I'm not going to lie. I spend a lot of time on IMDb.
They've got an 'automatic' movie recommendation system, that seems good in principle:
With over 462,000 titles on the IMDb it isn't feasible to handpick Recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a complex formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected film and, most importantly, let our trusted user base steer those selections. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre, title, keywords, and, most importantly, user recommendations themselves to generate an automatic response.
But the problem is that their 'formula' is a piece of shit. It's in dire need of a Douchebag filter, to keep out sadistic recommendations meant only to lead the unsuspecting internet community astray.
Take a look at the "If you liked Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, then may we suggest the following..." recommendations:
Suggested by the database :
The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999)
Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004)
A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)
The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1994)
Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004)
The Skulls II (2002) (V)
Basket Case 2 (1990)
Army of Darkness (1993)
Some of these make sense, I guess... but Bridget Fucking Jones???!!!
Some piece of shit asshole was trying to have some fun, I guess...but now, some poor, stupid, trusting teenage boy, having loved the side-splitting hilarity and tounge-in-cheek (or face-cock-in-throat-hole) humor of the brilliance that was 'Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo' is going to be roped into the shitfest that is Bridget Jones, totally expecting to see someone crack open an egg into Renée Zellweger's Vagina.
And he will be disappointed.
That's just not fair.

i don't care if she ate 4 donuts and drank 2 bottles of Chardonnay a day to gain lbs........Bridget Jones sucks!!!!! I loved the book so much.....it was ruined with Renee Z's terrible Madoona like British accent.
Deuce rocked...I own it on DVD.....can't wait for the next one European Gigolo......and I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE 40 YR OLD VIRGIN!!!!!!
love ya Jiggs! AP
The fact that the loyal jiggsblog readers feel admiration towards me, and not disgust, is quite surprising.
ps. right back at ya, AP.
I agree w/ AP, 40 year old virgin should be funny. However, I won't need to see it...I know the 42 year old version.....
I hated bridget jones!
who didn't hate Bridget Jones??
I didn't see the movie, but I thought she had a pretty cute butt in the preview...
I'm very happy to see we're all on the same page.
In a related bit of humor...I ended up on IMDb today looking for zany recommendations, after Rotten Tomatoes suggested The Godfather Trilogy for those who like the 40 year old Virgin.
Not to say anything bad about The Godfather... I'm just saying it's not the first thing that pops into my head while I'm watching Steve Carell get his chest waxed.
booty- cute butt? that thing needed a u-haul to cart it around!
eewwwww a terrible picture of a huge butt with dimples all over it is plaguing my head. get it out!!!!
mcj- godfather trilogy??? I would definitely say if you like The 40 yr old virgin, then you'll like Beaches.
WTF?
I don't remember her butt being that gross from the preview... but your description is quite... vivid. ech.
