take this usecase as an example, a user purchases (or if your a pirate, downloads) a movie through a third party application, upon completion that application sends a webservice request to mmdb saying that the movie is now "acquired". then the user watches the movie through xbmc (or any other media player) and xbmc now sends a webservice request that the movie has been "watched" and at the end of the movie, the user can choose to rate the movie, tag the movie as "loved"/"hated".

Basically we'd want someone to extend the current scrobbling API - there are a bunch of services (like trackt.tv and this one) that could benefit from a generalized API.
A patch for this would be most welcome - obviously we'd want it pushed to addons eventually, but just something defining the API would be a good start (eg the scrobbling one just sends info on each playback, but we might want to generalize this to send hints on favourites or whatever)
Cheers,
Jonathan

I would love to see someone get this working as a script or addon.
It would be great to just start a movie etc and have it automatically be submitted.

Have a look at the trakt.tv plugin if you want to develop something - you should be able to use that as a starting point.

You mean if your a member of Sharethe.TV or Trakt, after the movie/TV Show finishes, the skin asks for feedback on the film?
I think this should be added as a request for the Trakt/SharetheTV team to implement into their program, rather than the skinners.
The skinners could - if Trakt gets bigger, add the comments fields into the Movie information once it's in place though.

More like: now most skins have stuff like recently added popping up somewhere on their home menu.
My idea is to have something like your sig but then from your friends on the home menu.
That way it's kind'of like a suggestion from your friend, so when u see him/her again u can talk about the same movie/serie.

it needs 2 things, a script that made this info available to the skin, and modification to the skin.
