Weekend Hack: Rotten Tomatoes reviews overlayed on Netflix (Extensions)

There's an extension for Safari as well (submitted for approval, but here's a link in meantime): <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?li7j7965f67ryrg" rel="nofollow">http://www.mediafire.com/?li7j7965f67ryrg</a><p>Also, I wanted to give credit to Matt Blodgett (<a href="http://www.mattblodgett.com/2009/07/rotten-tomatoes-netflix-greasemonkey.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mattblodgett.com/2009/07/rotten-tomatoes-netflix-...</a>). He had the closest thing to what I was looking for (in that case it was a greasemonkey script that is a bit outdated). I re-used the portion of his code that translates movie names from Netflix, to the corresponding RT URL.

I also have a similar project. <a href="http://www.whatsoninstant.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.whatsoninstant.com</a><p>It allows you to sort all movies available on Netflix instant by the rotten tomatoe scores.

Thank you do much. I have wanted this for years. I know that Netflix is interested in predicting what I will like, but I basically never like movies with a tomato score below 75 or so, so before I always browse netflix with a rotten tomato tab open.

I've built an extension which does the same thing for Lovefilm users:<p><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ihlkcdpbkkaeijfdajemgmcaigldpeie" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ihlkcdpbkkaeijfdaj...</a>

These are not as cool as nicoslepicos' extension but I created a Chrome and Firefox extension a while back that lets you retrieve the Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ratings for any movie highlighted (or if it's a link no highlighting is necessary).<p>Chrome: <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pfmcppclannbbilgigjlodcjkkohjiom" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pfmcppclannbbilgig...</a><p>Firefox: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/movie-ratings/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/movie-ratings...</a>

This is a great plugin. And, if someone created this for Grubhub and Foodler with integrated Yelp reviews I would be forever grateful. I can't count the number of times I've had to do the yelp crosscheck on those sites.

nicoslepicos, ig1, OrionJ - Thanks a lot! Is there a source code? I would like to contribute by adding IMDB scores. What do you think?

Nice. Can you talk about how you did this?

As an exercise, and if you really had to, how would one monetize something like this?

You Irish? Did you watch Michael Collins. You should, it's a good movie.

This is exactly what I was looking for over the weekend - thank you!!

The fact that Mighty Ducks has a 12% rating tells me that Rotten Tomatoes is fucking terrible.
