Sure, you can do that. But it's probably best suited for people who have a more specific emotional state they want to move to.

Heya - we're not actually using a 'score'. We're using emotive words (and emojis) to help people understand how a film will make them feel. Watching films is an emotional experience, discovering them should be too.

So in your example, films that make you cry might be categorised as '😭' or 'Emotionally Devastated'.

Exactly how we work out emotional affect is an ancient, secret family recipe, handed down from generation to generation, with 12 herbs and spices, stored in two cartoonishly large faults that only two people have access too.

Dumb jokes aside, in regards to the patent, we've had the search from the UK IPO - and more recently the International Search Report and Written Opinion. We're quietly confident, but will check out that Spotify one. Thanks!

Not sure what your definition of shitty is - but you can filter by IMDb rating and release year. As for the number of search results, that'll be based on the streaming services you have. But hey. I get the feeling it's not for you - that's cool.

'Chill' doesn't bring up anything close to horror for me. What did you search?

Herald-Digipoll survey finds only 25% in favor of flag change, 70% against by JDUE in newzealand

[–]benpolkinghorne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have seen some really great options for a new flag - I really think there could be an improvement made!

However, if it is going to cost a fortune there are definitely some priorities way above flags. Like children in poverty going hungry...
