chez superette, there's hardly a better sight than the presence of a red paper envelope from netflix in the mail. the contents contribute to our week's entertainment in the form of a dvd. we kinda live for their arrival. how's that for pathetic? (however, don't even get us started with netflix's "instant play" feature... your system is incompatible. mac-haters!)
we're always tinkering with our movie queue - adding, subtracting, shuffling. nowadays, i even pay attention to the "new on dvd" section of websites, newspapers, and magazines just to stay on top of it all.
but i have to admit, each time i visit the netflix site, i always take a little pleasure from the obscure "friends' quiz" feature buried deep in the "community" section (one quiz per visit). the quiz requires you to make your best guess about your pals' movie tastes. usually, i am pretty good at this, but today's was a stumper. we probably have the least in common with ronald as far as movie preferences. we still love him though.
i won't even get into the fact that his avatar appears to be a pensive woman who would probably look more appropriate in a calgon ad or even a box of tampons.
hey if you're on netflix, too - drop us a line so i can make bad guesses about your movie tastes, too.
The Netflix friend quiz has become such a weird lens through which I view my personal life. One of my "friends" on Netflix is the account Diego and I had together. Not surprisingly that account's taste is 100% similar to mine. Another "friend" is the new beau, David. I admit that I pore over his queue and ratings for any clues for our future. Is it a good or terrible sign that his taste is only 63% similar to mine?
ReplyDeleteI think as long as D's idea of an ideal evening doesn't include dinner and "Gigli" I think you are ok.
