Why in god's name does a search for "Forrest Gump" return Full Metal Jacket as the first result?

Netflix is infuriating for me as they pump out just enough stuff I'm interested in and space it out so I don't cancel, but I never really feel like I'm getting my moneys worth.

Anyone like the some of the generic music they play with auto play trialers. Parks & Rec music makes me happy.

But when this happens I put on Forensic Files, grab my Switch and play Xenoblade 2. I've seen like all 150 epsiodes but I can olny remember a few. The Office is also another go-to show.

Out of the 5+ years I've used Netflix, I can absolutely guarantee that I have never done this.

I enter Netflix knowing exactly what I want at all times.
The notion that this video is meant to be relatable is so odd to me.

I fall asleep to Netflix all the time. That's half of the appeal. Once your feature is over, it goes silent.

If you try to fall asleep to a DVD, the movie ends and cuts you back to the DVD menu, wherein the same loop of music/video endlessly replays for hours.....eventually waking you up or infecting your dreams.

Netflix really should just implement "channels." Have a few for movies and have a few for tv. I don't understand why they haven't done this. Make constant streams with a preprogrammed lists, like tv channels.

I watch a lot of Netflix but didn't even realize some of those movies are there.

Need to get my algorithm straightened out

I just wish the main interface didnt try and peddle me the same 10-20 things every single time I turn it on.

Looking at James' queue, there are movies on his Netflix that I didnt know were even on the service to begin with.

I think if they mixed it up more on what they suggest to you, it would be mildly better.

Sometimes when I read posts here I don't know if they're satire or people are that out of touch.

And it's a real thing that's been studied, when people have too many choices they prefer not to choose anything.

I solved this problem a while ago. Last year, Amazon was adding Unsolved Mysteries seasons each month, so I'd come home and just throw a couple episodes on. Then I finished the show and moved on to Forensic Files, which has 20 seasons.

Do you still beat your wife?

So a resounding no.

Can we have, like, one Era off-topic thread that doesnt devolve into this?

And he isn't any of those things. Don't know about Mike.
Plenty of threads are made about folks who aren't shitty, try visiting one of those before letting everyone know how tired you are of people not being cool with racist and sexist behavior. And judging by the responses, the highlighting is well deserved.

Why is he racist and sexist? I've seen almost all of his videos, did I miss that one where he goes on a sexist and racist rant?

Because Mike drew racist comics in college - it's bad shit for real - so James must be racist. James also made a video where he said he just isn't going to watch the new Ghostbusters because people were constantly asking if he planned to see it, and he said it didn't look interesting or necessary, so he must be a sexist.

This is what people truly believe

the worst is doing this while dating,

girl is sitting on the coach and you go "what do you wanna watch?", she goes "whatever",
then you enter into a Netflix browse trance where you find nothing after browsing for 5 minutes
"how about this?" "I dont know, what do you feel like?"
"okay, this?"
"I don't like that actor"
"Sure, hmmm uh horror sucks, oh what about comedy?'
"No, I'm not in the mood to laugh"
"eh, what about this, it's a classic"
"seen it"

then after 10 minutes, you end up browsing and doing nothing

You got to be kidding me, but not surprising.

I know it's been said a lot, but Netflix just needs to add channels that broadcast shows on fixed schedules. It's already been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that a lot of people struggle with this choice dilemma.

I raised this idea a few years ago on GAF and people were like "NO THAT'S STUPID WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS"

Fools! Fools I tell you!

Sometimes I just put in R18 into the search and watch the strange side of Netflix. Ever seen The Tribe? It will fuck you up.

If there isn't some new Netflix original thing, I usually just end up watching things I've already seen and own on physical media like Star Trek.

Or a Shaw Brothers movie... dubbed because that's the only option for some reason.

Or the sequel to some anime they don't have the first part of.

Netflix is great.

I will just browse Netflix and start adding movies and shows to my list and then never watch them, lol. Then eventually I will go through my list and notice a movie I added over a year ago, that I never watched was removed. I will then start to get mad that they had removed it, lol.

I need help.

How about a category that is just films and shows that are leaving the service in the next month or two.

"Is this movie on Netflix? No. No. No. No. No."

That's why I have my huge Blu Ray/Movie collection, own them all by myself and can watch them, including a shit ton of extras, with mostly better sound options as on Netflix, whenever I want, forever.

Netflix is cool as addition, but that's it.
