Yes, folks, this is serious. Chris needs help--MAJOR help--with his queue.
That's right. I'm talking Netflix.
Honestly, one of the things I love about Chris is that he's not into much media, as far as TV shows, music, etc. Most of that stuff is not so great for your Christian walk, and I've found that I've pulled back from watching most of it, too. We do watch some movies, of course, and we've been enjoying the Netflix subscription that my parents gave Chris for his birthday a few months ago...or at least I enjoyed it at first.
The beginning was great. We don't get to the movies too often anymore, so there were several recent ones we hadn't seen yet. I made a few requests, but mostly it was interesting to check the mail to see what Chris had ordered. Until he ran out of things he knew he wanted to see and began...branching out. Old westerns you've never heard of, boring documentaries about idiots trying to do crazy things like sail around the world in a homemade boat, sometimes even weird B sci-fi.
Umm, yeah.
So last week when Chris was out of town, I checked the mail and was slightly hopeful when two movies were in there. After all, sometimes Chris tries to line up stuff for me for when he's going to be out of town.
I opened the envelopes to find The Last Legion (some kind of Troy-inspired knockoff) and a movie about dinosaurs from space or something called Son of Turak. Not kidding.
Is there some kind of intervention program for this?

If you find a program, PLEASE let me know! Ryan runs our queue also and some of his picks have been, well, interesting. "The Peaceful Warrior" anyone?!
I feel your pain!
That is so funny. I laughed out loud! We do Redbox on Mondays when we get free codes for it and we've rented an interesting one or two thanks to him. When we had cable, he would record fun documentaries, History Channel stuff, old westerns, etc. Can't wait to see you guys this week! Have a good one!!
Haha! Yeah, the movies I like to watch are VERY different from my sweet hubs. Oldies: Operation Petticoat, Father Goose, Sound of Music, or chick flicks with predictable sappy endings. N likes almost anything with explosions, gun fights, big creatures that eat little creatures. I think I'd rather watch a soap opera than some of that stuff.
I guess I'm really just commiserating...not that helpful, huh? LOL!
Matthew and I both laughed out loud reading this. Its good to know Chris hasn't changed much.
