321 Entries for “ratings”

  1. Rating of movies, stories, songs, etc. Whoever rates them gives their opinion of what they just heard, read, or saw. You don’t have to have a certificate to rate them I essentially could rate them and put them online for people to see. I don’t hold much value in ratings.

  2. ratings are a thing that offer people a sense of what something is worth or how it has been described by others, it gives people a chance to know what they are getting into. it is also used heavily in the television industry to show how many people whatch it, or listen to it. Ratings are what people and critics give movies, restaurants, hotels.

  3. Ratings. We care so much about them. Movie ratings, blog ratings, academic ratings. At its core, we connect ratings with value and purpose. Should we? What makes you?

  4. The ratings seemed to fly, and Eric looked back in surprise. Zavier looked at him, seeming pleased. Sawyer also seemed content – but Morgan looked murderous. Eric felt a slight jolt of sympathy for the older, wiser boy. He’d always looked up to Morgan. Morgan’s responsibility and maturity was incredible, and Eric always wanted to have it.
    “I think it was a team effort,” Eric told Zavier with a dip of his head to all three of the higher-up figures. “Alexis and Julian helped out, too.”
    “That may be so,” agreed Zavier, his dark eyes glowing. “But those ratings are yours, Eric.”

  5. classification according to grade or rank.

  6. people give them to judge others but in reality its a reflection of themselves and what they wish they could be. scales and numbers people assign to music, movies and such to give their opinion of how good or bad they are.

  7. Ratings are very cruel to people who have a low self esteem. It seems that most people with low self esteem get nervous when ratings are involved and do poorer on a topic than they would with a topic they would have no pressure with.

  8. Ratings are very useful. They help people understand what’s worth their time and what isn’t. I’ve saved myself a couple hours. KBYEEEEILOVEEEYOUUU :)

    how do i tell a guy i like him?

  9. ratings are about people
    judging everyone about anything.

    ratings are one person’s feelings
    judging one person to the world.

  10. Who cares what the ratings are? We are going to cook what makes us happy. We are going to cook it with the intent of love. When you put love in your labor, it doesn’t matter what the city thinks. People must be more adventurous. They have to taste what they have never tasted before.

  11. a number, star, or percentage which determines whether or not something is liked.
    hotels, restaurants, movies, television shows. everything is “rated”.

    I wonder who’s rating ranks most important?

  12. My heart rate was fast, my breathing too, I could see it myself. Every beat I saw, my eyes pumping just as heard as my heart. Colors shifting back and forth from normalcy of the sky to the color of the blood pulsing just beneath the surface. lying on my back, grass cool and damp, I could feel your rhythm too. Our vitals were one, and as mine slowed down I could feel yours also, and I remained eternally in sync with you.

  13. I hate ratings because suddenly they box in what your expectations were previously. I always succumb to their lure when a movie I really want to see comes to town and I read or hear a review rating the movie.

  14. A showing of how well-perceived something is by the general audience or public.

  15. ratings are stupid.

    irrelevant even.

    who are you to tell me what is and is not appropriate for my age.

    You don’t know me.

  16. Ratings are phooey. Critics are simply people who failed at their own professions, thus needing to pinpoint the faults of others. But so many people believe ratings, because we all long to believe in something. Since nowadays nobody believes in God anymore. Ratings are all we have. We worship the quality of everything yet we don’t understand anything.

  17. are a way of expressing pure subjective opinion disguised as objective. Ratings are thus, bullshit and should be outlawed.

  18. Many things in life are overrated, or given ratings. As the free people were supposed to be we shouldnt let corporations or associations rate things for us. We should decide what we want and disregard all the ratings. Ratings on movies, music, our work performance and so on. Why do we need to be rated?

    by delia on 03.20.2012
  19. I don’t see things in numbers. When people ask me to ‘rate’ something from 1 to 10, I really don’t know what to do. I could rate something on a scale of brown to yellow, peas to macaroni and cheese, ants to cats, Moneyball to The Goonies, but not from 1 to 10.

  20. I think everything that you rate has a specific reason you rate it. It’s not always about that you tell how good it is by a number or letter, or that fact that you can actually rate it. You can rate music, but it wasn’t created to be rated. It’s created to be listened to. Listen. Don’t judge.

  21. rating my friends based on who they are. don’t be someone you aren’t. that’ll make your rating go down.. be yourself. then ill love you. like i love him. he is the most original amazing person i’ve ever met in my life and i love him to death.. that’s how you make it through life.

