Netflix review II

This might be the best Netflix review I have ever seen. Some people really know how to bring the crazy.
"I think the movie is unbelievably real. It was a common practice at the time to carry human waste from one side of the village to the fields, then splash the waste around the corps as fertilizer. Well, maybe that explains why I cannot make myself a fan of "organic food". I think the film's director left out the girls and the women in these back-breaking scenes carefully enough not to upset his viewers, instead, he gave them a beautiful aura for the sake of art. I was 13 and a girl, carrying one bucket of waste with another girl. You'd be damned if you walked in the front and going downhill, you'd be damned if you walked in the back and going uphill. So we always ended up with waste spilled all over us. If the whole village was doing it, you'd be doing it just like the village people - nothing special - except they were so skilled that nothing spill over them. Naturally, I contracted hepatitis A, and multiple episodes of severe gastrointestinal disorders, physically under-developed but gained remarkable inner strength. Most interestingly, the villagers soon found out what my doctor parents could and could not do - it was just like the movie - layers of people circled around my folks with whatever ailments they had. After my father delivered our village Chief's baby boy and stopped his wife's massive bleeding - he gave my parents the permission of not working in the fields but practiced medicine in our hub."
Thanks for sharing!

Netflix review

Sometimes when I'm considering adding a movie to my Netflix queue I like to read the reviews of other people to see what they have to say about the movie. There are some real gems out there. In honor of all the people who post Netflix reviews I now present to you the best Netflix review I have ever seen. It doesn't matter what movie it's for, just read it and enjoy!
"I haven't seen this anf if, as it now states in small print that it is titled, I will not watch it as I haven't the three other titled films. You should note in - large --- letters when it is subtitled. Please send me the english version of this film. Please put in the film description when the actors will not be speaking Eniglsh as I do not speak French. Also, when talking to your customer service, they stated I had 7 ?? movies in hand? I do not. Please advise which ones you state I have please and see if we can clear this up. Thank you. By the way. I hope you win your suit against Blockbuster"

They wrote another one later too!
"Since you do not reply to anything I write, I am checking other places to get movies!! I have stated many times trhat you do not state clearly, foreign films, I believe 4 of. Also, one of them was empty, another scratched, which was replaced. Now, I have none at all??? I will bet you have many more like me. I guess your getting to big?At this time, paying for 3 movies at a time, I have none in the house???"
This was about a movie named "Touchez Pas au Grisbi". How could they have known it was foreign with a title like that? I love people.
