I like your site a lot more than metacritic, and link to it all the time in my own blog posts and such, which is why I hope you'll see this comment:

You guys should expand to television as well!

Some of the best "films" out there are being broadcast once a week on TV. It's not really that hard to argue for watching the latest episode of Breaking Bad or Mad Men instead of the most recent drivel being shown on my local theater screen. As such, It'd be awesome to get Tomatometer scores for TV shows (or individual seasons of TV shows).

Could you give an example of a psychological disorder that would prevent an otherwise well-adjusted, intelligent person from living a normal life?

Among that tiny minority who don't have such issues, how did they justify their choices/actions?

Semi relevant to question 2: There's a folklegend on my campus about a certain homeless man. Supposedly he was a hugely successful lawyer who happens to be schizophrenic. For whatever reason, he decided he would prefer to be a homeless man living on the streets off his medication than materially successful while on his medication. Here's the (alleged) kicker: his family took him to court in an effort to get the power to force him to take his meds, not live on the streets, etc. He took his meds long enough that he regained his lawyerly ways for the court battle, won handedly, and immediately stopped taking his meds and returned to the streets. This tale might be all true or 100% false, I honestly don't know, but I'd like to hear the reasons why that somewhat similar tiny minority would choose such a life.
