Add me, then!

George Washington is great.

Yeah, I'm sure those are good films. I'll get back to them.

add me, Milo!

Dean Gulberry sez about the friends option "It's a great, free new feature from Netflix that gives us both yet another way to discover great movies".

Tell us more, Dean!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:47 (twenty years ago)

OMG don't watch Starksy and Hutch!!!!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:48 (twenty years ago)

OK!!!!

― The Ghost of Dean Gulberry (dr g), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:49 (twenty years ago)

Like, I'm doing you a favo(u)r. It's really not good in a whole new way!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:50 (twenty years ago)

It's kind of fun to hate.

― The Ghost of Dean Gulberry (dr g), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:51 (twenty years ago)

Invitation on its way...

I like George Washington a lot. DGG's best so far (although Undertow was underrated, lots of good stuff in that).

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:51 (twenty years ago)

Adam, our netflix list isn't that interesting. It's just all of the Homicide: Life on the Streets episodes, at least through season 6.

― Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:53 (twenty years ago)

gypsy, I accepted your invite but you're not showing up!

xp Kittens, mine was like that too! Now I finished Season 5, I am on to other things. Alex In SF's list looks like that and he is still my netflix and real life friend!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:55 (twenty years ago)

At home:

1 The Brown Bunny
2 Scum (Theatrical Version)
3 My Best Fiend: Klaus Kinski

Top of list:

Morgan!
Dog Soldiers
Saturday Night and Sunday Morning

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

Dean, your list is interesting but it sort of makes me feel ill. Will you really have enough time to watch all of that Dougie Howser?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:57 (twenty years ago)

It's just a collection of things I'd like to see, Adam. It's not my FOUR YEAR PLAN FOR DVD RENTAL.

― The Ghost of Dean Gulberry (dr g), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:59 (twenty years ago)

I don't understand. Why would you do that? That's crazy.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:00 (twenty years ago)

crazy

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:00 (twenty years ago)

It still says "waiting for reply"...the system is probably poxy fuled for the moment. I need to add The Brown Bunny. I forgot that had come out.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:01 (twenty years ago)

You're saying I shouldn't rely on this list? That it is not an accurate picture of anything?

Why would you do that?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:01 (twenty years ago)

2031 rated movies, eh? Have you been outside, Adam?

― The Ghost of Dean Gulberry (dr g), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

Top of Adam's Queue:

Made in Britain (1982)

Trevor (Tim Roth) is a teenage Skinhead. Caught smashing the windows of a Pakistani-owned shop, he's sent to an assessment center by social worker Harry (Eric Richard), who discovers that Trevor is highly articulate and intelligent. But when he escapes, steals cars and goes berserk, can Harry still save him? Alan Clarke directs this made-for-TV movie, which marks Roth's screen debut.

― The Ghost of Dean Gulberry (dr g), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

I was having a rating race with Alex in SF. He is up to 2337, but he is on 5 movies at a time.

xp yeah! wicked

I'm on a BIG Alan Clarke trip at the moment.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:03 (twenty years ago)

Adam what movie do we have out?

I want more Netflix friends too. it's "chris@..."

― Tinman: Set to Self-Destruct (cprek), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:05 (twenty years ago)

Scum (Theatrical Version) (1979)

Raw, violent and shocking, Scum is a compelling story set in a contemporary reform school. It tells the life in an institution run by violence and brutality rather than reason, where the boy who can fight his way to the top of the heap and reign as "daddy" will gain the respect of the inmates and screws alike. Ray Winstone stars as Carlin, the one man prepared to struggle against all odds to be top dog in a system intent on breaking him.

xp My best fiend!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:05 (twenty years ago)

Netflix keeps recommending Highlander movies/TV shows. I don't know why.

― Tinman: Set to Self-Destruct (cprek), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:06 (twenty years ago)

Is anyone Netflix friends with Netflix critic James Rocchi?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:06 (twenty years ago)

Dean Gulberry's UNIQUE FAVORITES

Jackass:The Movie
Mr. Show
Big
Teen Wolf

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:11 (twenty years ago)

I want to watch "Jack the Bear" again.

― The Ghost of Dean Gulberry (dr g), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

I want to watch "The Bear" again.

― Tinman: Set to Self-Destruct (cprek), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

I want to watch "Brother Bear" again.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

'tis not even my Netflix account. I just pilfer space on my parents account and pick them up at their house.

"The Bear" made me bawl as a kid. I couldn't handle movies where an animal lost a parent.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

Everybody has Punch Drunk Love and Cremaster 3 in their unique favorites.

EXCEPT Rosemary, who only watches musicals and old british tv shows.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

I want to watch "The Bear" again.

Doesn't the little bear trip out on mushrooms in that movie?

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:25 (twenty years ago)

Critical Disagreement!
Correct Answer! Adam rated 'Existenz' 2 stars, and Roger Ebert gave it 4.0 stars

― The Ghost of Dean Gulberry (dr g), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:26 (twenty years ago)

"Alex In SF's list looks like that and he is still my netflix and real life friend!"

My Netflix list is CONSIDERABLY more than just Homicide episodes! I don't have very many Netflix friends though.

My unique favs:

Joe
The Stuff
New York, New York
All or Nothing
Across 110th Street

Star 80
Tatooed Life

And many more!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:40 (twenty years ago)

Yes "The Bear" has a psychedelic sequence.

I don't know my unique favorites...

― Tinman: Set to Self-Destruct (cprek), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:44 (twenty years ago)

BTW I really really liked Scum! I didn't realize it was out on DVD!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

better rate it then.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:12 (twenty years ago)

I just did!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:14 (twenty years ago)

And yes, I took some poetic licence in describing your list, but that was merely to encourage Nick and Sarah to add me as their friend.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:17 (twenty years ago)

As much as I occassionally badmouth Netflix for failing to get me movies quickly enough I can't imagine actually switching to another service. I've rated 2,500 or so movies and have a queue of almost 200 films. It would be lot of work to transfer that to a new service.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:19 (twenty years ago)

What kind of delays have you experienced?

― The Ghost of Dean Gulberry (dr g), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

I am attempting to do this Netflix Friends thing -- send me invites at the address below, kay?

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

I have two queues, one I just keep for criterion releases, the other one is hovering just below 500 films.

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:22 (twenty years ago)

also, everyone invite me, jeff at gerousia dot com

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:22 (twenty years ago)

"What kind of delays have you experienced?"

It tends to take them a couple of days (esp. on Mondays and Tuesdays) for them to get their shit together and send me films. It usually results in all five of my movies getting sent to me on Wednesday and Thursday and then (unless I watch my movies very very quickly on Wednesday and Thursday night) I don't get anything else until next Wednesday/Thursday. This is a relatively recent occurrence actually (well it's been happening for five months) as they used to send all my movies next day regardless of what day of the week it was.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:25 (twenty years ago)
