Netflix: The Main Reason I'd Move To America; To Hell With Healthcare

Take that, The Man.

Browsing U.K netflix is the most frustrating experience I have recently come across. 

"You like Quentin Tarantino? EXCELLENT!...No, we don't have any of those Tarantino films, but we have his most underrated gem 'Four Rooms' for you to enjoy! And also Kill Bill vol. 2! No, not volume 1. Just the second, less good one. 

Yes, of COURSE we have Guillermo Del Toro...'s film 'Mimic', the one that no one cares about, not even it's mum. 

But HEY, you like independent films sometimes, right? Yeah, you do, you little starbucks hipster, and you've come to the right place. In our independent films section you'll notice some totally undiscovered low budget treasures like Slumdog Millionaire, Good Will Hunting and Kevin and Perry go Large!  That'll go nicely with your flat-white and this week's Vice, IRONIC HI-FIVE!

Foreign films? Well of course, mi amigo, how about 'Starship Troopers: Invasion'? No, it's the sequel. Third sequel. Yes, of course it's foreign, the director's Japanese. Well all right, how about this lovely little Dutch film, The Human Centipede? Not working for you? No need to panic; set yourself down, un-sew your mouth from your netherlands and feast your eyes upon EVERY SINGLE BOLLYWOOD FILM EVER!!! Also anime. Lots and lots and lots of anime...."

It feels somehow like being promised a Led Zeppelin gig, only to turn up to see a Justin Lee Collins-fronted Zeppelin tribute band. And all the other members are Justin Lee Collins. And everyone in the crowd is Justin Lee Collins. And you rush to the bathroom for some air only to turn to the mirror and see that yes, you yourself are now Justin Lee Collins.

Having said all that, it's got a documentary about what it's like to be the guy with his hand up Elmo's ass for a living so I'm not quite ready to cancel my month's free trial yet.
