Last night I was searching for a specific movie. I went searching for streaming services like Amazon, Mubi and so on, but there was nowhere to be found! Then I searched for a DVD and again I found nothing. Finally, I went through all the pirate sites that I already knew, and typed “Winter in Sokcho 2024”. I went on searching for about 30 minutes. A movie would come up, but the movie didn’t exist at all.

At that point, I realized that I might be the only person who wanted to watch this movie.

Then I asked myself, how many movies are lost like this? Maybe a copy exists somewhere forgotten, yet nowhere to be found. It was played in cinemas for some time though.

Have you ever come at this point? I will go with the book for now, the only thing that exits.

            Ah, you’re right. it has 69% in TMDB. I loathe TMDB ratings. There’s a lot to say about IMDb ratings, but because so many people vote there, they at least allow you to broadly judge the quality of a movie. Anything below 5.5 is basically unwatchable without drugs and/or friends to riff on the movie. For the TMDB this is not the case.

              Yea I think by default Jellyfin uses TMDB because there’s a charge to use IMDB’s API. I don’t rely much on ratings so it never bothered me. But I do agree the ratings are shit on TMDB, if I really need to know the ratings I look at RT.
