Great link bait for Facebook. If you allow image uploads so people can replace an actors face with another, I can see it catching on (unless I'm completely missing the point). What is your plan with this?
I wrote it as a small game for people to see how well they know modern movie industry. Which actors work better with which directors and genres. Poster generation was just a nifty thing to make it look cuter. Meat of the project is an algorithm determining success of each movie in terms of rating/box office.
I did contemplate adding ability to upload own images (not photos as you described), but that has a problem of content moderation. Don't want to see pornography/gore/etc be used just for the shock value.
Thanks for this idea about Facebook, i may as well consider adding such feature.
funny project, it's like a small videogame, but the algorithm is cryptic. Maybe a little bit of transparency could help enjoy it... like adding some custom advices to the end of the game.
I'll add several tips describing what user should be shooting for.
Like, for example - there's no such thing as one-genre-movie (at least based on IMDB stats). It's much better to try and pick at least several genres that might work for your movie.
