The Netflix API has a catalog feed, and I assume this is what InstantWatcher is using. The RSS feed just has title, link and synopsis, and is sorted by genre, which messes up he feed if you read it too often. The API has the availability dates, genr…

I heard a great interview with Jane Curtain when the dvds came out. She was given a set, and tried to watch, but thinks the show was bloody awful.

I'm still working my way through the episodes in order, a few gems but a lot of it is just OK or a bit dated. Season 2 loses Chevy Chase after a few episodes, and goes a bit flat for a while, but Season 2 episode 8 has Paul Simon and George Harrison…

Lots of people have mentioned the Bass-o-matic to me when I say I'm working through SNL from the beginning and if anyone is looking for the very first Bass-o-matic mention, it's in Season 1 Episode 17. That episode has President Ford's press secreta…

Hi, I'm responding to a thread where a person said their movie suggestions were very low. Out of ~850 rated movies, I have less than 20 suggestions. I am a profile on a shared account. The current "head" profile has ~1500 movies rated, and 1400 suggestions, and another profile has ~850 movies also and less than 10 suggestions. Any idea why this would be?
