From the (Ann Arbor) Blog depric manession
Now that is clever!
My new rating system... | Apr. 12th, 2004 @ 01:58 am |

I read books and watch movies. I like to talk about the movies I watch
and books I read. I even like to rate them sometimes. I've noticed that
many bloggers include ratings in their entries, so I have decided to
join the party.
However, I am strange... a little strange anyway. I've decided to do a backwards scale... using something I deal with everyday. Antidepressants.

Left to right: Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor, and Wellbutrin.
The fewer antidepressants (ADs) you need to make it through (or even ENJOY) something, the better.
For example:
A Prayer for Owen Meany is a book I love very much. It's depressing, but that's not how the scale works. Since I enjoy this book, it gets a "low" rating, in this case 1 AD -![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tECxdx2Ayxx8vyvz25e53HwZ2aFXRORuTavE4yHObsxDeIkD_cL1wWAiR5STmSnEFylhIhwraM78LyasCt-MiFO-9Q-eEHws4SMr46OYTlSqz1UOADCprouL-Nozx5q1ze9MJ-1geBgoZJ7jZWluJq=s0-d)
Batman and Robin (the one with Alicia Silverstone), was the movie I have come closest to ever walking out of. (I don't walk out of movies... or send food back for that matter.) It gets a "high" rating... 4.5 ADs here -![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vKfIELtGZJnKniEg1wtxb_BVhvxdkO86Prg22H5duvB9p19MAglp2MIp-icP513YjsOPN4aljBRsbYCJU96Vk-3Ij51QQtWCpKXYkGk3o1dy0eYL1lGRT7FOb2tieYXQ1nW-4RqXL7ZzV1NsYAFT3Gr-U=s0-d)
Get the idea?
