Bars move when something ships and not before. The log is what actually happened.
Every reading needs review text, and we want it licensed, one deal at a time, from outlets and archives who know we have it. The slower road on purpose. Scraping around a paywall would poison the thing at the root.
Threads catch what reviews skip. Reddit's public feeds are readable without an app, so the work left is the reading: finding the conversation that actually worked something out and saying what it worked out. Thirteen films have a thread waiting for a person to read it. We link the thread and never a person in it.
A roster of working critics willing to confirm what they actually wrote, so that calling a review bought is something we can prove rather than infer.
One public reading, every discard visible, held up against everyone who disagrees with it. If the method cannot take that in the open, it is not a method.
First revenue, from someone who needs to know whether the wave that hit their film was real. One customer is the whole difference between a project and a business.
The one that takes longest and cannot be bought. It happens after the reviews are good enough that ignoring them costs more than answering the phone.
Corrected: Deadline Hollywood's critic was on the site twice, as Pete Hammond on Hamnet and Peter Hammond on Jurassic World Rebirth. The encyclopedia's prose says Peter and its own citation for the same sentence says Pete. He is one person and now reads as one. His citation number followed the correction rather than a new one being issued.
Threads turned out to be readable without registering an app at all, which was the whole of the blocker on goal 02. Thirteen films now have a conversation found and waiting. None is credited yet: a person has to read the thread and write what it actually worked out, and that is the part a machine must not invent.
Twelve wide releases read and scored, bringing the shelf to 34 films and 128 reviews. Marty Supreme was harvested and did not make it: after one quote was thrown out for naming two other films instead of this one, a single review was left, and one is not a reading.
Posters corrected. The picker was taking the first image on an article, which on a wide release is a photograph of the director; it now takes the poster the article itself puts in its infobox and refuses anything that is not portrait. Twenty-nine of thirty-four films, owner named on each.
The desk is now a stylebook: every ruling on how FP writes, numbered once, dated, and superseded rather than rewritten, with the word list the build enforces published under it.
About answers thirteen questions about the whole site, each one linkable, and is in the header on every page.
Marlow Vance takes the byline. Every film is signed and the About page is his.
Posters live for 17 of 22 films, fair use, owner named on each. One had no owner recorded, and its line says so.
The guide goes on every film: seven categories, a level each, and the critic's own sentence underneath.
Reddit reachable through its public feeds after the API refused us. 13 of 22 films have a thread worth reading.
Twelve more films read and scored by hand. 22 films, 82 reviews, 72 critics.
First three films read. The President's Cake lands at 67 against 99 percent elsewhere, because two substantial dissents count at full weight here.
