Writing about movie.guru?
Here's the whole kit.

Reporters, bloggers, podcasters, and that one friend who runs the group chat like a newsroom: the boilerplate, the fast facts and how to quote a score without getting it twisted.

movie.guru in one paragraph

movie.guru is a non-commercial movie fan blog with a 2006 MySpace look. Every movie on the site gets the movie.guru score, an algorithmic 1 to 10 rating that ranks critic and audience scores against thousands of notable movies and weighs critics and audiences 50/50, so the median movie lands at 5.5. Movies the site's author, movie guru, has reviewed also get The Guru’s Take: a personal rating and a short, funny TLDR review, shown next to the score and never counted in it. The site also tracks box office, the Netflix Top 10, trailers and where to watch, and sends a free Weekly Roundup email every Thursday.

Copy it, trim it, run it.
