Netflix

[Alice]

I just signed up for it.

Hey... at least I'm posting.

And thank you, that was delicious.

[Gamplayerx]

While I had Netflix, I found them to be fine.  But then the movies were just piling up and we were never watching them, so I cancelled it.  It seems I need the pressure of late fees in order to watch dvds.

[Alice]

Piling up?  How many did you take out at a time?

[Gamplayerx]

4.

[Dry then Catch]

I have Blockbuster Total Access

They are roughly the same price.  Blockbuster gives you access to the store as well as the internet queue.  This is a major bonus, as sometimes I don't want to wait or others don't want to see my odd movies.  However, Netflix does have a wider selection of semi-obscure films.  Or if they don't have the film, they at least recognize it and will save it if they ever do.  SEE example Battle Royale or Inland Empire. 

I have been waiting forever to get Season 1 of Wondershozen from Blockbuster, but there is a long queue...

[Alice]

Anybody have any good suggestions?

[Alice]

Because I want the last episode of Six Feet Under, Netflix is recommending all these gay movies for me to watch.  Because I like a show with a gay character - I must want to watch as many gay movies as possible. 

I'm not so sure I agree with some of their recommendations based on other films.  Another example:

Three Stooges: Dizzy Doctors

Recommended because you enjoyed: Dawn of the Dead, Dirty Dozen



WTF?  Did they recommend that because I like movies that have two D words in them?

[Bishamonten]

Devil's Backbone
Infernal Affairs
Twilight Samurai

Yes, be my Netflix buddy.  I already am buddies with Jessie and her manwhore.

[Alice]

This is kind of addictive.

Beefy, I sent you an invite to join my friends page!

[Alice]

Also, I really like that you can look through your friend's queues.

[Jessie]

When I first got Netflix, I rated a lot of movies.  That's why I have an insane amount of movies in my queue.

Who else is on there that I'm not Netflix friends with?  Dazie?

[Jessie]

Look, a handy dandy link to be my friend!   http://www.netflix.com/BeMyFriend/PMHltZ57Ke0hIHYerlWI

I accepted.  Now you can see all of the smut I have in my queue.

  Done.  That gives me 2 friends.  You and Marixis.  Except I think I can't see his list.  Hrm.

Too bad you can't put stuff in your friends' queues. Imagine the possibilities.

You'd all be getting a lot of Ranma 1/2.

Damn, found it too late.

Maybe I'll convert to Netflix just to hang with the cool kids.

[Jessie]

Everybody's doing it.  Try it for free, til you get hooked, then they'll start making you pay.

[Alice]

It's kinda cool/creepy that you can see what movies your friends currently have.

I recommend Bully too.  I think you would really like it.

[Bishamonten]

Hated Bully.

I have hated everything by Larry Clark and hope he dies in a fire.

That's how I feel about Gus Van Sant.

I felt disgusted and mesmerized at the same time.  I felt I had a good visceral idea of what it was like to be an aimless, rootless Floridaaaa teen in a humid land.  It was too gratuitious and spottily acted, but it left enough of an impression on me to recommend.  It was all in all a story of nihilism and the deadening effect our suburban and godless exisistance leads to.  And its a true story.

Bully was a rough watch.  I'm not a big Larry Clark fan myself.  I was in the minority that felt Kids was exploitative.  In a bad way.  Which is weird for me, because I like exploitation.

[Beefy]

I can never fully hate Gus Van Sant because of Drugstore Cowboy.  Good Will Hunting was a good flick, too.

I liked Kids.

I liked Good Will Hunting, and I've never seen Drugstore Cowboy.  I can't stand the rest of the crap of his I've seen.  Something about that man makes me want to punch him.

[Alice]

I can't believe they have $6 movies.  I think I'm going to treat myself every 2 weeks and buy one.

This time it's High Tension.  I'm not sure what next one's will be.

A woman with good taste right here, y'all.

Do you ever not want to see a movie, but Netflix recommends it constantly - so you just decide... screw it?  And put it in your queue?

[Gamplayerx]

I'm scared to ask, but what is Plump Fiction?

[Jessie]

The story of ricky is fucking fantastic.

[dazie]

I just put all 4 seasons of "The Pretender" on my Netflix queue.  Yay!

[Jessie]

Frankenhooker is en route to my house.

[swolt]

I'm scared to ask, but what is Plump Fiction?

I don't know. I added to my list like a year ago and I don't remember why. In fact I don't remember why I added half of those movies.
