Hmm, interesting idea.

Here's another question: how would you represent something that had no rating yet?

Jennifer, that's interesting - because iTunes HIDES the stars, but Netflix just shows them "grayed out."

Representing that in a more "creative" way is definitely something to explore.

I like that Netflix also has a "not interested" button. For me, that's the best way indicate the movies I hate.

Becky, it seems that movies rated as 'not interested' don't show up in my ratings total. I wonder how those movies are "grouped," and if they are used to generate suggestions (or lack of suggestions, in this case).
