You&#39;re still pretty awesome but some things are putting our relationship on shaky ground. </p><p> They give several hours of viewing movies online, even with my little $5 a month account. Great, right? No, you have to have Windows Vista and Internet Explorer to use it. Whopee doo. </p><p> And now I noticed that they are daring to predict what rating I would give a movie. It&#39;s a little funny actually. National Treasure: Customer Average=3.8 Our best guess for Tamara=3.0. In other words, most of our customers liked this crap but we&#39;re guessing you won&#39;t be so big on it. Not so far off but I would rate it a 2. Lost in Translation: Customer Average=3.3 Our best guess for Tamara=3.6. Not like I can even give a portion of a star, even so that movie is definitely a four star. Like you know, Netflix. I wonder what kind of crazy algorithm they use to come up with this stuff? </p><p><br /> <div><br /></div><div><br /></div></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://tamatam.vox.com/library/post/you-dont-know-my-stars.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c2252650f0604a00d09e7dde25be2b?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> ratings movies you don't know me!
