We've talked about that, but at least right now you can rank and see your favorite films by actor... We could even potentially look at your rankings and determine which actors are your favorites by how often they appear in highly ranked movies among your list - which we may also have as a feature in the future...

A comment on the question "Two movie requests." in Flickchart:

No problem. We do hope you won't see your many hours spent as a "waste". :) Thanks for being such a loyal and frequent user. – Nathan, on February 07, 2010 03:25

Nathan replied on February 07, 2010 01:35 to the question "Pre-Cache Movies in Ranking Screen to Save Load Time" in Flickchart:

On a regular "All Movies" filter matchup, it's taking approximately 300ms or less to get a new pair (during testing right now).

Caching is something we've considered but the issue is that each matchup is contingent on the last to some degree, so certain decisions would make caching moot, as the next cached matchup to show would be invalid based on previous choices - especially if you are marking films as unseen, or jumping around from filter to filter. The time to compute each cached matchup to be valid or not would be longer than it would to simply get a new pair.

That's how I understand it, anyhow. Jeremy (who is the programmer behind it) might have some better insight than I on why we don't (at least currently) implement caching on retrieving new matchups.

Out of curiosity, where are you accessing Flickchart from? Our servers are located in Tampa, FL, USA.

Hey Matthew,

It looks like "The Mania Of Wrestlemania" is a 45-min. documentary that only appears as bonus content on the Wrestlemania 20 DVD, and was aired at least once on TV.

As of right now, we don't have "behind-the-scenes"-type documentaries from any movie on Flickchart (there are tons of them as DVD extras for many, many movies).. We're sticking to films that have had individual release on VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray for now, otherwise we'd have to include bonus feature-type documentaries on Star Wars, Alien, etc. - It's just a little beyond our scope.

One example we do include is "Heart of Darkness", which is a full-length documentary about "Apocalypse Now", which you can buy on its own on DVD. Or "His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th" - also available by itself on DVD. Hope that makes sense...

I did just approve "Beyond the Mat" though!
