What kind of Netflix boy or girl are you?
 

So I've been getting Netflix for about four years and I think its pretty damn great, and I take it probobly many if not most of you are also members. So I have a few questions:

1. What do mostly rent on Netflix?

A. New Releases
B. Indie and/or forgein flims
C. Televison series
D. "I'm not going to be a member till you can rent porn."

2.How many DVDs do you get at a time?

3. How long do you keep your movies? Do you watch them the minute they arrive or do you put it at the bottom of your mail, don't see if for days or weeks, until you discover that you have a movie at home and didn't realize you had it?

4. List all the DVDs currently in your queue.


Can't think of anything else to ask if you think of more questions feel free to contribute them.

I smell atsonicpark coming...

1. I mainly rent old movies I may have missed or wish to see again. Most foreign movies, I've already bought non-region-1 copies of if they interest me. Though I still rent the occasional movie I've missed, I usually try to buy ones from companies I like (Media Blasters, Anchor Bay, and so on).

2. 8 at a time. Me and my friend share the same account, and he watches lots of TV shows and art documentaries for his school stuff, so really only half the thing is my movies, and yes I usually watch 'em right away if I can.

3. I watch them when they arrive, but they all arrive at different times, but we usually get 12-16 movies a week.

4. Well, mine's always maxed out at 500. Here's the first few in my queue that aren't tv shows or art documentaries (which, again, I don't rent):

my ex-wife had Netflix forever. she was a big movie buff. I have never had it for myself.

do not have hours to devote to movie watchin

Contrary to popular belief, Netflix is not just for those people who want to watch movies all the time. Don't let atsonicpark fool you. You can just get a queue of movies you want to watch, and watch them at your leisure, without having to worry about when it needs to get back.

Yeah, but why would someone pay $16 or so a month and just sit on 3 movies or whatever for a month? The main reason people get netflix is to watch (or, uh, whatever people do with movies) as many movies as quickly as possible and send them back and get more as quickly as possible. Otherwise, they'd just go to a rental store, if any still exist, and pay $3 per movie or whatever.

I'm not saying it's not ideal for watching tons of movies, but you can pay less than $10 for a package of one movie at a time, and if you only get 3 or 4 a month out of it, I don't know if you ever rent from places like Blockbuster, but that's one heck of a deal, fella.

or to the dollar kiosk at the supermarket.

ha!

i never rent movies. My g/f will go to hollywood if she wants to wathc a recent release.
I hate spending time in hollywood or blockbuster. it irritates me.

Yeah, but those dollar things they put everywhere nowadays piss me off, because not only are you usually standing there FOREVER while some old lady returns 3 movies at a rate of 4 minutes each, but they don't have a great selection, and a lot of times they don't even have the movies that the sign says they have. Plus, I procrastinate horribly, so I don't like the idea of a dollar a day.

We don't have a Blockbuster here. It went out of business. We do have a few of those dollar machines; unfortunately, they stock shit movies.

I've mostly just seen HBO miniseries on Netflix.

But I've never had a Netflix account, just friends and family.

My local supermarket has movies to rent to, but I'm not intrested in renting "Turner & Hooch", or some other mostly family friendly fare. And such a limited selection of films.

The thing is, Turner and Hooch is still a million times better than all the shit those red box rental things have in 'em.

Netflix on demand - I watched all three seasons of the new Doctor Who that was available on there - I've also been watching a lot of documentaries and old movies like "It Happened One Night"

Ah, yes, the Watch Instantly feature is nice, now that they have decent stuff there. It used to be only old movies, 80's comedies, and the occasional good movie.

1. What do mostly rent on Netflix? mostly indie/foreign but sometimes a+c

A. New Releases
B. Indie and/or forgein flims
C. Televison series
D. "I'm not going to be a member till you can rent porn."

