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.

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?

Jackass:The Movie

Teen Wolf

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

I want to watch "Jack the Bear" again.

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.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 18 August 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

My unique favs:

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

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)

Dean and I both HATE Ordinary People.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:27 (twenty years ago)

We have one queue for me, my wife and daughter, so I get all the credit and none of the blame, FYI.

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:27 (twenty years ago)

I just added you, Rock Hardy!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

I think my ratings are not terribly reliable. I occasionally rate things in an attempt to skew Netflix into recommending me things I might like. This does not explain why Punch Drunk Love is rated five stars, though.

― The Ghost of Dean Gulberry (dr g), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

wrong email adderss, invite me at jheath at gerousia dot com

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:31 (twenty years ago)

Can I ask a newbie Netflix question:

I just joined, signed up, etc, and created a queue of movies I'd like. Now, nothing's arrived so far - do I have so somehow submit my list, or will they just send the top 2 movies (I'm doing 2 at a time) from my list?

― paulhw (paulhw), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:35 (twenty years ago)

Is this your way of saying that you LOVE Ordinary People?

I always change my ratings, but everyone knows I'm fickle so it doesn't matter. I think the 5 star system is flawed anyway.

xp they will send the top 2 from your list

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:35 (twenty years ago)

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:39 (twenty years ago)

My unique favorites list is huge. I guess that's because I rate everything I like as a 5 and everything I don't like as a 1.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Thursday, 18 August 2005 20:39 (twenty years ago)
