In looking around at the IMDb and still despising it's hideous new format(those damn morons! Hatred), I zeroed in on something I hadn't caught before.  I've used the plot keyword function countless times, but tonight I noticed the odd sampling, almost haiku-like blurb of keywords that burp up for any given title.  Taken together they can form cryptic and tantalizingly macabre imagery.

The one that caught my eye last was for Lenzi's ode to humanity, CANNIBAL FEROX.
The keyword list that pops up is:
  Young Boy / Video Nasty / Cheating On Test / Amazon / Impalement
What a wonderfully sordid mix!

Anyone else notice any disorienting keyword soups for movies they've checked out?

I ran across this a few times too (and yes, I am also trying to get used to the new IMDB format).  Wish I could remember the movie, but the keywords were some violence and sex terms, along with "pudding" or "yogurt" and "muscle car" or something to that effect.  It made me laugh out loud at the time.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
