Movies
A film arrives as numbers: a year, a director, a running time, a format it was watched on. Those are printed here next to the only part no machine supplies, which is somebody sitting down and saying what the thing was like.
Every review on this page was written by a person who watched the film and typed the sentences. No part of the prose is generated — not a draft, not a summary, not a polish pass. What is automated here is the plumbing: the page is assembled from a data file, the weekday on a listing is derived from its date, the review count is counted. None of that writes a word of criticism, and it never will.
The reviews are sponsored, and the sponsor is named under each one. That is all sponsorship buys. Nobody sees a review before it is posted, and no verdict on this page belongs to anyone but its writer.
