Film Gator
Your New Best Friend
Let’s face it, everyone likes to be understood and we all like to be
listened to. We love it when people buy us birthday presents that they
know we’ll like. It’s great when your mate orders you a drink from the
bar, already knowing your favorite tipple, and even better when he
recognizes when you’ve had enough and sends you home. Even Yoko Ono
figured it out when she said “at least I had that, one guy who
understood me.”
So when it comes to movie selection, it helps when someone has your
back. Finland’s Film Gator (not to be confused with Burt “The Gator”
Reynolds) takes what you’ve seen, and what you thought of it, and uses
a special algorithm, combined with a recommendation search engine, to
tell you what you might like in the future. This takes a lot of the
hassle out of movie selection (no more reading the back of DVD covers,
hoping for inspiration), and the more you tell Film Gator about your
fancy for say, gratuitous violence and animated mermaids, and dislike
for Film Noir and sassy teen musicals, the more it helps you to help
yourself.
