9 out of 10

We’re sitting here trying to work out what to watch at the cinema. On one tab of firefox various listings from nearby cinemas, on another tab IMDB as we try and work out whether films are any good.

Makes you wonder how people used to survive when they had no real idea whether a film was going to be any good or not before they saw it. No mark out of 10, just a word of mouth recommendation if you were lucky.

Reducing experiences to a number out of ten has always been fraught with danger. But hell, we do it so much why stop now. It’s not a great system, but it works a lot of the time. I’d give the ‘out of 10’ system, a 9.