  22. o mein gott..das leben die zeit und die vernunft..von allem hab ich keine ahnung..den mein herz besiegt meinen verstand immer und immer wieder… egal was du tust bauchgefühl ist herzgefühl.

  23. it makes me think of value judgments. i wonder if some folks are a little too concerned with ratings and not enough with artistic integrity. if talent is nurtured, a slow burner tv show may flower into something brilliant and popular. like seinfeld. the ratings went over the roof for that. but not to begin with

    by Paul T on 03.20.2012
  24. The ratings to this new show are going through the roof. I can’t believe how go this is and who they got as cast.

  25. Three stars signalled gold – pixellated displays upon a computer screen. The other two were blank, desaturated, something missing.
    The page flashed to another from the aid of instant broadband. Five stars this time. Something better.

  26. rating something is basically just giving ur opinion on it in a bunch of starts, people rate you, you rate them, they rate your stuf, your rate peoples stuff, everything can be rated

    by Daniel Rodriguez on 03.20.2012
  27. Why do we care so much about what people think? Why are we obsessed with what they would rate us in their minds. We are not movies or restaurants or anything of the sort. We are people whose beauty should not be defined by a magazine and whose intelligence should not be defined by an IQ test.

  28. They would give me a score. 1-10. A rating to show how good I was at their games. I knew I would pass easily. Get a score of 10 in everything. I always did. I am a genius kid, but not of my own accord. I’m a lab child.

  29. they feed off it, thrive off it, spend their whole lives trying to get the most of it. They preen over, primp over, plump over, roll over, chase after, fawn over, kill over it. it defines them, defiles them, they live and they die by them. theyd do anything, for those numbers on a screen. what kind of life can be lived if there living by these, the judgement, the scrutiny, they will end on their knees. in a world which believes that number hold all, where will these numbers be when they fall?

  30. i am as passive as i am selfish
    i am wrong as i am right
    i am judgmental
    i will tear apart
    everything that is once beautiful
    and once was ugly.
    everything has become a number.
    in the world of art,
    we are all math teachers.
    i am what you are

  31. Ratings? I don’t pay attention to them.

  32. When George Washington was a little boy, he was angry and hated everything. His Dad even had a cherry tree that he loved more than lil’ George, so George took his hatchet and sacrificed the tree to Satin. When his Dad asked, “George did you do this?”, George replied, “I cannot tell a lie! It was Wilson, the slave.” Even if George wasn’t lying and fessed up to it, he would be lying in saying that he cannot tell a lie because he would always have the ability to tell a lie, but that doesn’t mean that he would tell a lie. Similar to George Washington, Congress has many cherry trees to chop, and finally it turns out one of cherry trees is the tree of life and next thing you know, everyone in the world hates the United States of American Republic. Now, when put into the perspective of what would have become if the Turkey became our national bird is pizza for another day.

  33. Describing something with numbers. 1-10. How good are you? Movie ratings. Food ratings. Vacation ratings. Taking other peoples personal experience to decide whether or not you yourself choose to experience it

    by Bpasta on 03.20.2012
  34. Are you good enough? Oh you really think so? Let me tell you what I think. Sure maybe it’s good, maybe it’s awful, either way take it as constructive even though I might just be torturing you because I have nothing better to do. Is it true or false? No one knows.

    by WDB on 03.20.2012
  35. A system I will likely always feel undervalued by. Everything that is created by me with productive intent is likely to fall subject to it, and is likely to crash when compared to the ratings of the giants. But hey, everyone must start somewhere

    by redred on 03.20.2012
  36. Ratings are a way in which we gauge the quality of things. It allows us to describe to other people the efficacy or quality of an object or showing. Ratings are often used to describe how mature one should be in order to view something

  38. RATINGS. Movie ratings are usually bull. I would rather just see a movie and formulate my own opinion than reading all the critiques beforehand.
    RATINGS. Kids who post statuses on Facebook with just, “Ratings?” need shot. I don’t care if I’m a 4 or a 9, and neither should you.

  39. the television balres loudly at me screaming rarely is it a picture of stillness and i remember the race and the push but also the safety of a dead brain, of a screen in between you and the action, the way that nothing will ever be the same, and to experience this change, you must get out of the chair.

  40. movies have ratings. I usually read about them when picking out a movie to see. I’m not always influenced by them but I like to see what others think of something I’m interested. Sometimes I don’t agree with what’s said. Interesting because they’re really just a matter of opinion and you know what they say about opinions right? Thumbs up or thumbs down, if it’s something I want to see, I’m going to go see it.
