Surprisingly, I have finally migrated my movie ratings over from my backup of the dead zip to the current site. As with many migrations, the bulk was fine – literally cut and paste from the backup html – followed by some massaging of the results. There was the odd carriage return and a whole bunch of accents that didn’t seem to migrate well. Still, relatively painless for several hundred lines of code/content.
The bulk of the content covers 2001-2005 with a little bit of 2007 and 2016. There’s some inbetween years where I was at least writing paragraph summaries of filmfest viewings and I think I can convert them to starred ratings. I liked my approach in 2016 of adding a short line of thoughts to complement the rating. Will see if I can add that for some of the older ones and do it some more going forward.
A lot of interesting films in the 2000s. Not fully sure what I’m going to do with it all. Part of me is a little interested in creating a personal database of all my film stuff, fully normalised of course. Certainly I need to explore merging the basic starred stuff with the reviews I’ve written.
To start with, here is a list of everything I gave a 5 star rating to. I’ll do a new version of this when I add the rest of the content:
