My excellent roommate and I (the denizens of the Haunt of Macbeth) hereby introduce a new rating system for movies. :-)
--Warm fuzzies: seven is the perfect number. Warm fuzzies can be for romantic rightness, tight-plot-rightness, or just general happiness and...rightness.
--Bloody daggers: Again, seven is the perfect number. It's not violence for violence's sake--it needs to both be cool (in our subjective opinion) and preferably serve the plot. Here we're looking for car chase scenes like in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, or swordfights like in Pirates of the Caribbean. Too many bloody daggers means it's too violent.
--The think system: Seven is still the perfect number. If the movie is awesomely cool and has a thoroughly foul philosophy behind it, it will not get many happy thoughts.
--Stuff and nonsense: to be avoided.

Interesting. Can you try it out on some sample movies, so that we can see how it works?
Please? Pirates might be a decent example.
