Demo account. Suspicious of comfort. If everyone loves it I want to know why.
Archetype
The Provocateur
Suspicious of comfort. With a streak of The Genre Devotee.
12% of curators. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.
Work that unsettles: bleak, open, demanding. They trust discomfort more than reassurance and rate the thing that made they argue.
Where it goes wrong: Difficulty is not depth. Sometimes the cold thing is just cold, and you rated it up for the chill.
More about the Provocateur
- Avoids
- Comfort, closure, and being told how to feel. Warmth on its own reads as a sales pitch.
- How they rate
- Your five stars go to the difficult. Your one star goes to the smooth. The middle is where you are bored.
- Good company
- The Formalist respects you, the Ironist enjoys you, and the Comfort Seeker is your most productive opposite.
- Against the crowd
- You are the reliable hot take: harsher than the crowd on beloved warmth, kinder to the punishing and the strange.

Each spoke is one dimension; further out means a stronger lean that way than other curators. A big shape is a strong, unusual taste; a small one is close to the middle of everyone.
Ratings by medium
The dashed line is the mean. Kinder to books than films? It shows here.

★★★★½ruthless_ruth
Paranoia as a physical substance. Nobody trusts anybody and the film agrees with them. The blood test scene is a perfect short film.
Mostly about the story.

★★★★½ruthless_ruth
The funniest film about class until it is not. The peach fuzz scene is a heist. The basement is a thesis.
Mostly about the story.

★★★★★ruthless_ruth
Toni Collette at the dinner table is the best acting in a horror film this century and the film around her earns it. The last twenty minutes are a slow fall into a very specific hell.
Mostly about the performances.
