The Comfort Seeker
Warmth, resolution, rewatchability. With a streak of The Archivist.
15% of curators. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.
Warmth, resolution, a place they can return to. The rewatch is the point; the third time is the best time.
Where it goes wrong: Comfort can be a wall. The work that would have changed your mind never gets past the first ten minutes.
More about the Comfort Seeker
- Avoids
- Cruelty for its own sake, endings that withhold, homework. You do not need to be tested by an evening in.
- How they rate
- You rate on how something leaves you. Reliability earns stars; ambition without kindness does not.
- Good company
- The Empath and the Sincere feel like home. Provocateurs baffle you, and you are the one they most need to hear from.
- Against the crowd
- You are kinder than the crowd to gentle, unfashionable work and cooler on acclaimed bleakness.

Fingerprint
Fourteen dimensions, against everyone
Further out is a stronger lean than other curators.
Read this chart
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.
By medium
How June Park rates each kind of thing
One row a medium; the dashed line is the mean. Kinder to books than films? It shows here.
Read this chart
One bar per star rating, one row per medium. Where the bars pile up is your habit; the dashed line is your average for that medium.
The map
Every curator, placed by taste
The two directions taste varies most along. Archetypes cluster; June Park is ringed, and people they follow are outlined.
Read this chart
Every curator, placed so that people with similar leans sit near each other. The two axes are the directions taste varies most along, found from all profiles. Neighbors are worth a look.
Against the crowd
Where June Park parts ways with the audience
Above the line, kinder than the crowd; below it, harsher.
Read this chart
Each dot is a title: your stars up, the audience's average across. Dots above the line are where you were kinder than the crowd, below it harsher. A wide spread means you do not follow consensus.

Two people talk and it is the most romantic film ever made because nothing happens except the thing that matters. The listening booth. That is all.
Mostly about the story.

A comedy that turns into a philosophy lecture and stays funny. The door in the sky is the best ending Hollywood ever allowed.
Mostly about the story.
Fleabag 2016
★★★★★5.0
Funniest show, saddest show, most romantic show. The priest saying 'kneel' is the best line reading in television.
Mostly about the performances.

I read it in one sitting and then lay on the floor. Rooney writes miscommunication like a horror writer writes a basement.
Mostly about the craft, the story, comfort.
