Is anyone doing movie recs based on deep learning + the individual frames in each movie? I think that could be an interesting way to learn nuanced things like "you like heist movies with mixed gender casts" or "you hate action movies that have too many gunfights."

I worked on a movie site at one point. The big insight was that movies aren’t like books - most ppl agree on which movies are ‘good’ vs ‘bad,’ and most ppl just want to watch ‘good’ movies.

I.e. if you liked Shawshank Redemption, doesn’t mean you want to watch B movies about being in prison. It means you want to watch other good movies, even if they are completely unrelated.

Once you start filtering based on ‘good’ movies, you realize the problem isn’t discovery - it’s that the quantity of good movies is very low.

The other problem is that movie scores (like IMDb, 1-10 scale) are tough to read. The worst movies gets a ~3.x and the best movie gets a ~9.3. So a 7.8 sounds good but it’s actually awful.
