      Never ever checking rotten tomatoes or yelp is the sensible default.

      I don't get this, can you expand? Is the sensible default checking other review sites or not using online reviews are all?

      I think the idea of wanting an objective way of ranking subjective tastes means you select for the wrong thing.

      Interesting -- do you think review scores give zero information? With all their drawbacks, that doesn't seem to be the case (to me).

      A 13% is probably terrible. A 100% is probably worth watching. But like even a 60% isn’t useful. If I think the premise is cool it’s worth a watch. And for food there are such strong path dependencies I think

          Broadly agree, although you can occasionally develop heuristics relating to your own tastes. Horror movie panned by audiences + praised by critics = my new favorite movie

          It would be cool if we could publish recipes like these in some platform :) Perhaps Twitter is the best we've got. Going back to cohorts, 'as rated by my Twitter contacts or as predicted by a model trained on their preferences' seems like a great feature.

          Granted, I apply corrections to the score too. I just start with the score :) If a movie sounds interesting but it's got a low score, I look for reasons that the "average" audience could like it less than I could. Movies by or about women tend to be under-rated, for example.

          Chinese or Indian restaurants tend to be under-rated in many western countries, even though they're often some of the best around (and in many places, great value). People on average are racist/biased against Asian culture. I usually do something like +0.3 to Google Maps reviews.

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
