Netflix no longer thinks I'm gay

You may remember a few years back when an email entitled "My Tivo thinks I'm gay" circulated thru the internet circles. A guy described a time when he programmed his Tivo to faithfully record "Will and Grace" every week. He then began to receive a ton of homosexual-themed movies and shows from his Tivo in response to his prime time viewing choice. A similar thing happend to me when I queued up a movie on Netflix, "Mala Educacion" (Bad Education), by renowned Spanish director Pedro Almodovar about a guy that is avenging his transvestite/junkie brother's death (the plot thickens and it gets a little more complicated), Netflix threw out a bunch of movies it thought I would like, a few of which turned out to verge on the border of outright porn. First there was the French movie with the two pseudo-lesbians and orgy finale, then there was the "coming of age" movie about two teenage boys and their summer of exploratory straight and gay sex. But I just watched my latest movie in the queue, "All the Real Girls" starring Zooey Deschanel (of "Elf" fame) and Paul Schneider, a relative unknown who I want to seek out and stalk til I'm slapped with a restraining order. Maybe I'm just moody and feeling lovelorn, but the simplicity of their hick romance was poetic. It's not action packed and the dialogue is a little slow (c'mon, they're in the middle of Podunk-nowhere) but the simultaneous relief and bliss of first kiss in the first scene felt so real and drew me in immediately. Probably best viewed with a vat of ice cream or with a group of the female persuasion.
