Nix Netflix.

Have you seen the commercials for NETFLIX where the homeowners come home and the characters of a movie are in their living-room waiting?

That certainly could be interesting.

I first thought I would like Thelma & Louise characters waiting in mine...especially Brad Pitt at THAT age. And that annoying guy Thelma is married to- just so I could personally kick the crap out of him. but then I got thinking......would I really want the WHOLE cast there? FBI guys tracking mud in my home- watching TV and I'll bet MONEY they wouldn't want to watch HGTV like I do.

Then I thought, Owwwwww- Harry Potter would be fun. Then I got thinking about Voldemort. Or Drako Malfoy. Or that annoying little butthead cousin, Dudley, or Auntie Petunia and Uncle Vernon.
Ummmmmmm.........No. Besides, I don't know any counter-spells to defend myself should I piss someone off. I AM only a muggle, after all.

How about Rocky......or Rambo?? Nope- too much blood. Do you KNOW how hard it is to get blood stains out of carpet and upholstery? .......Ummmmm....I have kids- Don't take that the wrong way, people. Y'all have been watching WAYYYYYYY too much CSI.


Okay, Well, is there ANY safe movies to order from NETFLIX?

I don't think so.

If I came home and found Brad Pitt at 'That' age in my house, you'd come home to find me standing over him, with his arm in my hand, that I'd just used to beat him to death with.

Not that I'm possesive or jealous or anything.

So how would you feel about....say.........Oded Fehr?

Or.......Tom Hanks?

I'm not responsible enough for blockbuster. I can't see netflix working out well for people such as myself.

For those who remember that they don't actually own the movies and are willing to return them in a timely manner? A safe one might be the good chick flick stand by: Beaches. You get ocean, singing and very little amounts of mud with no dangerous idiots waiting to hex you.

We've had Netflix for quite some time now and no ... I can't say I'd want to come home to find any of those ACTUAL people in my house. Even Brad Pitt at THAT age. Although it is a tasty little fantasy. :)

Ha ha! Great post.

Hmn, safe movies... Perhaps a documentary about bunnies?

Paulius said...

Bunnies?

Have you never seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

Are you MAD?

MC Etcher said...

Bwa ha haa!

Yes.

As long as it's just the characters. I'd be concerned if we had to start making room for the camera crew, the lighting guys and sound techs. Although the food service people might be good. I wouldn't have to cook dinner after work.

BEACHES????
Ewwwww...I would have to smack Bette Middler around a bit. Lord, that is a loud obnoxious woman.

What if they sent you the wrong movie?

Do netflix rent porn? Imagine trying to explain those two lesbians doing frankly unhygenic things with that banana to the wife!

misty harley said...

Yes, but you don't get blood. Unless of course you knock the woman upside the head with a frying skillet.

Oh and Paulius, that wasn't a banana......

Netflix does NOT rent porn, kiddies. You're thinking of another website ...
