I like it, generally speaking. I played around with it a bit, and here are my thoughts: - The site needs some character. The logo has some, but isn't enough; It's REALLY neutral to me, and I'm a pretty big fan of minimalism. - There's no "I haven't seen it" option, or "Let me rate this later". Which means that when I got to the end of the list of things I could rate, I was at a loss as to what to do next. Also, it bugged me that I couldn't make 'Cloverfield' go away, even though I've never seen it. - What do I get out of it as I rate them? I certainly don't mind rating these things to help evaluate, but ... is there ANY reason I might come back and do this again later? - The lack of registration option is a little confusing. I hit the home page, rated a few things, I see a log OUT option at the top, which is a little quirky, and I see a log IN -- oh, never mind, it was in the middle. If that's the call to action, it should be more pronounced, I feel like.

First of all thanks for checking it out. > The site needs some character. The logo has some, but isn't enough; It's REALLY neutral to me, and I'm a pretty big fan of minimalism. I have a finch-like character (it's a kind of bird) in mind that I plan to put in a few places to add some character, but I wanted to get the site out first before that. > There's no "I haven't seen it" option, or "Let me rate this later". Which means that when I got to the end of the list of things I could rate, I was at a loss as to what to do next. Also, it bugged me that I couldn't make 'Cloverfield' go away, even though I've never seen it. There's a lists feature that lets you add to 'ignored', but perhaps it should be more pronounced than that. > What do I get out of it as I rate them? I certainly don't mind rating these things to help evaluate, but ... is there ANY reason I might come back and do this again later? Ah right, there used to be a landing page with an explanation ("the more you rate, the better the recommendations") but I lazyfied the signup process so I forgot to stress that. Noted, thanks. > The lack of registration option is a little confusing.

If that's the call to action, it should be more pronounced, I feel like. I'll figure something out regarding that. Once again thanks for the feedback.
