if netflix was a person...
...i would have to beat it senseless.
nothing in this world frustrates me quite like stupidity. and i never thought a computer program, via a popular website would show me that it's not just people, but...
i logged into the 'flix today to check my current queue. as always, i was greeted by a kind page spouting "you have recommendations." mindlessly, i clicked the link.
predator: collectors edition (1987)
the fact that predator came up was the first clue that something was wrong. for the life of me i couldn't figure out why this schwarzenegger/weathers/ventura action movie from the 80's would come up in my recommendation file. i thought to myself:
how in the hell, after my EXTENSIVE movie ratings in their database of mostly movies that i love (that aren't 80's action movies), did netflix choose THIS movie to recommend to me? what could i have possibly liked that would warrant this?
then i saw it. at the lower left of the screen i see this:
i've been beating my head against the wall all day trying to figure this one out. good luck.

LaunchCast on Yahoo (virtual radio station) does the same d@mn thing.
I've rated over 12,000 different songs on my profile, and I'll be listening along to Oasis, Counting Crows, maybe some old Hootie, and then, out of nowhere, comes some lame b-side from a demo from a band called "The Yokels"
It's plain and simple when you think about how this world works...the label for "The Yokels" is lining the pockets for LaunchCast.
My guess, Ah-nald and co. want you to buy more copies of Predator, and they want you to rent it before you buy it.
It's all about the Benjamins.
"You know it's sad but truuuuuuuuuuuuuue"
of course, the other great thing was the description they had for predator.
Two real-life governors -- Arnold Schwarzenegger (Dutch) and Jesse Ventura (Sgt. Blain) -- use their muscled intellects to pursue a force more sinister than state budget crises. It's an otherworldly creature deep in the jungle adept at slaughtering our best-trained fighters, and worse yet, it's practically invisible. Special effects, dizzying camera work and a sci-fi bent elevate this gory horror-actioner, making the 1990 sequel a given.
fire the writer NOW!
Carl Weathers is your link between gilmore and Predator.
Carl Weathers is black, so is Ernie Hudson.
Therefore you have Predator. Simple equations.
Or maybe, Happy Gilmore has Carl Weathers losing a limb and so does Predator.
Ghostbusters is funny, Predator is unintentionally funny.
Both have a team of guys with weapons hunting something from another world.
Both have gooey special effects.
Many reasons. These films are all very obviously related.
