The Internet has brought all forms of movie trivia to new heights (or lows). Whereas they once said that TV would kill the movies, the Internet has helped bring movies alive in new ways. From when to peek to when to pee - the Internet tells you all about the cinema.
Sure you can visit the Internet Movie Data Base and learn about movies, but they won't tell you when you can miss a moment of a movie! An entire new web site has been created to tell you when it's safe to run for a bathroom break during this summer's blockbuster movies. RunPee.com, currently in beta, is a user-generated site that relies on filmgoers to tell each other the exact best moment to leave the movie theater and run and pee.
If that's not enough about movies, check out these sites too:
A friend, not me but my friend, wants to know if Jessica Biel has ever been naked in a movie?
If you need to know when an actor or actress appears naked in a movie then you can visit MrSkin.com - 18 and older only (obviously). The founder, Jim McBride, started taping movies in the 1970s with a BetaMax and built up a collection of nude scenes. Then he started categorizing them and then he became a human party trick as guys would always come up to him and say, “Has such and such been naked?” and he would reply “Oh yeah, 42 minutes into this movie.” The Internet was a natural way to share all this "knowledge."
Six Degrees of Separation
Back in 1994 Kevin Bacon commented that he had worked with everybody in Hollywood or someone who's worked with them. From that one comment came a trivia game based on the concept of the small world phenomenon and rests on the assumption that any actor can be linked through his or her film roles to actor Kevin Bacon within six steps. You can see this in action at The Oracle of Bacon which allows you to enter the name of a movie star and see their connection to Kevin Bacon. For example, Lucy Lawless has a Bacon number of 2 because Lucy Lawless was in Bedtime Stories with Arne Starr who was in Frost/Nixon with Kevin Bacon.
Should my kids watch the movie?
Now at the other end of the spectrum from Jim McBride is kids-in-mind.com which provides parents with objective and complete information about a film's content so that they can decide, based on their own value system, whether they should watch a movie with or without their kids. They assign each film three distinct, category-specific ratings: one for SEX & NUDITY, one for VIOLENCE & GORE and one for PROFANITY. Each rating is on a scale of zero to ten, depending on quantity (more F-words, for instance, will mean a higher Profanity rating, and so on) as well as context (especially when it comes to the categories of sex, nudity, violence and gore, since they are not as easily quantifiable as profanity). It's a good site for parents, though I have to admit that I am having trouble with the idea that a giant fake squid hugging and kissing Ben Stiller counts as sex - but that's the nature of the site, everybody decides for themselves!
