Stars

---

ok, this might seem random but..

i was wondering about star rateings. not just on this site but in general, includeing movies and such.
so the question is, what does the number of stars mean 2 u? like, if u were to give a movie a rateing out of 5 stars, is it representing like, a scale of -2 to 2 ( as in 3 stars would b nutral, 1 star would b crap and 5 would b really good) or is it like a scale of 1 to 5 ( one star is bad, 3 is pretty good and 5 is super good)?

cuz i was doing an assignment 4 english where we have 2 ( 2 simplify thigs) review sumthing and i added a star rateing which in my opinion ment it was reasonably good, but in the opinion of others meant it was nuteral/bad..... so what do those litle friggen stars actually mean?

go grab anews paper.doesnt matter what symbol they use for ratings, its all the same shit.hit the movie reviews, right at the beginning its going to have a key, same as any map, that key will define what is meant by the rating system they have.its most notable in sunday papers here, they dont always have the key in the daily, but in that thick ass sunday paper, they always list the key before the reviews.

all rating systems are pretty arbitrary and subjective. I could rent out my basement and call it a 5 star hotel. There are some prestigeous rating organisations though. If a restaurant earns even a single Michelin star, it's concidered to be world class.

yea, they dodnt do keys 4 it in papers here. i guess they expect u 2 know....oh wel, i mostly ignor them as my oppinion is most likley less shit then the critics

My horoscope says I am having a five star day, but I think it is wrong.

"If a restaurant earns even a single Michelin star, it's concidered to be world class."OK...so how about "world class" ratings?

In reply to: My horoscope says I am having a five star day, but I think it is wrong. possibly you'd prefer an eight star day
