I’m a sucker for blurbs on movie rentals that I haven’t really heard anything about. If something says “Fantastic! A wild ride” by even some anonymous John Doe sort of reviewer, I’m prone to being wooed in by the review snippet and I’ll rent the movie. After I’ve watched some movies though using that method as a guideline however I tend to end up thinking “that reviewer must be on crack”, but I don’t end up changing my ways. There are two people who may be reading this blog (seriously people, get outside and get a breath of fresh air or something, it’s much more beneficial) that I know of who are probably nodding their heads right now. Nav is one of them.
Enter Blurb Racket! This site takes the review snippets and puts them back into context. Now if I could access that site while choosing movies I would probably be a bit more careful in my movie choice. Or maybe I wouldn’t. That Spanish flick had R all over it so perhaps I should just remember to *think*…
Pffft, yeah right!
