I don't think an option to hide mainstream recommendations does quite what I want. That would help when looking for more out-of-the-way hidden gems for recommendations, but it doesn't help when trying to rate films I've seen to improve the quality of my circle. I'd still suggest that you propose rating movies that polarize people heavily, as a partitioning technique. This works both in the general case (show me movies that many people rated, but which get both very high and very low ratings frequently), and in the specific case based on the contents of your circle (help me rate movies that would differentiate me from members of my current circle, not just movies that would reinforce my circle).

As for 0.5 versus 0, fair enough; it just seemed a bit quirky. :)

> Regarding "but now I don't see an obvious next step.", this sounds weird; you should normally have been redirected to a search result (a Circle) straight out of rating 5 movies, no more. Isn't that what happened?

Nope; I kept rating movies, until eventually all of the initial sets of films disappeared, and nothing else happened.

> There's no other "I haven't seen this movie" once you land your first search Circle, because there's no point. Either you haven't seen it and it stays as a recommendation (which you can add to your deegList), or you really don't want to see it and you can therefore Mute it with the "-" sign.

Fair enough. However, I wonder: do you take "mute" into account when doing recommendations, or just hide films? In particular, I see a number of films for which I could either rate them 0.5 ("I can tell from the trailer that this will suck") or mute them ("I guess I should reserve judgement, but I don't ever want to see it").

One more misplaced translation: "Retour en haut".
