Google Adds Movie Ratings, Times, Reviews
Mike Skweir writes " I was going to take my daughter to the movies this afternoon and I
wanted to find out more about the movie 'Kicking & Screaming'... so I Googled
it. To my surprise the following
response occurred . When I followed the
link, it actually gave me several reviews, movie ratings and the ability to
search for a theatre in my area." Once you've entered your zip code, it will also tell you what movies are playing in your area.
google knows all. do not question.
I.E. at the very least, have one of those "type the word in the graphic" things.
On a tangential note, the war between spambots to read those things and websites to obfuscate them is starting to lead to a lot of websites that are asking me to find the hideously distorted numbers in completely unintelligible scribble.
Eventually, as spambots get smarter and smarter, they're going to start having to retain the services of that guy who draws "Where's Waldo": "There are six numbers hiding in the magical forest. Can you find them all?"
"Beware he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he deems himself your master."

Yeah, but how often does *that* happen?
-- Don't Tase me, bro!
How many of the H2G2 reviews were bought? I saw the movie this afternoon and can't see how anyone at Yahoo! or wherever could give it an 'A' (yet there were several such reviews).
I completely agree... how could anyone possibly have a different opinion to you?
your google id WILL be your social security number. google's going to acquire the social security administration next.
they already did.
its called Gmail.
What ? Me, worry ?
This was covered on slashdot in like, 1970 when it first happened...

No movie critics were harmed or even used in the making of this page. Haha, gotta love their sense of humor
Sigs are for Terrorists.
That's why I also google a few other random zip codes along with my own, just to keep them guessing.
