OneBox and Google Movies (Believes in the Safety of Critics!)
The other day I was searching for Iron Man on Google to read its reviews and know why the hell people are so crazy about yet another super-hero movie, when Google actually gave me the uber-cool One Box result showing the over all rating and a link to various reviews by movie critics. Damn, sometimes I feel Google has somehow implanted a chip in me to read my mind, how else would a website know exactly what I was looking for?
Anyway, I clicked on the reviews link and I found that Google had actually complied all of them on one page. Awesome! But what made my day (along with giving me a real good laugh) was another one of those “Easter Eggs” (not exactly) kinda thing that Google leaves around to amuse its users. Look for yourself:
The page actually says, “The selection and placement of reviews on this page were determined automatically by a computer program. No movie critics were harmed or even used in the making of this page.” LOL.
Visit Google Movies in India (www.google.co.in/movies) to search for show timings and reviews (not yet available on the Indian portal. For Hollywood flicks, you can try google.com/movies) or just type in the movie name in the regular ol’ search box and let Google read your brain and display the One Box result.
