What kind of Netflix boy or girl are you?

LifeDistortion · 01.30.2009, 02:42 PM

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.

atsonicpark · 01.30.2009, 02:58 PM

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):

Rob Instigator · 01.30.2009, 03:37 PM

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

afterthefact · 01.30.2009, 03:40 PM

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.

atsonicpark · 01.30.2009, 03:43 PM

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.

afterthefact · 01.30.2009, 03:53 PM

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.

Rob Instigator · 01.30.2009, 03:53 PM

or to the dollar kiosk at the supermarket.

ha!

Rob Instigator · 01.30.2009, 03:54 PM

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.

afterthefact · 01.30.2009, 03:55 PM

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.

atsonicpark · 01.30.2009, 04:10 PM

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.

pbradley · 01.30.2009, 04:12 PM

I've mostly just seen HBO miniseries on Netflix.

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

LifeDistortion · 01.30.2009, 04:13 PM

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.

atsonicpark · 01.30.2009, 04:19 PM

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

mangajunky · 01.30.2009, 04:32 PM

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"

afterthefact · 01.30.2009, 04:33 PM

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.

davenotdead · 01.30.2009, 04:33 PM

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

A. New Releases
B. Indie and/or forgein flims

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