Watchdog, the Movie-Night Scorekeeper

Field notes

Watchdog organizes movie-night recommendations as a private inbox exchange. A recipient can pass on a pick, return to it later, or rate it from one to five stars while adding a description of the viewing experience; the recommender’s RecScore then changes. The page also describes a three-pick mode based on the people present, their mood, and prior recommendation accuracy. Initial setup includes roughly eighteen reactions and a personal Top 5.
