I watched the Bill Maher / Larry Charles documentary Religulous off Netflix this week, and for some reason, the more movies I’ve watched, the more random Netflix’s recommendations have gotten. Last week’s “Hey, ever heard of The Godfather?” suggestion was nothing compared to this list of “Other Movies You Might Enjoy” based on my four-star rating of Religulous:
Documentary about worldwide religious self-assurance = The Fantastic Four? Huh? Two Nicolas Cage movies? Indef***ingpendence Day??? Because God created the universe, and Bill Pullman is in that universe? I’m confused.
After the jump, the recommendations get even weirder:
I’m a big fan of religious documentaries, like, you know, Van Helsing and Hitch. Also, Lethal Weapon 4, but ONLY #4, not those ridiculous Lethal Weapons 1-3, which weren’t religious documentaries at all. But I do definitely want to see S.W.A.T., that suggestion was right on the mark. (?)
(And as an epilogue to my Seven Samurai decision, 1) Turns out, my roommate already owned the movie on DVD, and 2) I still haven’t watched it. I’ll get the hang of this “watching moving pictures” trend one of these days…)
