Ryan Sean Adams

look, it's 90 minutes of my life, maybe two hours of my life.

I don't want to waste my time on anything that's like 50% and under.

And I look at the metrics like with clear eyes, okay?

It's not just the critic metric.

It's also, you know, there's the user rating and audience rating and I'll cross-reference with IMDB.

So it's, you know, a bit more pure.

But I'm just like not going to waste my time on a low-ranked movie, right?

My wife is like, this kills it.

This kills the movie watching experience.

What you should be doing, Ryan, is you should watch movies that you like and you should form your own opinions and you shouldn't go into it with some preconceived notion of how good the movie actually is.

Help settle this argument and talk about ranking and scoring systems that I'm seeing.

I think what you're saying here is the metric itself is like boiling all of the variants out of the signal here.

And it's kind of flattening things and it's one dimensionalizing things.

And you're probably going to say that same argument applies to my Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB rankings.

So I don't get any of the high variance type movies.

I just get kind of the low variance, popular, mediocre, but popular things.

Yeah.

Okay, I just want to add one thing.

Then isn't that just a problem with the metric itself?

We could devise better metrics.
