That wacky Netflix

[fbhjr]

This morning I've been trying to adjust my Netflix preferences as it keeps suggesting garbage for me to watch.
And, whatever program they use to categorize movies is very strange.
Did you like "Judge Dread?" "Yes, I did." "Do you always watch Drug Movies?"
What? You put that down as a drug movie?
The old Stalone version they put down as an "American Psycho" movie.
History of the World Part I they put down as a move about ancient Rome.
Batman Beyond they listed as a father son buddy movie.
Ladyhawk was listed as a movie about horses.

It's no wonder I don't get movies I like suggested to me. I just don't understand the categories...

I find the same thing on Netflix! And on the dashboard it will recommend a list of movies "because you recently watched....." and some are so totally out there. Plus in my house we have one account with myself, my 12 year old daughter and my 15 year old son all watching movies on it. So the recommendations get really odd! I should really make separate accounts, but just never have.

Ladyhawk was listed as a movie about horses.

I have no problem seeing that. Navarre's horse is a central character in the story, complete with his very own name, Goliath, and from a quick Googling he's given credit for making the Friesian horse breed a craze in the U.S. 8-)

Yeah I get so frustrated because I have to actually search for movies I want to see, because things I like never pop up based on recommendations anymore.
