What I Snack on in Movie Theaters
I almost never go to theaters (made an exception for "Sweeney Todd"). When I go, I don't snack -- and I try not to sit near people who do.
Are you a Netflix employee?
a) No.
About Me:
I recently moved from Las Vegas to Grover Beach -- and then chased a job to Eagle Rock, an unlikely copse of old wilderness in an old part of Los Angeles near Glendale and Pasadena, and home of Occidental College (a tiny, excellent liberal arts school where Obama was a student before transferring east). Amazingly, the sound of the Ventura Freeway sounds just like the ocean ...
Howdy, pardners. I found this useful ...

Thanks...about a couple of years too late! Just checking this site...dismayed at NF's demise.

Hi again,

Shockingly, this is a person who does * not* work for Netflex, and is getting her PhD. She is doing her dissertation on the behavior of Netflix people. She was interested in my reviews. I am truly sorry about your ulcer. Generally, they are stress related, but it is not for me to say. There is an application on the iphone/ipad/itouch for stress reduction. It is called :"Relax," by Andrew Johnson; it has to do with "progressive relaxation. " it was 3 bucks, and there is also one for sleep for 3 bucks. I tend to have this indefatigable churning of mind that makes my sleeping a marathon match! Hence, that is when I do my writing. The lady who does the survey lives in NYC and is from China. It would be a good idea to show her some of your work before the non reviews. I work for myself and do not see clients before 2:00 P. M. -- my boss is my cat, Dylan and we rarely argue!

O.G.

Netflex is - just now - doing public "awareness surveys" to people on this list. They are trying to promote the critics comments instead of our own. Admittedly, there is truly some junk out there, but I do not follow the junk ... Just the people who are adept at writing well-crafted reviews. Please be aware of this,

John

I have contacted Netflex on a few occasions throughout the year, since I have been a member since 2003. Initially, there were numerous mistakes, so one would literally "handwrite" on the sleeve what the problem was, and it was promptly corrected. When Instant Watch was implemented, there were problems, so they would connect me with a technician, and he would be able to go directly into my computer to correct any problems. To say the least, everyone was polite and more than accommodating.

I now have more free time on my hands, since I am semi-retired, so I recently started writing reviews. Serendipitously, I ran into the tiny "Friends" tab, and was able to locate obscure titles that needed more attention And hence, writing these reviews was becoming habit-forming! But, right in front of my eyes, things were disappearing, so I called in, and was told that it was being closed down. -- I was silent! --Like I had been punched in the stomach, whooping and gasping for air ... She, had just heard the news herself, and must have had an avalanche of calls. She did *not* seem to have been well-prompted, since she said that this was happening to our best and most loyal customers. Thereafter, when I tried to make other calls, they were not the least bit "genuinely" concerned, to which they referred to it as not being a "social site," and that it was taking up too much time, and too much space! I told the trade for "Facebook" was about as pleasant as tin-foil on-a-tooth!... At last, I got a truthful answer, albeit, not what I wanted to hear. Common sense tells me that they are simply a liaison, for corporate decisions, and are being inculcated to believe that it is a non- productive venture that did not workout. Surprisingly, some are not even aware that "Friends" is getting the axe.

Hello, O.G.

I just wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" for all that you are doing to save "Friends." Obviously, you have put in a lot of time writing reviews, and to see Netflix be so cavalier about the very "2%" that has made them is heart-wrenching! Nonetheless, I read a few of your views prior to your present "non reviews" and to say that I found your reviews to be very good and your choice in film to be helpful in my search. Just to let you know: I have made several calls thus far and have spread the word as to just how I feel about the matter. Again, thank you for sharing your "non-reviews!"

Thanks, OG. The deed is done. I removed my addy a while ago when I got a number of people added that I didn't really have much interest in.

Hi, OG. I have you as a Fav but not a friend. If that spot is still open, please add me as a friend as well.

I've suspected this when they took away the Friends Tab, however they've tried to do other things that made people angry and they've had to back off. If they elimiate Friends I'll go down to 1 DVD from 3. We've upgraded our cable from Basic to 30+ channels so the Friends' Community is my primary link to Netflix. So your pictures are South CA? Looks like Zuma or some point north of L.A. I only remember ice-plant on those beaches. Have fun!
