Altering the Netflix queue--opinion.

[vixengrl]

My husband has eclectic movie tastes. He will put into the queue a movie we already rented from Blokbuster. Or he'll go on a foreign films jag--especially Italian films, since he's fluent (I'm not.) Since we get three at a time--I like them to be mixed up a little--maybe one comedy, a drama, then action, or just make sure we really have a choice between very *different* movies, and not just...well, a choice between movies too similar to make a difference. So, well, I go in and alter the Netflix queue. I might put in something like, say..."Persepolis" and move up "Transporter 3" and "From Hell" and not because I love action and graphic novels--no!

Because I watch movies a lot. With love. And I don't want us to have a bad movie night. Is that so wrong? (He hasn't caught on that I do this thing.)

1. no, not wrong

Hi,
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I am alone, but I mix mine up all the time. However, when I am doing shows I will go back to back to back. I have joined, quit, joined, quit, over and over. I recently rejoined and am just doing the two a month thing. I felt I was getting throttled when I was on the three at a time plan.

Have you seen Rachel Getting Married?

Peace

2. "Rachel Getting Married" looks like just the kind of movie I'd like

and my husband would totally not. I might rent it from Blockbuster and watch it solo--I can't sneak that one on the Netflix queue (no explosions, all drama looks like "chick drama".)

4. Rachel

Hi,
I just watched it last night, and it is sticking with me., It is certainly different from the big commercial films. Very well produced, written, directed and acted. There was one particularly emotional scene for me where I went from laughing to like oh my gosh in two seconds, it was perfection.

Peace

3. not at all

i like to have a variety of movies available to me, too.

i'm watching one series and we're watching another one together, so it's difficult to pick movies because we just have to hope that we're in the mood for whatever one we went with.
