Netflix is finally shipping me Worst Witch. Then when I'm excited that next we'll get the first of the 7-Up series, they grab Minority Report from the middle of the queue instead!? WTF is up with them?!?

one month passes...

Being a Netflix customer is like a BATTLE to make sure they don't make a profit from you.

They make so much money from Jaymc, they have a picture of him in their entrance hall.

― [jailhouse tattoo] (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 00:16 (twenty years ago)

I think Palindromes is arriving tomorrow.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

I just watched Rockers. Fun!

"Being a Netflix customer is like a BATTLE to make sure they don't make a profit from you."

They've FIXED the fight though! They've totally capped my rentals at 24-27 a month. Motherfuckers.

What did everyone decide to do with the Netflix Settlement thing btw. I am debating that now.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 00:52 (twenty years ago)

What was that again? I totally forgot about it. I've had no complaints about them.

I can't remember who any of the people in my friends list are.

― Jeff-Beetle (Jeff), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 03:19 (twenty years ago)

if there's someone named jesse on your list, that's me

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 03:25 (twenty years ago)

(i mean, unless you know other jesses)

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 03:26 (twenty years ago)

I've had two Jesses! This is good, I can edit the name to note who people are.

― Jeff-Beetle (Jeff), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 03:29 (twenty years ago)

I'm "Adam Levine".
Not this one, though we have the same laptop (actually, mine is newer)

― [jailhouse tattoo] (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 03:31 (twenty years ago)

What movie do you suppose that Adam Levine is watching on his lap top?

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 03:37 (twenty years ago)

PZO: What is your favorite line from a movie?
Adam: Umm..favorite line from a movie. Favorite line from a movie is...it can't be dirty, can it?
PZO: If you want it to be.
Adam: How about..."Don't fuck with the Jesus."
PZO: What movie is that from?
Adam: The Big Lebowski.
PZO: Ah, that seems to be a common movie among musicians.
Adam: But you know what, I just realized that is so cliche for me to do that. No, forget that. Let me think of a better one. Umm..how about... What's a line from Liar Liar? Like one line. Alright, I know
this is annoying.
PZO: No, it's fine.
Adam: A really funny one. These are dificult questions. Ferris Bueller? No, 'cause everyone quotes The Big Lebowski.
What about---sorry, this is so annoying.
PZO: Don't worry about it.
Adam: How about.... what's my favorite movie of all time? That's a good question. Okay, "I think Annette's tits are getting bigger." "Yeah, I noticed the A and E started to bend around the sides."
PZO: What's that from?
Adam: That's from Stand By Me.

I am Alex and I am probably at the top of your friend's list unless someone else has rated more than 3,000 movies (it's slow at work at sometime.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 03:48 (twenty years ago)

Jeff, I'm on your list. I like your 2 cents. Netflix wants to know if I want to recommend either the Chuck Jones documentary or Ikuru to you. Hmmm.

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 03:59 (twenty years ago)

are you jacki m?

― Jeff-Beetle (Jeff), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 04:02 (twenty years ago)

yep. I'm a lightweight for ratings, not even 200 yet :(

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 04:06 (twenty years ago)

I wish I could get a rss feed of everytime someone writes a 2 cents, or rates something highly in my friends.

― Jeff-Beetle (Jeff), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 04:22 (twenty years ago)

That would be good! I'd just like to see the friends ratings in the info pop-up, so I don't have to click through to see who thought what.

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 04:25 (twenty years ago)

The other Adam is super cute!

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 21:27 (twenty years ago)

Not that our Adam isn't, but you know.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 21:27 (twenty years ago)

I have a beard now.

― [jailhouse tattoo] (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 21:29 (twenty years ago)

It itches.

― [jailhouse tattoo] (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 21:29 (twenty years ago)

That hinders "super cuteness," generally, but I'd have to see it on you to really decide.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 21:30 (twenty years ago)

It's a pretty darling beard.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

Is it like Tobey Maguire in Ride with the Devil or more like George Clooney when he goes scruffy?

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

Haha neither. It's like really thick stubble right now.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 21:40 (twenty years ago)

...not the Ethan Hawke, though, right?

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

Haha oh god no.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 21:42 (twenty years ago)

Adam I see you added "No Maps for These Territories"... You are in for a treat. Netflix is taking their time on turnaround this month.

A friend of mine as Greencine and got the Turkish "E.T.". Netflix does not have this movie. I do not fault them for this.

― Polysix Bad Battery (cprek), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 21:53 (twenty years ago)

how do you get netflix friends? I haven't got any.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 22:02 (twenty years ago)

Invite them!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 22:04 (twenty years ago)

Or ask them to invite you.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 22:05 (twenty years ago)

oh! Well invite me! The only people I know who use Netflix are ILXors!

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 22:07 (twenty years ago)

Allyzay - I just sent you an invite. And you too Alex sF.

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 22:13 (twenty years ago)

I have accepted your invitation.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 22:14 (twenty years ago)

Yay movies! We've had the complete Dangermouse at home for too long.

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 22:22 (twenty years ago)

Ally I sent you an invite too.

I also just noticed that my parents have rented "Rockers," presumably from seeing it on my list. Interesting. My mom called me after watching "Twilight of the Ice Nymphs" wanting to know who the hell was Guy Maddin and wtf was going on in his movies.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 22:23 (twenty years ago)

You will note, my queue is full of crap!

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 22:24 (twenty years ago)

Cprek I enjoy your recommendations very much. Architectures is so good I want to buy it!

I got "No Maps.." because I am a huge fan of Bruce Sterling. I bet he's in it for like a minute.

― [jailhouse tattoo] (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 22:53 (twenty years ago)

I have a beard now.

adam, no

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 03:13 (twenty years ago)

that's right. Try and do something about it.

― [jailhouse tattoo] (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 03:41 (twenty years ago)

why u brake heart ?

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 12:43 (twenty years ago)

ally - your aesthetic intrigues me

― [jailhouse tattoo] (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 19:37 (twenty years ago)

Are you...a frat boy?

― [jailhouse tattoo] (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 19:37 (twenty years ago)

Is it just me, or has service gotten worse at Netflix? I just restarted my membership after a couple of years off, and I still haven't gotten the last of my initial three picks after five days of waiting (and it's not like it was that obscure a pick-- Ozu's Ohayo). The last two times I was a member it seemed like shipping was a lot faster-- when they told me they'd shipped something I'd usually get it the next day. On the plus side, I've got 300+ movies in my queue and they're supposedly all available "Now" except for one that's on "Short Wait". Previously, a lot of the more obscure/fringy items I selected would be on wait list for a while before they'd become available. But I'm bummed by the stuff that they've stopped carrying altogether-- no Last Year at Marienbad, no Sunrise, no Cannibal Holocaust...
