Script to simplify Netflix activity pages (in progress)

I love Netflix, but there's no easy way to get a listing of the movies I've rated through the service.

To ease with that, I've finally started on a script that will clean the Netflix output, so it's a bit easier to parse.

Fire up Chrome, visit either https://www2.netflix.com/RentalActivity?all=true or https://account.netflix.com/WiViewingActivity?all=true, open a console, and use the following two scripts:

Script 1: Load jQuery

var GM_JQ = document.createElement('script'); 
GM_JQ.src = 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js';
GM_JQ.type = 'text/javascript'; 
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(GM_JQ);

Script 2: Remove rating graphics

$('.stbrIl').hide();
$('.stbrMaskFg').css('background-image', 'none').css('text-indent', '0').css('width', '200px').css('vertical-aign', 'middle');
$('.stbrMaskBg').css('background-image', 'none');

There's still work to be done, but it's a sufficient start. I've thought about a user script, and might implement that once this is done.
