According to gigaom.com, here's what up:
" Ever wanted to know what Claire Underwood, the wife of the ruthless congressman in Netflix’s political drama House of Cards likes to watch on TV? Now you can: Netflix has started to use fictional characters from some of its original programming to recommend new movies and TV sows to its members.
Users are reporting that rows of recommendations titled “Watched by Claire Underwood,” “Watched by Bojack Horseman” or “Watched by Pennsatucky” have popped up in their Netflix apps. The latter, which is a Christian fundamentalist character in Netflix’s Orange is the New Black, likes to watchJesus Camp, Saved and Angels & Demons, whereas Claire Underwood prefers shows like The Good Wife and Damages.
Netflix has said in the past that it spends $150 million on content recommendations every year. I’d guess that not a whole lot of that money will go to the company’s new curator Bojack Horseman (for the uninitiated, it’s Bojack is a talking horse in an animated Netflix series by the same name), but it’s still a fun easter egg that helps Netflix to highlight both its originals and some of its catalog titles."
For Blog #7, curate a Netflix recommendation list for a character in Macbeth. What movies or television shows would he or she recommend? Choose 5-6 recommendations and provide a (paragraph) justification for each. Your justification should provide a basic summary of the content and why your character would choose it (What might it reveal about him or her? What should we now understand about your character because of his or her recommendations?)
Think about the motifs we've tracked:
- “Fair is foul and foul is fair” → Appearance vs. reality, hiding behind masks
- Ambition - Masculinity - Blood - Supernatural
- Prophecies
Alternate ideas for this post: create an Amazon Wish List or create a Spotify playlist; the expectations/directions are the same!
*I highly recommend House of Cards- it's sooo Shakespeare*
