Getglue.com - Check into entertainment

What it is?

getglue.com is an online entertainment site that lets you check into various entertainment activites. The activities include watching a TV show (currently less no. of Indian shows), watching a movie, reading a book or even thinking on a topic. The idea of 'checking in' was more like a waste of time, but getglue.com managed to turn it as fun filled as possible. You can have your facebook and twitter friends followed and you could follow them too.

What's so fun in it?

There are actually 3 elements of fun I would like discuss. They are Stickers, Stream and Recommendations.

Stickers

The awesome feature that made getglue.com stand out from other movie-tainment sites is the Stickers(May be that's why they call getglue or getglued!!). Stickers are unlocked by the user when he/she checks into a special or sponsored entry. Stickers are sometimes seasonal and can be unlocked only when you check in at that particular time.

Sticker I got when i checked in to 'The Artist'

The more cooler thing is that you get physical copies of the stickers you unlocked mailed to your address when you have unlocked 20 stickers.

Stream

The stream is the home tab of the website and here you can see all activities done by your friends and users are following. In the stream, we can comment and vote on others' comments. The layout is so simple and depict a conversational view which is very welcome.

Reccomendations

Although other websites provide their users with recommendations, getglue.com provide the recommendations classified like Recommendations for you, Recommended new releases, Recommended new DVD releases. And to be frank, the algorithm is working pretty good and the recommendations are way closer than others.

Pages

The pages on every title on getglue.com has a pretty good structure. The page has the statistics, the official trailer, social links, even reviews from rottentomatoes.com and IMDb link, a cool like and favourite button. One thing to be noted here is that it even adds an 'UNLIKE' or 'NOT FOR ME' button which is very brave and newest feature.

Titanic in 3D

The 100th anniversary of the maiden voyage of RMS Titanic will see the re- release of the epic adventure film Titanic but differently in a three dimensional way with the water entering right into our eyes.

The movie starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as a lead pair. The movie Titanic  was directed by James Cameron and was produced jointly by himself and Jon Landau. The movie got ravishing positive reviews from the critics in all parts of the world. 

The movie was nominated for fourteen Academy awards and bagged eleven of it including Best Film, Best Director. The list includes Best Cinematography,Best Costume Designer, Best Sound, Best Visual Effects, Best art Direction ,Best Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best original Dramatic Score, Best Original Song.

The Film was made on a whopping budget of $200 million. The movie grossed  $1,843,201,268 from all parts of the world.

With 3D in play, the last hour of the movie should especially be perfect for viewers as the sinking of the ship starts as soon as the Titanic hits an Iceberg and the water slowly enters into the ship. The ship gets slowly immersed under the sea and in the epic climax where the ship gets raised by 90 degrees in the air and breaks into two halves  would be the scenes, worth watching in the 3D format.

James Cameron who is  keen on every move he makes for the movie is the only reason for the grand success of the movie . He had mentioned in an interview that he was always by the side of the Technicians who were converting the 2D scenes  into 3D which many of the Directors normally won't do. He also mentioned that 3D conversion of many films is done by the Film technicians without the presence of the corresponding  movie Directors.

So readers who are keen for a disastrous ride in the RMS Titanic wait until 5th April this year and get ready to go under the Atlantic.
