Seriously. We want to this to be the best and most fun
movie site on the web so this is the place to tell us
what you'd like us to add or change. We really want to
hear from you!
Keep in mind though that we are a small team, and we're doing our best to gather everyone's ideas. If you feel like we're not getting back to you, please contact brad or julia directly.
Oh and one other suggestion about adding movie requests. I know it's way too late to do this for all movies but you could start giving people credit for suggesting a movie to be added. Even if it didn't show up on the movie page, it could be under their profile, even if it's just the number of movies suggested or something.
And one more suggestion. I don't mean to be hogging all the forum space here, honest. :D I find it hard to keep up with all the new features. This forum is a good idea for that but you might also consider doing an e-mail newsletter from time to time with Flixster news in it and other information. That is all for now. I swear. :D
Yes, I would like to request/demand the addition of a movie title - 'Red Riding Hood' (2003, dir. Giacomo Cimini). Its an Italian movie but it was in English.
Why do I want this. Because this is the absolute WORST MOVIE EVER (no exaggeration). Hundreds of people share this view.
So you guys have got to get this title on this website so once and for all all arguments regarding the worst movie ever made come spiralling to an end on this title.
(seriously, I could go on and on about the complete stupidness in this film)
You guys should give it a watch. No one should be denied this mind numbin experience.
after u write a comment and u save it.. i try 2 go back an change something wrong i wrote and click save... but it dosent do nothing
and after i rate it... i try 2 go back 2 write a comment and it also dosent save it
whats wrong?!?!?!
2) This is the more important one. I think that we should be able to view all the reviews on a movie, and not just the latest 20. If this can't be done then I think only the ratings that contain comments should be there (because I don't know about anyone else, but just a rating out of 5 stars isn't good enough, I want to know why people liked the movie or didn't like it. I think that would be more helpful for someone who is trying to decide to see the movie or not, or just wanting to hear peoples opinions in general)
question to anyone, is there a code or somthing i that i can use to use a picture straight from the net or does it have to be from the hard drive, cause the place where i use the net is at work and they might frown on that a little if they find out....who am i kidding, they'll friggin fire me. (thats a bad thing)
Munchkindoggy, when you say use, do you mean use as your pic for your profile, or use on the forums?
For your profile, just put the pic on your hard drive temporarily, add it to your profile then delete it. The pic should be uploaded to the flixster server so you won't need it on your hard drive anymore.
Anyway, one minor thing to demand about the forums, could the how-long-ago-someone-has-posted text be made to not use plurals on 1? I keep seeing "1 days ago" or "1 minutes ago"...
Thanks for the continued great feedback! we want and plan to do so many of these things. Just to address a few:
*DVDs I own - you can now make a list of these on your profile. Does that work?
*people rating b4 the film comes out - yeah, drives me nuts too. hard to really stop it because release dates are different in different places, so all we could do is slow it down a little. I think what we really need is just a better way to filter to the ratings from people more like you...
*latest forum topics - Yes! And better pagination too. Pain in the ass right now, huh?
*Missing movies - if you do a search and can't find something, there is a link at the bottom where you can email us. Hannah goes through all those emails and adds everything that seems like a real movie and that she can find good info about. That's the best way to get a movie added.
* uploaded sound clips & pictures & maybe videos - yes, still working on it. More people interested in it?
I have a lot of world cinema, so being able to add a film you can't find seems a good idea to me. Maybe a moderator could confirm its ok first to stop duplicates and stupid stuff being posted.
Also a proper 'MY DVDS' list would be great, much like the favourite movies box. You guys are awesome, I love your work so far keep it up, I'm telling my mates about this. Thanks.
Pagination, definately
And Id like to mirror Jono's suggestion, if we could somehow access people's comments for movies thatd be great. Its good to know that 1000 raters rated one movie a 3 and a half stars out of five, but it doesnt tell you anything about the movie, especially when movies that havent even come out yet have what 200 ratings already ;)
Yeah, now we can make "DVD's I own" lists, but the only thing I'm thinking there is they might get rather large and hard to manage. This would almost certainly be the case with a "Want to own on DVD" list.
It would suffice for now, and I love the whole drag drop idea. I understand that the custom lists tool is in the beginning stages and I expect many tweaks and improvements will be made as people start using it.
Just from reading above, please don't make the profiles 'customizable' like myspace. This is primarily a movie site, and I don't want to have pointless stuff loading up wasting my time when I'm looking for info. Please keep it fresh!
What about like Bebo, where you can just have a simple customisation like the title bars are a different colour, but on here there are movie themes, like romance, thriller, comedy. Nothing too big, no adding pictures for backgrounds or anything, just something simple, but so you can still make it more personalised.
