You either die a hero slowly becomes a villain

Anyone know of any good - maybe open source/federated - alternatives?

[-] swan_pr@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I use https://www.themoviedb.org/ quite often, it's pretty good.

For anyone that might care, I found this pretty neat IMDB front-end: https://libremdb.iket.me

Oh, people still pay attention to review scores? 🤣

[-] fing3r@feddit.de -1 points 1 year ago

Of course they do, what a silly assumption.

[-] detun3d@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

As silly as applying review scores to art? Take a moment to really think about how dumb that is.

So what if they do? It’s anybody’s right to conduct a free transaction. If somebody wants to hire me to write a lovely review of their movie, why not? If I want to hire people to write some bad reviews about my competition, that’s a free transaction. Crazy communists want to exert big government control over the free review market.

It's called integrity and readers having faith in the source material. When it's discovered you're full of shit there's zero benefit to anyone.

You're letting your lemmygrad bullshit seep into this community.

Integrity means if you take money from somebody you do your best to write an excellent review. Also, be equal and fair, charge the same price to write a good review for Oppenheimer as you do to write a good review for Barbie. Take pride in your work and write good compelling reviews, people will pay you what you are worth.

I’ve never even been to Leningrad, I only know it from the Billy Joel tune.
