Well the website is kind of useless, but it does suck me in. I love reading crazy reviews. The only thing that would make it better is if they also included Airbnb reviews. The second review I read was a customer complaining about profanity in a movie and then writing out all the examples. Who has time for that?

I love this. The reviews' word play tops MacBeth in my book.

Shit like this is why Amazon reviews are now behind a login wall for everyone.

how did you scrape all the reviews?

- i saw your other comment that talks about using an open source dataset but i had to ask - how would you actually go about loading reviews if you really wanted to - what kind of system would you need to work around the captcha and stuff
