ocontraire replied to The Professor's discussion 'What did you watch today? v 34.0'"Agreed, and imo, not a good home movie at that. Really looked forward to this doc.. based on major reviews I read., but came away very disappointed. Totally lacked flow and far too episodic.
2 stars, and I'm being…"
ocontraire replied to The Professor's discussion 'What did you watch today? v 34.0'"Really enjoyed In A B. World. 4 stars here, too. Bier's one of my favorite dir.
This film almost as good as "After the Wedding" (5 stars), and just as enjoyable as "Brudres" and "Broken Hearts". …"

At one time I had 500 in mine but now I use Notepad and just add a few at time. I wouldn't want to lose my saved queue though."
atomx replied to ocontraire's discussion 'Lost my queue's "Netflix Notes" . Anybody else? (or is it "just MY memorex?")'"What is IW? I did cancel the streaming because I didn't want to pay for both, as I don't watch that often. I started w/ a DVD plan, then switched to streaming, for which I had a separate queue. I used to have a queue for each, but could…"
Nerves replied to ocontraire's discussion 'Lost my queue's "Netflix Notes" . Anybody else? (or is it "just MY memorex?")'"If you cancel your streaming plan then you can't see your IW queue (nor which films are available for IW).

wowwee123 said… - A few months ago I started a list with movies that have the same name. It got to be too big to have it all in one thread, therefore, I created a group that could do justice to this project. I invite you to join the group and we could all continue with this project.
Group: Netflix Movies
Index: Movies with same name.

Cat G said… - I'm not so certain it's the reality (BS) shows that are slowing it down so much as the writer's strike! I understand that they needed a new contract (which hadn't changes sine the 80's) but I really missed the shows I love.
Anyway, I hope you'll join our group and try your hand at guessing shows from different decades. We're currently on the 70's.
Try this one example and see if you can answer it.

There are some films like that where once the cat is out of the bag,. that the plot seems to fall flat. I think that it's because the surprise doesn't live up to expectations. The film "The Village" comes to mind. A…"

David replied to David's discussion 'What other movie sites do you enjoy visiting?'"Snagfilms.com : Another upstart film streaming site similar to Hulu that is free for now to use. I was looking at the doc, We Don't Care About Music Anyway, which ask the question: What is music? "

David replied to The Professor's discussion 'What did you watch today? v 34.0'"Charade--seen it before, and it still is worth a repeat.
