And Start Watching Films with a Brain and a Heart
Why You Should Junk Netflix
by LOUIS PROYECT

If any further evidence of the uselessness of Netflix was needed, I 
refer you to the recently concluded four-picture deal with Adam Sandler, 
who is to movies as Danielle Steel and Ken Follett are to the novel. Did 
you ever forget to bring a book with you on a long airplane trip and 
stop in at an airline terminal to look for something to read? Wall to 
wall Steel and Follett, right? Bummer. That’s the same reaction I have 
been having lately looking for something to watch on Netflix. That is 
not to speak of the cheesy menu that basically propagates the same junk 
across “Popular on Netflix”, “Recently Added” and “New Releases”. A 
quick look there turns up “Jackass presents: Grandpa” and “The Coed and 
the Zombie Stoner”. Considering the fact that most Netflix subscribers 
have never heard of Kurosawa or Godard, it is quite a statement that 
“The Coed and the Zombie Stoner” only garnered one and a half stars, an 
inflated grade considering the fact that you can’t rate something as 
zero stars.
