    Sorry folks. Or data provider guidebox shut down their service. I'm looking for alternatives, but there are not any good ones.

    If you rate 15 movies, you'll get switched to a personalized recommender, and this won't be an issue. This only affects "the bard". You can select a recommender by clicking the star icon in the top right.

    Thanks for the bug report, and sorry for your troubles! There is a historical context here that manifests itself in the new site as a bug. The movie is in the system (added in april 2005) but never got promoted to “live” during the era of our “resident movie guru”, so it’s effectively hidden. That is easily fixed for this movie (done).

    We’ll prioritize building better tools for helping the community address these issues without turning to our support forum.

    Anabaena - thanks for adding movies! We need to build the interface for re-introducing movies that were previously rejected from the system (years ago, we had a more US-centric approach to managing the movie database). That update is coming, sorry for the delay and the troubles!

    We will likely add something like this. There's some clamoring in other threads for more powerful search features, and "boolean filters" are a pretty clear improvement over the current interface, assuming they are pretty easy to use.

    We have not implemented this feature in the new site. If we hear from others that this is important, we'll put it on the list.

    Cool to know that you're using movielens on an HTPC. We hadn't considered a dark color theme before.

    We have started building this feature. We hope that it will be available by Spring.

    classic.movielens.org is still there for you. Constructive thoughts are welcome.

    Thanks for the suggestions - we're going to discuss the buddies feature as soon as we roll out the next release. At that time we'll make sure to incorporate these ideas into our design discussions.

    Thanks for the additional feedback. Yes, the current feature is too confusing and not especially interesting. There is a ton of potential for "social recommendations" and "group recommendations" that we have not yet realized (but would like to).

    An error occurred while saving the comment
    Max Harper commented  · 

    Thanks Luke. We also think there's a lot of potential there. Social media is a way to make it easier to find buddies to connect with, and we are likely going to explore more ways of helping users share movie opinions/actions with other users.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I have had similar ideas in the past; thinking about how interfaces like these might lead to the best historical representation of my ratings is interesting. I like the drag and drop idea.

    Cool ideas!

    Our tagging system is currently designed such that all tags are public, we might have to reimagine that decision if we were to overload tagging with ideas such as private-lists and recommendations. It would be nice to consolidate the lists ideas with the current tag features, though. We'll keep thinking about this going forward.

    Thanks for the feedback! A few notes:

    * yes, we'll add in the "next" button at the bottom.
    * we are considering adding "infinite scroll" (as long as the back button works right) which would be an alternative to the pager

    That is too bad!

    To clarify, are you seeing poor results on both the current site, and the beta site? Or does one seem to perform better than the other?

    Thanks for the suggestion. Tmdb has this information, so it would be pretty easy to add this feature.
