Scott reported on his movie-recommender:

Was only allowed to use 1-grams, so things like "James and the Giant Peach" associated with "James Bond".
Older movies had more dates, and longer descriptions overall. Movies from this year usually had only the marketing tagline.
Had tried to use genres as a kind of weight boost, but it was totally unnecessary---genres could be nearly perfectly derived from descriptions.
