Users can give 1-10 grades to movies. After the death of Creator/HeathLedger, many users [[PraisingShowsYouDontWatch pre-emptively gave]] ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' a perfect 10 rating, while at the same time giving perennial high rankers such as ''Film/TheGodfather'' a rating of 1. Prior to the release of ''The Twilight Saga: New Moon'' the more avid of the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' fans gave mass ratings of 10 to the film [[PraisingShowsYouDontWatch before it even came to theaters]], luckily [[ImageBoards /b/]] was there to even it out with a healthy dose of 1s without even seeing it.
