I’m home sick today,
and planning to actually spend the day being sick, rather than sickly answering e-mails and sickly cleaning up the house, like my non-stop brain is telling me to.
What should I stream on Netflix?
Things I no longer need to pack for a weekend trip now that I have a smart smartphone
- Laptop
- Laptop power cord
- Digital camera
- Extra camera battery
- Camera battery charger
- USB cord for camera
- iPod
- iPod firewire cable & charger
I can do all the photographing, listening, Netflix watching, and blogging that I want, all from my phone! I love the future.
Also now on Netflix…
We both agreed on not watching a shitty movie tonight, and went with The Wizard. Turns out I still love this movie… but man, I never realized how heavy handed the Nintendo product plugs are. No wonder Ebert voted one of the worst film of 1989.Some Random Notes
- They never eat.
- Alarmingly aggressive bounty hunter.
- Savage, Slater, and Beau Bridges all talk to each other like adults in the movie. I always half expected to see Fred Savage holding a coffee cup.
- If you give a tow driver $50, they’ll tow a strangers car and get it stripped for parts, no questions asked.
CR: Add to weekend to-do list?
Dreamcatcher is now available on Netflix streaming.
It’s so amazingly bad that it’s good; PLEASE watch it.
Netflix Now Streams To iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch (Consumerist)
Pretty amazing stuff.
Our first night with Hybrowse was a success!
Discovered and loved Mike Birbiglia’s stand-up special: What I Should Have Said Was Nothing: Tales From My Secret Public Journal

Check this out, CR! You can even sort out “Instant”!
We’ve exhausted the normal ways to search for good movies on Netflix, so this is refreshing. Now CR can search for boy movies without the ratings being skewed by the ratings on my account.
Very cool interactive map of Netflix rentals. (NYT)
An utterly pure film. Writing a review would be missing the point.
Zac’s most recent Netflix review
I only have 4 Netflix “friends”, and I’m glad that one of them is my favorite movie snob, Zac, whose taste is somehow 73% similar to mine and who never uses the term “movie” to refer to a “film”.
