Snatch was great. One of my friends didn't like it, but he's got an odd taste in movies sometimes.

Do you guys ever frequent MovieLens? It's a movie recommendation site. Rate movies you've seen (good and bad, 5 star scale) and it'll recommend movies based on what other people have rated, and also predict ratings.

You can set up groups, so a whole bunch of you can see something that you all should like.

It's a lot of fun. I haven't tried getting any recommendations from it lately, but every time I update my ratings, it's got me pegged most of the time. Eerie.

Ellen and I are going to try out the group recommendation option for shits and giggles and see how well it works.

The biggest problem I have with it is that LOTS of the recommendations are for foreign movies. Not that this is a bad thing -- except that I can't rent them anywhere out here. Culture and diversity are two things that don't really make it out here.

By the by, Pecker is a hilarious, if disturbing, movie.
