huh, how do you pull these numbers out from your hat? I've no degree of confidence in you......

a good Mexican one: Y Tu Mama Tambien.....with a casey rating of...8.999999/9.9999999999 ....

and that result looks as if from an ill-programmed software or calculator

....ppfftt...I guess my system of rating is just a lot better than yours...

You still didn't get the principle of my "calculation"? It's soo simple....

@ Casandra : it's easy to come up with score like Hob's . . . when we say 1 to 10. . they amplify it 10 times in their mind and come up with a score and divide it by 10 when typing it. So, whatever you say, he hears it 10times loud and his response is 10 times less than what he is thinking Isn't that simple!

woman in black 9/10
or may be he gets it from imdb.. or rottentomatoes??!!!

nope, PI....dr H is a lot more "complicated" and original so he would definitely invent his own rating system....I'd guess he's doing a conversion of the star rating to the numerical one...hmmm...but those weird decimal numbers are kinda confounding...

...so my other educated guess is that he's not using a five-point star but rather a heptagram.....and the way he'd rate (esp while hammered ) is by number of stars (X2) the maximum, of course, is the usual 5 plus a fraction of the heptagram converted into decimals and then tweak them a bit (esp the hundredth number) just to confuse us more...really so sneaky of him... so what do you think? It makes a lot of sense eh? I'm really good ......


to go back on track:

Denys Arcand's Les Invasions Barbares I'd give this a 4 stars and 3/4 of a heptagram rating.....

Malayalam film Kadha Parayumbol (starring Sreenivasan and Mammootty) my rating 8/10 (on simple rating scale )
original of billu barber in hindi... superhit... worth a watch even if its with subtitles!!!

Also a tamil movie 7G Rainbow colony - story of a road side romeo transforming into a career oriented person losing his love gettin blamed for it etc etc... twists and turns.. good humour too!!! again with subtitles
my rating 8.5/10
