Netflix friends - Page 4

Motorboat Cruiser · 06-30-2006, 02:46 PM

As soon as I get my problems with netflix worked out, I'm in. Right now, I'm getting about one of every four titles shipped to me. The others show as returned in my qeue a few days after they have shipped. I've talked to netflix, I've talked to the post office. It is really frustrating and if it doesn't improve, I might as well cancel. At this point, I'm just keeping the post office busy without any additional added benefit.

If you want you can create separate lists and just not assign any of the DVD slots to it. This would allow you to rate movies separately but still only manage one queue, people would just have to add both accounts.

I just found the Manage Friends screen where you can edit how your friend's name appears. I fixed Traci, but couldn't bring myself to modify Alexander. Heh.

I'm looking at Gregory's queue and am wondering if some of these film gems haven't ever been seen by you or if they are rewatches (I know it's not really a word). I gasped a couple of times thinking, 'Tell me they never saw that!'

Hee hee I like this part:

Movies You Both Hate
The Phantom of the Opera: Special Edition
Star Wars: Episode II
The Matrix: Reloaded
Twister
Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Contact

Lost in Translation
Mean Girls
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
Magnolia
SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie
A Mighty Wind
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Hmm, I think there are only about 3 movies on there that both of us have seen. A couple that one has seen but the other hasn't. But most, we haven't seen.

This sounds fun! Tom and I will have to participate-- I'll have him send his email.

Alex and I both hated:

The Longest Yard
The Stepford Wives
Daddy Day Care
Murder By Numbers

I confess that I haven't actually seen Daddy Day Care. Does one really need to see it to know that they hate it?

Don't worry, we won't laugh. If you don't share, we'll be forced to guess and make up movies that we think are in your queue.

innerSpaceman's Netflix queue:

1. The Smurfs Meet the Snorks
2. The Land Before Time Part 22 - Littlefoot's Hang Nail Adventure
3. The Notebook 2 - (Movie description: Noah and Allie find a treasure map and go on a quest. Featuring Harvey Korman reprising his voice character, the Great Gazoo.)
4. 40 Pounds of Trouble - (I'll let you guess why I put this one on the list.)

5. Crash 2 - Cruise Control

And, to be fair, I'll let you all in on my queue at the moment:

1. Dealing With Anger (The movie version starring Sean Penn, Naomi Campbell, Bjork, Nick Nolte, Jane Fonda and Gary Busey.)
2. F.A.G.S. (Kind of like D.E.B.S. and B.A.P.S. combined)
3. Listen Here, See (Old 30's B/W movie starring over-rehearsed actors that smoke a lot and talk too fast. They say things like 'Why I Oughta' and 'What are you? A chicken? Are ya yella?' and 'I'm gonna sock you in the nose, pal.'
4. The Phonebook - Unabridged (A British Merchant Ivory film sans Merchant where Judi Dench, Emma Thompson, Maggie Smith, Colin Firth, Ian McKellan, Ian Holm, Imelda Staunton and Alan Rickman read phonebook ads to each other in an abandoned castle.)
5. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 2 and Thelma and Louise 2
6. The Wild Bunch 2 - Wilder and Bunchier

Aw damn! I can't mojo you again! GC you're priceless!

But, back to 40lbs of trouble, stinky movie, until they get to Disneyland.....it's one of my guilty pleasures, this movie. I'll watch it, just for the vintage footage
