Recommendation and review status
“Definitely recommended” is an approved viewing recommendation from the owner. Coming soon! means the written review and its editorial checks are unfinished. Both labels can apply to the same film: knowing that a film is recommended does not require pretending its review has already been written.
The six existing developed manuscripts retain their criticism and viewer advisories. In particular, the recommendation for A Clockwork Orange or Blade Runner does not remove the discussion of sexual violence or coercion in those reviews. A recommendation is not an assurance that every viewer will find a film suitable.
Detailed viewing notes, numerical Corny DNA assessments and approval of advisory wording are separate from the owner's endorsement. The new stubs leave unresearched credits, runtime and content information explicitly pending. No viewing dates or reasons for liking the films have been invented.
