Renting a picture show used to stand for a quiet night in with your meaning other , or a important amount of alcohol . But these day , virtual warfare has broken out over Netflix queues , threaten to destroy relationships .
The New York Times did some hard - hitting fact-finding coverage and found out that cleaning woman like movies with Hugh Grant and emotions , and man like movies with Samuel L. Jackson and explosions . With couples share a Netflix story , suddenly digital sabotage is a practicable direction to maintain these rigid measure of gender roles . So wifey ordered The English Patient , eh ? Just move that down to number 78 in the queue and bump your favorite , Face / Off ( star John Travolta as Nicolas Cage and Nicolas Cage as John Travolta ) up to the top . She ’ll be none the wiser !
But then your wife might discover your treachery , and kick downstairs Face / Off for something even less masculine , possibly have Sandra Bullock or Kate Hudson . This will not endure !
you may see how this queue - wrestling could turn into straight-out peaceful - aggression ( aggressive - passion ? No , that sounds blistering , not deleterious ) . Luckily Netflix has a way to split an account called profile , so you could get an adequate dose of shit blowing up and wizardly handsome actors being liberal and magic . I venture the Times could n’t tell all the sad couples they interview about this feature because then they ’d all be happy and there ’d be no article . [ New York Times ]
