Papa's Got a Brand New Bag!

To be more exact, stargazers, this 'new bag' means an updated ratings system and Papa, of course, means that I'm your Daddy! Ahem, anyways. As much as I like to believe, I am not always perfect. When I started this website nearly 250 posts ago, I followed one cardinal rule for my ratings:

"Seven's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. Seven dwarves. Seven, man, that's the number. Seven chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch."

Thus this system was born:

The Old Ratings System

Full Price ($$$$)
Full Price ($$) <> Matinee ($$)
Matinee ($$)
Matinee ($$) <> Second Run Seats ($)
Second Run Seats ($)
Second Run Seats ($) <> Group Rental ($)
Group Rental ($)

In all honesty, I never really cared for the "<>"symbols and I have come to learn that Blogger doesn't care for repeated "$'s". Blogger frequently removes the duplicates in an effort to "help" my writing.

I declare enough with the "<>", the "$'s" and my obvious fascination with "quotes!" It's 2009 and I think you stargazers need more change you can believe in. One change I won't be making is redoing my pre-2009 reviews...unless I find myself with a wealth of time on my hands (hahaha!). Instead, the following ratings will be effective from 2009 onward, or at least until my fickle ways spur me to change once again.

I haven't quite worked out what image will replace the "$" but I have a few ideas. I'm also open to suggestions, or criticisms if that's your bag. Enough blathering about the new ratings. Let's put this baby to work!
