Netflix

Yup, I’ve signed up. I wasn’t going to because I knew I would spend too much time watching a screen again, something that I pretty well avoided for a few years, instead concentrating on getting through a few good films each week.

However… since Amazon bought out my previous online film provider, the choice, particularly of world film, seems to have been greatly reduced (or been hidden under the many layers of menu items now available).

Anyhow, back to Netflix. I hate it. Or rather most of what’s on offer. I hate the fact that nearly every icon picture depicting an American film available for selection (most of what’s featured tends to be American), seems to include a picture or reference to a gun or guns! So whilst apologising to my ‘normal’ American friends out there, I have to ask, what is it with this insane gun culture that you love so much?

I’m actully now selecting films to watch based on pictures that don’t show guns and… some much more interesting stuff is coming to light. It’s only a pity that you can’t get rid of them via some kind of search criteria! 🙂
