All I'm saying is that the five star scale isn't used for movies, it's used for cars, hotels, restaurants. You ever heard of a five star hotel? Or a five star restaurant?

That's all kids. There's your movie lesson of the day.

wtf are you going on about. as long as the rater says x out of 4 or y out of 5 the reader on a Skins site gets the idea. I understood what the other posters were saying who the heck cares if US standard is out of 4 or 5.

Lol I gotta agree with you. I think the 5 star system is the most widely used but its not a standard system. People use whatever system they want.

All I'm saying is movies are four stars and other things are five stars. Just letting posters know that they're misusing the star rating system. I prefer the 10 point imdb scale or the four star scale. Five star scale I use for restaurants and hotels like every other normal person does.



On a side note I saw the watch. Not as awful as I thought. Got a couple of laughs. I'd give it 2 stars out of 4. Or a 5 out of 10. Or 3.14 (pi) out of 5 on your misused five star scale
