the latest ones, anything and ask me to like or dislike them. Read people's Amazon wishlists or purchase history (is that available?) and get all the films they've bought or want. Do the online movie rental sites like lovefilm, netflix have APIs? Connect to them and pull in data. Use markbao's http://threewords.me http://threewords.me to describe movies in three words or something like that. Talk to him for ideas. Pull in youtube clips of the films listed. List movie soundtracks. To get traction early, you might have to pick one aspect and turn it into a sort of game which can spread (like threewords). Favourite scenes? Famous oneliners turned into jokes? You could try a completely different UI, say something like http://thesixtyone.com http://thesixtyone.com. Basically, this is a huge space. Ideas are plenty, just keep churning and you will hit on something. Next time you post on HN, link directly to your site (not an Ask HN post). Oh and this is probably not the best forum to ask for advice regarding this. Find some movie buff forums!
