Demo account. Suspicious of comfort. If everyone loves it I want to know why.
Work that unsettles: bleak, open, demanding. They trust discomfort more than reassurance and rate the thing that made they argue.
Where it goes wrong: Difficulty is not depth. Sometimes the cold thing is just cold, and you rated it up for the chill.

Glad I finally listened to Adult Themes for Voice. Polished and serious, the real thing. The structure is strange and it keeps paying off. Not perfect, but it stays with you.
Mostly about the craft, the story.
Glad I finally read Buffalo Hunter Hunter. The darkness is earned, not worn for effect. It goes straight for the heart and gets there. Worth your time.
Mostly about the craft, the story.
S.p.l.i.t mostly works, and when it works it really works. Heavy going, and it is meant to be. Small and intimate, and all the better for it. Worth your time.
Glad I finally played No, I'm Not A Human. It stares at the worst of people and does not look away. I would happily play it again.
Mostly about the story.
Half of Horses is wonderful. The bleakness curdles into a pose after a while. Demanding, and worth every bit of the effort.
A good record, close to a great one. A slow burn that rewards sitting with it. I would happily listen to it again.
Mostly about the craft, comfort.
The Thing got under my skin. The darkness is earned, not worn for effect. Completely sincere, without a wink in sight. Already want to watch it again.
Mostly about how it felt.
Paranoia as a physical substance. Nobody trusts anybody and the film agrees with them. The blood test scene is a perfect short film.
Mostly about the story.
The funniest film about class until it is not. The peach fuzz scene is a heist. The basement is a thesis.
Mostly about the story.
Further out is a stronger lean than other Buds.
Each spoke is one dimension; further out means a stronger lean that way than other Buds. A big shape is a strong, unusual taste; a small one is close to the middle of everyone.
One row a medium, half a star a bar; the dashed line is the mean. Kinder to books than films? It shows here.
One bar per star rating, one row per medium. Where the bars pile up is your habit; the dashed line is your average for that medium.
The two directions taste varies most along. Archetypes cluster; Ruthless Ruth is ringed, and people they follow are outlined.
Every Bud, placed so that people with similar leans sit near each other. The two axes are the directions taste varies most along, found from all profiles. Neighbors are worth a look.
Above the line, kinder than the crowd; below it, harsher.
Each dot is a title: your stars up, the audience's average across. Dots above the line are where you were kinder than the crowd, below it harsher. A wide spread means you do not follow consensus.
Needs ratings across at least two years, with three or more in each.
Year by year, on the four strongest dimensions.
One line per dimension, one point per year: the average character of what you loved that year. A line that climbs means your favorites moved toward that pole.
