lots of catching up

...in movies/TV.

Yesterday, Alex finally signed us up for Netflix. I have a long list of movies I need to see. Some of them I really want to (i.e. Broken Flowers), some I feel I have to just because everyone else has (i.e. Crouching Tiger...). I also want to watch Lost. I've never seen any of it, but I hear that I'm really missing out, so I'm going to try to catch up on that.

Netflix has really gone down hill since the last time I looked into signing up. I remember they had packages where you could have as many as 7 DVDs out at a time, now the most is 3?!?! And the prices have also soared. Free trials used to last 1 month (or more), now it's 2 weeks. ::sigh::

Anyway, there's a "friends" feature in Netflix which allows you to see what your friends have on their queue and how they've rated movies they've seen, and make recommendations to each other. If anyone's interested in becoming my "netflix friend," let me know.
