Well said!

WatchThis is still young. In the near future, we will introduce new features aimed at making it easier for you to find better movies. We start with comments. It is now possible to express your approbation to one’s comment by simply clicking on “well said!”. We want to encourage you to write thoughtful comments to recommend a movie (or not), and we hope you will reward good comments by clicking on this new button.

Here’s how it works. I’m looking at The Butterfly Effect.

Ashton Kutcher… meh… oh, wait. Kevin’s comment addresses my concerns: “I was afraid his past characters would stick, but no, he’s really good in this thriller.” And hop, it’s in my list. Now all I want is to thank Kevin: I simply click “Well said!”

But what does this all really mean? Well, behind the scenes, when a user writes good comments, (s)he will become more influential. And that’s all we can say for now.

In other news, you recently added to your list and watched more than a thousand of different movies. Out of a thousand movies, there must be some that you loved, hated, or found that the book was way better or that people shouldn’t try to make movies based on video games? Well go ahead, tell the world!