2.How many DVDs do you get at a time? 1

3. How long do you keep your movies? Do you watch them the minute they arrive or do you put it at the bottom of your mail, don't see if for days or weeks, until you discover that you have a movie at home and didn't realize you had it? usually watch it right away or within a few days

a= suckdom, B = goodness, C = yeah no cable fees D = that would be sweet.. i used to get greencine, which has porn, but im not gonna keep it just cuz the porn-- basically cuz im not a big porn fiend-- the internet is enough for wanking.



currently 5, i used to have 8 when i lived in the ass of the world



some the minute they arrive (tv crack), some i wait for the right time ("heavy" stuff), but they go straight over the tv. i get to watch a movie a day most days-- i'd say i watch 5 a week


fuck off, you nosy bastard :D

(i have over 400 in the dvd and over 300 on the instant watch queues)

1. What do mostly rent on Netflix?
Horror movies, tv shows, music crap, documentaries, some foreign stuff

2.How many DVDs do you get at a time?
I get 3 now....it usually does the trick.

3. How long do you keep your movies? Do you watch them the minute they arrive or do you put it at the bottom of your mail, don't see if for days or weeks, until you discover that you have a movie at home and didn't realize you had it?
They are usually back in the mail in a day or two.

4. List all the DVDs currently in your queue.
My queue is always maxed out at 500 or whatever.

Right now, I have in there:

1. Religulous
2. The Wire: Season 2 Disc 4
3. Rahsaan Roland Kirk: Live in 63 & 67
4. Ms. 45
5. Kids in the Hall: Season One Disc 2
6. MSTK3000: Ring of Terror
7. Classic Drum Solos & Drum Battles Vol. 2
8. Dr. Katz: The Complete Series Disc 6
9. Three On a Meathook
10. Taste of Blood

etc.

Netflix is pretty much one of my favorite things in the world.

I thought Religulous was cool, watched it watch-movies-links. Will have to check out that Rahsaan Roland Kirk thing.. he was born around this town and rules. Kids in the Hall is great, one of my all time favorite shows, as is MST3K. Had no idea THREE ON A MEATHOOK was on DVD! I always used to see copies of the vhs at a pawn shop until this asshole I know bought it. Taste of Blood, the H.G. Lewis film? Hope you're awake.

This will be my first time seeing Religulous.....I pretty much know what to expect, I mean, it's Bill Maher. Thank God Real Time is coming back.


H.G. Lewis rules....the Blood Trilogy is essential!! Blood Feast is easily in my top 25 or so....friend of mine's brother worked at a video store and found an old copy of it on VHS and gave it to us when we were in 7th or 8th grade.


"What do you consider to be......unusual?"

and you watch them all?:eek:

I heard of netflix once. americaland has many such magical things, so I heard.


If I had netflix I'd never post them back. It would never work.

Well, as I said, I share an account, and not all the films are for me, but ... Yeah... sometimes, I can watch that much. It's not hard to watch 2 movies a day when I'm working and even more when I'm off. All my friends and girlfriend and family loves movies too so I end up watching tons with htem. Besides the ones we get from netflix, I watch movies online too. What else would I be doing? Window shopping at some bullshit mall or "Gettin fuckin drunk dude!" with idiot frat boys?

Also, yeah, I love H.G. Lewis. Taste of Blood isn't that great though.

1. A combination of forgein films, independant films and new releases usually.

2. We've been getting one movie at a time. I'm picky and some times I can't find anything to add to the queue anyways.

3. I used to keep them for about 3-4 days. But lately its only been about a day or two.

4. Vicki Cristina Barcelona should be arriving today

In the Queue:

The Ultimate Gift
Iris
Running On Empty
Breaking and Entering
Elegy
Barton Fink

Netflix is some online DVD renting thing because the people in America are:

A) too fat to get off their asses and leave the house to rent a DVD

or

B) too affraid for the law to download movies instead.

c) Want to rent movies the local video stores wouldn't carry in a million years.

d) Want to rent movies that aren't being seeded on any torrents anymore.

Haha, I was joking of course, but I get your point.
