      <title>Greasmonkey script annotates IMDb movies with their decoder-ring percentile ranks</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Sam at &lt;a href="http://rephrase.net/"&gt;rephase.net&lt;/a&gt; has harnessed the earth-shattering power of the &lt;a href="http://community.moertel.com/ss/space/IMDB+Movie-Rating+Decoder+Ring"&gt;IMDb movie-rating decoder ring&lt;/a&gt; to create a &lt;a href="http://rephrase.net/days/07/06/imdb-decoder"&gt;Greasmonkey script that annotates IMDb-listed movies with their percentile ranks&lt;/a&gt;. Now you don&amp;#8217;t need to look up a movie&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;star rating&amp;#8221; in the decoder ring to see where the movie ranks; the ranking appears right on the movie&amp;#8217;s IMDb page.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Do check out the &lt;a href="http://rephrase.net/box/user-js/scripts/imdb-percentile-ratings.user.js"&gt;script itself&lt;/a&gt;  to see how Sam cleverly embeds a copy of the decoder ring and plucks scores from it as needed.&lt;/p&gt;
