Thursday, October 5, 2006

Netflix is currently offering $1 million to anyone who can improve its personal movie recommendations system. What do you think?

George Muybridge,
Pest Control
"I thought Jurassic Park was pretty good. Did I win?"

Warren Edison,
Hammock Maker
"I think instead they should take that million and make a movie that everybody likes, with Billy Crystal and a really cute puppy and lots of violence. Or mermaids. One or the other."

Esther Melies,
Bicycle Messenger
"This is just like the famous MacArthur Genius Grant, except, the MacArthur Genius Grant doesn’t benefit mankind in any way."
