Title: Know anything that can do this?
Post by: SHAFTR on October 30, 2003, 12:13:09 AM
I spend much time trying to decide what movie to watch.  Is there a DVD catalogue program (similiar to DVDProfiler) that has a random feature.  It will select a DVD at random to suggest for viewing.

I can never decide, same thing with cds.

imdb has a random movie thing, but you usually get crap.

How about numbering your DVDs with numbers, then throwing dice to decide which to watch... the first number would have to be the number of dice you have... like if you have 3 dice, don't start with 1 or 2, because you'll never land on those... so start 3-18 (18 is the maximum you can have with 3 dice... 6+6+6=18)... then roll the dice, add up the points, and watch the movie corresponding to that number...

yes, an easy, cheap, and non-platform-specific way to handle it... :)
