Netflix

Dear Diary,

The Netflix guys have been pissing me off lately. Usually they are very good at sending me movies that I want. But this is the third time they have messed up the delivery.

The first time this happened was when I had requested the movie "Fantastic Four" and they sent me the cartoons.

The second time I had requested "Garfield - the Movie" and they sent me the cartoons.

Why do they keep sending me the cartoons?

And this time, I had requested the movie "Alexander" and they sent me the documentary instead. Although depressed and heartbroken at first, I decided to sit through it since I had nothing else to watch. Also, I thought I'd probably learn a lot more about the man from a documentary than a semi-fictional movie. And I did learn a lot.

First of all, Alexander the Great was a great gay. He had a thing going on with his male friend. But I wasn't surprised. For one thing, all Greek men wore frocks in those days. And for another, it might be the result of Alexander's issues with his mother. Because, in the documentary, the woman was doing things with a snake that were not natural.

I was so grossed out that I decided not to watch the movie even if I got my hands on it later.

This shouldn't be happening, dear diary. Netflix shouldn't be turning me off movies. I am disappointed.
