… like imdb or amazon.
I was looking at the IMDB entry for Blankey-Blank, a British gameshow. At the bottom of the page, it says
**
If you like this title, we also recommend…
Alien (1979) **
Odd.
IMDb is really bad about this, it’s true. On their page for the Straight Dope TV show, they’re currently recommending this. A few days ago, it was some KISS thing.
Ever played Six Degrees of IMDb? You start with any movie you want to and click on its recommendation. Then you click on that movie’s recommendation, and so on and so forth. I was going to do it now and post my results, but of course, when you want it to give you ridiculous recommendations, it won’t.
Netflix recommendations suck. Because I like:[ul]
[li]Monty Python’s Flying Circus[/li][li]To Die For[/li][li]The X-Files[/li][li]Adaptation[/ul][/li]they recommended “Dahmer.” That’s right - if you like silly walks, you like serial killers.
Well, they probably recommended Dahmer because you rented “The X-Files”.
My friend rented some gay yoga thing and they recommened a documentary on the history of pro wrestling.
