Re: how to deal with your own changing taste over time ?

I only change my vote for the worse when I feel it's justified. That justification would have to be some new discovery during the rewatch. Something I didn't notice before, so I wasn't able to realize the movie is actually much worse than I thought. But even then it's seldom guaranteed I'll downrank the movie.
Some movies become stale due to too many rewatches, due to you watching them at home instead of a big screen or due your current mood. Sometimes even the absence of 3D. Those things don't count.
Another reason might the accounting for novelty factors such as a director's style or something. Sometimes I'm really impressed by some auteur's movie, but 5 years later the things that blew me away I find to be somewhat common. They just weren't common to me, because I hadn't seen very many movies.
So unless I have a good reason, I try to never change a rating for the worse. And it has to be rewatch-based.
