Introducing Pretentious-O-Meter, a website developed by Computer Scientist Niall Beard that gauges how "pretentious" or "mass market" different movies are by calculating the difference between their public ratings and critic ratings on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.
Essentially, if a film gets high ratings from critics, but low ones from audiences, like Sideways, it's considered "pretentious". Alternately, if a film gets high ratings from audiences and low ones from critics, like Half Baked, it's considered "mass market".
Where do your favorite films land on the pretentious/mass market spectrum? Let us know down in the comments!
