Dear Netflix,

Dear Netflix,
After switching to your service for about two months, I've come to really love it. I've seen a lot of movies through your mail in service, and I've been flying through Babylon 5's seasons 3-4 like crazy on instant cue.
But, you made me turn my head in confusion when I logged onto your service today. Based on my interest in Police Academy 5 and World's Greatest Dad, you suggested I watch Jackass 2.5. Uh, I hate that show. I'm not a fan of either Johnny Knoxville or Steve-O because they both annoy me. I've never watch their TV show fully or seen their movies. I will not see Jackass 3D either.
Yeah, I've seen a lot of Raunchy Comedies, but suggesting Jackass is just plain wrong.
Thanks,

I was just watching the Daily Show... apparently Jackass 3D opened tonight at the MoMA.

I know it going to be a huge opening and the 3d might be interesting for some, but just not my cup of tea.

Are you planning on seeing it?

I am probably going to see it on DVD or cable... not in 3D, just for the spectacle of it.

MC: It might be in 3D on TV, but I not sure about DVD. I'm guessing there will be puke and other brown type matter hurling around in 3D

Mayren: They gave me a few more suggestions that made me go "Huh". I think the Police Academy thing is what's doing it because I watched like three of them in a row.

See, whenever I have a recommendation engine telling me things I should like, it gets it wrong, wrong, wrong. I am battling my Youtube recommendations at the moment because it keep recommending videos based on a single one I watched, rather than the massive numbers of others which provide a much better view of the kind of stuff I like.

Interestingly enough, nearly all my suggestions for youtube are Space Church videos, probably because I've watched more of those vids for my paper

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

a U of L cheerleader gets into a little bit of trouble...

Image
The Internet can be a dangerous place, and things that you did with that camera can come back to ruin your life. A very attractive University of Louisville cheerleader by the name of Becca Manns took some pictures of herself naked and also having sex with a dude. Either her memory stick or camera was stolen, and the theft uploaded the graphic photos onto the World Wide Web. That was when the shit hit the fan (Louisville Fan). She ended up having to leave the program and probably school. (I am currently enrolled in UofL as well, but you won't find any photos of me.) I sort of feel sorry for her because she did one crazy thing, and now it has ruined her life. However, I have to say this to her: You were given a chance to do something many people would never get a chance to do, go to an University. You have to learn fairly quickly that every action good or bad has consequences. Exposing yourself probably wasn't good for your career or your life. (James steps off his ...

Bernie Mac RIP

Bernie Mac is Dead A bit of upsetting news... ((CHICAGO (AP) — Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50. )) I remember watching him on Def Comedy Jam , where he really broke out. If you get a chance, check out some of his earlier work on that show. I think he was able to really shine in some of the roles he took in his movie career. He seemed to always play the creepy guy that wore bad clothes and talk in strange patterns. Friday : He was great in this limited role. He played Pastor Clever, the horny Pastor. Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood : He played the self-racist cop. What a great moment. Get on the Bus : Another good role, but limited. Ocean's Eleven : He had a few moments to shine in this role, plus third film too. Bad Santa : Very ...
