**Hockey Monkey** , you obviously have good taste in movies, you are tied with **EofA** at an 80% match with me. **Sassy** , you haven’t shown up on my list as SassySF yet. You are on my list, since clicking your link doesn’t add anyone, but your name is still what ever it was before, at least on my list.

Wow labtrash, you’ve rated 2375 Movies and have an 87% similarity to me.

We seem to have amazingly similar taste.

Finally got around to adding **Sassy**. I’ll be the “Chris” that appears on your list. 😛

Anyone else I don’t have yet? I think that might be everyone (well, in this topic) 😕

I just rated _Brick_, which I watched over the weekend – and noticed that I’ve rated exactly 1500 films.

I’m tempted to stop rating for a bit – it’s such a nice, round number.

Finally, finally, finally added **Susie Derkins**. 😛

My friends list is filled up again.

**Labtrash** is still number one but he’s followed close by **What Exit** and **Hockey Monkey**.  
ETA: I recently switched over to the highest plan they have, eight at a time.  
I’m going through these things like wildfire. :eek:

It says $47.99\* but it’s probably just a bit more than that with taxes and stuff.  
\*A month, for anyone not familiar with Netflix.

Ohhh, beat me anyway. 😛  
Too bad I missed the edit window.

ETA: Flat fee? My butt. I’m always paying a bit more than just that standard price. It’s about a dollar or two more… 😕
