Netflix Friends

post #1 of 139
Thread Starter 
I just reactivated my Netflix account after several months of non-use and was wondering if anyone on here shares suggestions with each other through the FRIENDS feature. If you're interested in sharing mini reviews with each other, click here. It might also help to send me a PM with your real name so I'll be able to match the real names with your CHUD identity.

Added you. If anyone cares about my shitty taste in movies, click here.

By the way, my netflix ratings are a bit off base because there is no rating between "liked it" and "didn't like it". There a quite a few movies that I think are just "ok". I don't really like them, but I don't hate them either. So you'll see a lot of 3 stars from me because of that and people will think I like a lot of crappy movies (which I do, but not as much as my netflix ratings would indicate).

Yeah, I really wish that Netflix would allow for half ratings, especially since it shows them based on ratings averages.

That is a cool feature. How long has that been around and I haven't noticed?

It's telling that all my preexisting Friends had only about a 55% - 60% similarity to me, whereas the Chewers are all popping up with high 70s and 80s.

I've been really slow to work through my Netflix list, and this probably won't help any.

EDIT: You can change your profile name so that we know each other by something other than "LR6758339." I would recommend doing that.

According to this, my "friends" hated Road Warrior but loved Legally Blonde...

My queue is the most schitzophrenic thing ever. Just FYI.

Good idea, although all my friends will be like "Who's Diva?"

Hey! I forgot to add it last night, but here's mine.
post #15 of 139
My queue is an infant compared to the rest of you's guys.
post #16 of 139
Ok, I have 10 new friends and I only recognize four of you. Please update your profile names.

Eric: My list is ginormous. Every time a Chewer mentions a movie I've never seen, I automatically add it. Usually it doesn't get to the top of my queue until month slater and I'm like "what the fuck is this?!" I kinda like it though. It's like the ipod shuffle. You don't know what's coming next, but its probably gonna be good.

Please do this. I've already forgotten who half the combinations of initials and random numbers I've added to my friends list are...

ETA: Oh, and smiley face.

My queue feels gigantic. I really wish I could quit WoW. I would knock out two resolutions in one fell swoop; Work our more and pare down my Netflix queue.
post #19 of 139
I don't even know how to change my nickname, or what it is at the moment.
post #20 of 139
Yeah, I wouldn't mind a few more friends, add me if you want. Right now Swice and I have the highest match.

Click on "Profile" in the purple menu on the right hand side of the main Friends page. You can alter any info there.

My top 5 Chewer matches:

moovyfreak 81%
CA 77% -- who are you?
Chris Olsen 74%
BillyG 68%
Brandon 67%

Swice, bendix, and sil are low 60s. Everyone else pretty much has opposite taste than me.

That's odd, because it tells me you're 74% similar to me. I'm more like you than you are like me?

And I would imagine Swice's kids adds to the disparity.
post #24 of 139
Whoa. That's pretty cool. I always thought the ratings matched.
post #25 of 139
Swice, Moovy, and I are apparently Netflix BFF's. 86% with both of them, and everyone else is actually above 70%. Kind of makes me wonder how much variety I'll get from ya'lls queues. Is the percentage based on same films? Or genres?
post #26 of 139
I don't know why it kept calling me SIL after I changed that fucker last year.
post #27 of 139
I imagine my love of cheesy Bring It On and Step It Up type movies reduces my similarity to y'all. But I can hang right in there with the drama/sci-fi/horror flicks.
post #28 of 139
It might be all of the Grease 2 you have going on.
post #29 of 139
Just as long as no one slams my Ghost Dad or Leonard Part 6. I won't have anyone talking shit about my Cosby love.
post #30 of 139
Yeah, it is kind of unfortunate that by default everyone can see all the shitty Watch Instantly movies I've put on.
post #31 of 139
I've actually been thinking I'll be called out on giving The Thing three stars.

But then I realized that no one cares.

That's what makes it great.

High fives to Moovyphreak, BillyG, Diva, and Nachos!

Why didn't we hop on this sooner?

And yeah, if you see An American Tail at the top of my queue it's because of my 2 year old. Honest.

I was totally judging you for The Land Before Time 12. I even predicted you'd blame your kid for it.

High five to you sir. I have never heard of A Bit of Fry and Laurie, despite their being a pair of my favorite actors.
post #37 of 139
I've updated both my pic and name on my profile hours ago but its still set as the default.

I assume you didn't look at the rating. I trashed it.

I noticed Ghost Dad in your cue and had to do a double take.
post #39 of 139
Well, I've added a couple people from this thread, so I might as well allow others to add me.

Holy schnikes, I've opened a can of worms. I never expected this kind of response.

Just know the more that you rate, the easier it is to pass along suggestions to others.

Also, to change your screen names as BillyG mentioned just go to the FRIENDS section and click on PROFILE to the right of the list of folks you've befriended. Mine was something like "rif 56789" so I went ahead and changed it to "moovyphreak" since that is a screen name I use multiple places online.

Not really sure about that, but I did find a place where you can change your 1-5 star rating for genres to better steer Netflix's recommendations to you.

Also, while on the subject of Netflix, I am really frustrated that my profile is saying that I have been a member since September 2008 because I've actually been a member since March 2002, despite my 9-month hold last year. It did reactivate in September before I had a chance to put it on hold again which I guess is why it says what it does now.

Here's mine. I'm on there under my real name. My queue is mostly filled with Criterions that I wish I wanted to watch more than I actually want to watch.
post #45 of 139
Huh. Didn't know you could do the invites like this. I look forward to hating some of you people and, in turn, you hating me. Isn't that what the Internet is all about?

I didn't even realize that this existed, but it's pretty neat.

Yes, I was disappointed when I saw that someone had rated Venture Bros. Season 1 at a single star. Why would you do that?
