15 ways to make the most of Matt's Movie Watching World
1: Come visit this page, the Facebook page, the Twitter page, and the Tumblr blog whenever you feel like it. I recommend that you visit often. You decide what qualifies as "often." See what movies I have seen recently, which ones I have added to my list, and which ones I have added reviews for since the last time you visited.
2: Familiarize yourself with my system of rating movies. I rate movies on a scale of <1 to 10>, <10> being the best. I also add + and - signs to many of my ratings, similar to grading systems in school. Most movies I watch get a <6 or 7 or 8>, while <10>'s and ratings less than <4> are rare. I think of this as being because I'm often too optimistic to think most movies deserve less than <4>, and I'm too realistic to think most movies deserve higher than <9>. I encourage you to use the same or similar system when you rate your own movies.
3: When my "last movie seen" image says "in theater," that means that that movie is the most recent movie I have seen in the theater. When it says "for first time," that means it's the most recent movie I have added to my list. If the last movie I watched, the last movie I added to my list, and the last movie I saw in the theater are three different movies, then three different movies would appear on the page. If two of those movies are the same, then two movies appear. If one movie counts as all three, then only one movie appears.
4: Understand that I like a lot of Disney, animated, and family movies. I like a good number of superhero movies, comedies, sci-fi, and fantasy movies. I watch and like other movies too, but accept that I think these kids' movies and other varieties are some of the best movies ever made, and I don't apologize for that.
5: Understand that I haven't seen every movie. I've seen a lot of movies, and I've heard of a great deal more movies, but I'm only one person. I do other things besides watch movies sometimes, so to save time and money, I have to pick and choose which ones I care enough to watch. And some movies I could have seen earlier I see later instead.
6: Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Tumblr if you have such social network memberships. My movie viewings and my scale-from-<1-to-10> numbers should appear in your feed. If I watch a movie you like, or if you agree with the general opinion I have of it, click the "like" or any reaction button, or make an interesting comment. Start a conversation. The more you react and comment, the more it will appear in your feed.
7: Whenever you think about a movie, whether I've seen it or not, think to yourself, "I wonder if Matt/MMWW has seen that movie," or "I wonder what Matt/MMWW thinks about that movie." Come to the page, click on the movies list and/or reviews chart, type ctrl-F or command-F (find) to search for the movies you're interested in, see what I think, and if you've seen the movie, compare your thoughts to my thoughts. There will be some ways we agree, and there may be some ways we disagree, and both are okay. If I haven't posted on Facebook recently about a specific movie, feel free to type something directly on my Facebook wall.
8: If you feel like watching a movie, but don't know which one to watch, come to my page, click on the movies list, and look over my top 100 favorite movies, marked in yellow, and watch a movie you haven’t seen before. To expand, feel free to look over my top 200 or 300, not marked in yellow. Look over anything I give an <8> or higher, or <7+> or <7>. Obviously, the ones closer to the top of the list I tend to recommend more than the ones under them. If you're looking for a recent movie, playing in the theaters or recently released on home video, type ctrl-F or command-F (find) and look for this year or last year. Watch a movie or a few movies that are high on the list.
9: Look over my list and find out movies you have seen and enjoy that are not on my list. Try to analyze my list, reviews, and opinions to figure out what movies I might be likely to enjoy. Post on my Facebook page your recommendations. If I like a recommendation, and if I like a movie you've recommended, then you'll know you've contributed a little to Matt's Movie Watching World.
10: If you're an everyday visitor, look at my Quote of the Day. Try to guess what character and movie each line comes from, then click on the arrow to see if you’re right. For purposes of this activity, the movie title is to be considered the answer, and the character name is to be considered a hint. (For an additional hint, my most quoted movies are The Princess Bride, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and Forrest Gump.) Have fun with this even if you’re not an everyday visitor.
11: Look at my Gunnther Awards page to see what I think about the best in various categories for every year (or at least the last 36 years). Do this especially during awards season.
12: I always have a box on my page that counts down to my most-anticipated movie, usually being released sometime less than 9 months away. This countdown number changes every day, but I don't change what movie I'm counting down to more than 2 or 3 times a year, so don't expect a new movie countdown often, unless the number has been pretty low recently.
13: Films and movies are essentially the same thing, but films are for reviewing and studying, and movies are for watching and enjoying.
14: Try to make the world a better a place, in some way, at least a little bit, directly or indirectly, with what I say on this page, with what I say on any social networks, and with what I say anywhere. This I speak to myself as well as to my followers.
15: If you can think of a way I can improve Matt’s Movie Watching World, by my webpage layout, or the way I conduct my social networking, make a comment on my Facebook page or send me a private email. I can’t guarantee to have the resources necessary for all improvements, but I would still appreciate feedback if you ever care to offer it.
