It could look at very different movies to calculate each of our numbers. All the movies I marked 'not interested' were in 1 category (not sure, but think it was Sports & Fitness). Whichever category, it wasn't one of my favorites.<BR/><BR/>Another possibility is that they calculate the Sim% I see for you just looking at the movies you gave 4 & 5 stars, and vis versa.<BR/><BR/>I'm doing an experiment. I rated 5 of your favorite movies as 'not interested', all movies I hadn't seen or rated We'll see what that does to our numbers tomorrow.Baffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09701004182027903537noreply@blogger.com
