NutFlix

Did we need more proof that Netflix is nutty? Here's their latest recommendation for me:

UNIQUE FOR YOU
Contento, we think you might enjoy:
Jimmy Carter: Man from Plains
Our best guess for you 4.6
Customer average rating 3.4

Allow me to paraphrase NetFlix' crack team of annotators:

This too-intimate portrait of Billy Carter's brother soft-sells the worst ex-president-ever's despicable justification of Palestinian-Islamobarbarism while shadowing him on his shadowy national book tour. During this episode of his endless publicity scam, the peanut farmer is accused of being a liar, bigot and anti-Semite. Why state the obvious? Or make a movie about it? Don't ask me; ask director Demme. But it's Miss Lillian's son's smarmy responses to the observations that reveal to the discerning ear that the Deliverance state nail-hammerer is indeed a liar, bigot and anti-Jew. If he speaks, he lies.

The NetFlix recommendation is based on my interest in:

The Grocer's Son
Rabbit-Proof Fence
Elite Squad
Little Miss Sunshine
Amelie
The Last King of Scotland

I could comment on each of those films but tonight I'll simply note that unless NetFlix is comparing Carter to the racist Branaugh in Rabbit-Proof Fence -- and I don't grant them that much connect-the-dots acumen -- none of these movies has anything to do with any other on that list and less to do with the malicious peanut farmer and former governor of the former penal colony for British debtors. How NetFlix links these films to Carter and the Carter film to me tis a puzzlement.
No, obviously "we" don't think over there at NetFlix. Haven't we mentioned before that they need to tweak their algorithm?

What the heck, I can comment on these films:
The Grocer's Son: French: C'mon. Nicolas Cazale resents his dad as well as anyone. Le Clan. Le Grand Voyage. Le Needisaymore?
Rabbit-Proof Fence: Australian: A perfect movie. David Gulpilil. Did I say perfect?
Elite Squad: Brazilian: Rio. Favela. City Of God. City Of Men. And: Wagner Moura ... what else do we need to know?
Little Miss Sunshine: Hollywoodian: Paul Dano. Not sure I approved, but it made me laugh.
Amelie: French: Audrey Tautou ... really, again, what else do we need to know? Audrey Tautou. Can't say that enough.
The Last King of Scotland: British: James McAvoy was robbed. He should have received the Oscar. Not Forrest Whitaker. And what? You never watched Shameless on BBCAmerica or now on Sundance? Losers.
