Netflix is a good way to watch old movies

If you want to be tricked into watching old movies…. Netflix is the best choice for you. I don’t know why they have a section called new releases with movies like: Con-Air, Ghost, and Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless mind. Great movies, but they shouldn’t be in the new release section of any brick and mortar movie rental place. Nonetheless, a modern, and “smart” movie rental business like netflix. Why would they subject you to a “recommended for you” section full of old ass movies. I guess it is cheaper for them to get you to rent an old movie than to have to buy extra new releases? It seems to me that Netflix is doing a huge dis-service to their clients.

With major revenues coming in from a great idea like online ship to your door movies. Why don’t they just start a side business that sells extra new movies cheaper? I guess they already have it, but they don’t market it… Maybe they can make up the cost of buying all the new DVD’s that they need with the sales of the older ones. Maybe push the idea that if you love the movie, you can take it off your queue and buy it for only $9.99? Of course they would have to cross refference the movies you’ve already watched to make it make sense, and work. But that shouldn’t be too hard for a multi-billion dollar company like netflix.

I truly hope that a competitor figures out this dis-service, and uses it against them. It would be great for them to know that people really only wish to watch new releases when they are browsing the new release section of your site. Really, what is miss congeniality doing in the new release section. It is at least 5 years old. Let me know if you think I’m wrong……    Oh yeah, so here is the trick. In the new releases section is a really crappy movie with a 3 star rating recommended for you, and you’ve never heard of it. The movie cover looks interesting. You click add to queue, and viola…. You are tricked into renting a crappy old movie that was a complete waste of Netflix’s and your time. WTF
