<p>Looked at our iTunes and what did we see? Genius enabled for Movies and TV. For those playing along at home, Apple first <a href="http://www.imore.com/2009/03/11/itunes-81-coming-faster-geniusy-rip-itunes/">pre-announced</a> this feature before making iTunes 8.1 available for download, then removed it just moments before the download went live, then said it <a href="http://www.imore.com/2009/03/12/apple-pulled-genius-movies-tv-shows-itunes-81/">wasn't quite ready</a>, and now has unleashed it on the world.</p>

<p>Sorta. Not all iTunes-purchased videos seem to generate Genius results yet, and some produce... non-intuitive recommendations to say the least. Those of you who have ripped your own, legally purchased DVDs to your collection under the principles of fair use might have a particularly hard time finding matches if you haven't undertaken the arduous task of entering all the meta data, and even then...</p>

<p>So, feel free to share your Genius Video results in the comments, the funnier, the better. Eagle Eye returning Coyote Ugly for you to?</p>

UPDATED: <a href="http://www.macworld.com/article/139367/2009/03/genius_video.html">Macworld</a> put in a call to Apple to find some answers, and find them they did:

<blockquote>
  "The feature isn't live yet, but it will be in the coming days."

<p>ORIGINAL: I <a href="http://twitter.com/reneritchie/status/1313964404">asked about this last night on Twitter</a>, and now <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2009/03/12/genius-feature-for-tv-and-movies-pulled-from-itunes-8-1/">MacRumors</a> is confirming it. It looks like Apple pulled the Genius Sidebar from Movies and TV Shows just prior to launch. Since it was <a href="http://www.imore.com/2009/03/11/itunes-81-coming-faster-geniusy-rip-itunes/">advertised on Apple's website</a> (now revised to exclude it) and the <a href="http://www.imore.com/2009/03/11/itunes-81-front-row-217-software-update/">release notes themselves</a>, it certainly appears to be a hasty reversal on Apple's part.</p>

<p>Was it not working? Returning <em>Elektra</em> as a recommended addition to your <em>Batman Begins/Dark Knight</em> collection? Choking on its own "reality show" library?</p>

<p>More as this develops...</p>
