SCFZ

i will engage anyone in chessboxing at any time

also i gave MULTIPLE fassbinder movies 0.5 and also multiple 4.5 so do NOT attempt to give me your pauline at the beach thesis

I think I've only seen a handful films in the last few years that I'd give a 1 star rating or lower. A film has to do a lot for me to genuinely hate it, I guess.

Top 40 directors with the highest ratings standard deviation (a measure of the extent of deviation from the average rating).

Directors with the lowest standard deviation:

The top 40 most viewed directors, along with their standard deviation. Most "controversial" are Godard, Spielberg, Linklater, Altman.

For each director, compute the standard deviation for each champ, and average the standard deviations. Only include champs who've seen more than one from the director.

The top 40 directors with the highest average standard deviation:

The 40 directors with the smallest standard deviation:

OK this one is fun. Re-rank the AFI top 100 based on SFZ ratings. Compare the AFI ranking and the SCFZ ranking.

Pretty cool that the IMDB #1 is (rightly) the SCFZ's lowest ranker.

We all love to make fun of the oscars. Let's rank them!

Oh no, I missed some rows at the bottom. It's towards the bottom, but there are a few that rank worse. Let me fix this...

FIXED

Alright, enough for now. More later.

Divisive SCFZ movies. Every single movie with at least one 5 star rating AND 0.5 star rating:

Great to feature on both extremes. I'm also a Green Ray 5 star-er but I guess I haven't rated it on LB.
Umbugbene, that Wake in Fright rating is wack. Is it because of the kangaroo hunt?

Yes. And the octopus scene is why I gave Oldboy 0.5. I wasn't crazy about either film to begin with, but the brutal kangaroo slaughter and the octopus torture knocked them to zero.

A couple of my favorite films (Andrei Rublev and Weekend) are marred by animal killings, and I wish they weren't. Tarkovsky used a horse that was already condemned to death in a factory, but that's no excuse.

One stat I've always been interested in is the widest spread anyone gives to a single director. How often does a particular "champ" give 5.0 and 0.5 to different films by the same director? I suppose people could answer that for themselves without Kanafani running a complicated query. For me the widest spread is Michael Curtiz, from Casablanca (5.0) to White Christmas (0.5). Maybe worth opening a new thread?

I got three such folks

Godard
5=contempt, vivre sa vie, origins of the 21st century
0.5=every man for himself

Akerman
5=Jeanne dielman, news from home
0.5=hotel Monterey

Kren
5=31/75 Asylum
0.5=16/67 September 20th

Considering I've barely given over 100 movies 5/5, this seems like a lot...


Miike: The Bird People in China (5/5) and Audition (0.5/5)
Herzog: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (5/5) and Fata Morgana (0.5/5)
Hellman: Two-Lane Blacktop (5/5) and Road to Nowhere (0.5/5)
Ōshima: A Treatise on Japanese Bawdy Songs (5/5) and In the Realm of the Senses (0.5/5)
Jakubisko: The Drummer for the Red Cross (5/5) and Birdies, Orphans, and Fools (0.5/5)

I was curious to see how much each champ's ratings influences the top 100. If I exclude a champ's ratings, how many movies exit the top 100?

monsieurArkadin: Charlie Chaplin

I just double checked this... gotta be a mistake on my end. I don't particularly care for Monsieur Verdoux... but I can't imagine earnestly giving it a half star.

How about the top 1000? If I exclude a champ's ratings, how many movies exit the top 1000?
