Netflix

Have you ever looked at your Netflix list and just said "Meh

Oh yes. I currently have a whole bunch of things in my queue that I want to see... just not right now.

[srotu27]

My concern about that is that when they send me something I feel that way about, I take bloody forever to watch it, which is a waste of the membership money.

Is it insanity to dump the whole queue and start over with things that quicken the pulse?

[dr_tectonic]

You don't have to watch discs before you return them.

Just add all the pulse-quickening stuff to the top of the queue and send the stuff you're not psyched about back unwatched.

(You can re-add it at the bottom if you think you'll actually be in the mood some other day.)

I know it's true, but I have a hard time with it. In three years of membership, I've done it once, with two discs. And then I felt guilty for a long time while they pushed me to rate the movies. ("I don't know what I thought! I know I kept it six months, but I couldn't make myself watch it, I tell you!") I guess practice makes perfect. Or maybe perfect's something to let go of...

We're kinda in the dregs of our list, too. (Doesn't help that I add stuff I'm kinda interested in, but I'm never sure if Rosemary is.) And, yeah, stuff I feel "meh" about bubbles up to the top. Then sits around forever before we watch it or send it back. I'd say a good healthy cull of the queue would probably be good now and then. And less guilt about not actually watching it, as Dr. T says.

Less guilt, says the fellow Catholic. Like that's an option.
