We&#8217;ve been busy, and we were getting movies from a queue I put together a long time ago, when I was living on my own and therefore choosing films that <em>I<\/em> was interested in, not films that <em>we<\/em> were interested in (and while there&#8217;s some overlap, there&#8217;s also a lot of disconnect between the two). So, we&#8217;d ended up getting movies that we just weren&#8217;t interested in, and they&#8217;d just sit here in the hopes that some night, they&#8217;d sound right.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the longer they sit, the less of a good deal that $20 a month is.<\/p>\n<p>So, on the verge of just canceling the Netflix account, we decided we&#8217;d take a little time to brainstorm a bit and put together a queue that we&#8217;d be more likely to enjoy going through. I completely nuked the queue I had built up, we found three basic ideas to start from, and got a new queue set up. We&#8217;re pretty sure that the result will carry us through for the next few months rather easily.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the final result <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/netflix.shtml\" title=\"Eclecticism: Netflix\">might provoke a few laughs, or at least raised eyebrows<\/a>.
