This was waiting for me when I checked Netflix this morning:

 Oh hippy parents, what are we to do with you.

Nothing, I suppose, as the damage has been done.

I heard that A.P. Mike has a controlling stake in Netflix.

Since a lot of FOT are Netflix friends, and I'm sure many have queued up Stroszek (like me), maybe it was looking at friends that liked similar movies to you and pulled out the most common title from their queues. (?)

One WEEK after the Together incident, Netflix recommended it to me. Spooky.

(It was right, too. I loved it).

Also, Michael Clayton was really good. I just watched it last night.

Word. Best Clooney film ever, and I like most of them.

Yeah, I liked it a lot, too. So many people hated on it when it got the Oscar nomination that I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it.

I gotta say, Michael Clayton = instantly forgettable. Do you really think high-powered law firms have their own hit squads? Did you really buy that? Also, what was with that weird Equus moment? I know the writer had to get Clooney out of the car so that it could blow up without him inside of it, but did he have to make him stop to pet the horsies? Why not just have him pull over to buy a balloon?

Also, Tilda Swinton's twitching got on my nerves.

I thought you were going to say he stopped to put their eyes out.

I have not seen Michael Clayton yet, so I can not say much there.  But does it top Out of Sight?  That was my favorite Clooney film so far.

I'd still pick Out of Sight over Michael Clayton.
