Netflix giveth, and Netflix taketh away.
So, the way Netflix is supposed to work is as follows:
1. You send a movie back.
2. Netflix gets the movie.
3. Netflix sends you the next movie on your queue.
-unless the next movie on your queue has a wait, in which case-
4. Netflix sends you the next movie on your queue that doesn't have a wait.
This system is not infallible. Case in point. I've had Touchez Pas au Grisbi at the top of my list for several days now, and even though it's been available now, Netflix has sent me the next movie on my list.
Bummer.
Anywho, yesterday I sent back Breathless (which, I might add, was more than a little disappointing), and Touchez says short wait. But then I get an email saying that I've been sent Touchez Pas au Grisbi! Woohoo! Dale: 1, Netflix: Nothin'.
Also, I'm going to try out a new 'blog feature. The James Ellroy Quote-Of-The-Night. Here's tonight's James Ellroy Quote-Of-The-Night:
"We visited Mickey Cohen in his cell at McNeil, approximately two weeks before the Nite Owl killings. We proposed the idea to him. He refused to help and became very angry when we told him the idea was conceived by Duke Cathcart, whom he referred to as quote a notorious statch rape-o shitbird unquote." L.A. Confidential, 212.

Your gain is another's loss.
I had Touchez at the top of my list, and it says "available now," but they sent me Paris, Texas instead.
So did you watch Touchez? Whaddya think? Wait...tell me tomorrow. I'll have seen it by then.
No. The point is: I didn't get it. I think they gave it to YOU, jerky. As soon as I send back Paris, Texas, or Yellow Submarine, maybe they'll send it to me.
i could have lent you yellow submarine, klausy.
I could have built you yellow submarine.

Matt,
Whenever I return movies to you, no matter what's at the top of my queue, I always get porn back.
Well, I did stop sending you the ones starring myself. Your wife wrote such a nasty letter about it, I ALMOST felt ashamed.
