AppleTV Doesn’t Understand Men

So there I am today, taking a break from designing some movie poster custom birth announcements for BoxOfficeBaby.com, and I decide to turn on AppleTV. I like to catch up on all the latest trailers, and it’s “Trailer Tuesday” every week here in the house (well, for me at least).

 

This time, I was watching some trailers for some old movies, and I revisited my youth by watching the one for Rocky IV. Here’s the screen that you see if you want to rent or buy the movie:

At the bottom, it lists some movies that it thinks I might like based on what others watched. Let’s review:

Karate Kid 1 & 2 - check.
The Natural - check.
Field of Dreams - maybe.
Rocky II - check.
Harry Potter - I guess.

Little Women? WTF? Are you kidding me? Here’s the zoomed-in proof:

Show me one guy that rented Rocky IV and also rented Little Women. I’ve never seen it, nor do I have any desire to see it. They are neither little nor are they women.

 

Sorry, AppleTV. Looks like your recommendation system may need some tweaking.
