If you haven’t heard by now Netflix is pulling the plug on one of it’s most popular features, Profiles. I for one am a little disgruntled about this. For starters I spent an entire Saturday afternoon separating my sci-fi, action, and anime titles from our main list. Now I will have to do this all over again to get them back in the mix. The whole reason I made a separate profile is so I could get a chance to watch those movies, and Ivy could add whatever romantic movies she wanted without having any disagreements about what movie we’re getting. Since setting up my own profile, I’ve been able to spend less time managing my list too, about 0–5 minutes a week compared to at least 30 minutes a week. Ivy especially appreciates not having to sort through all the “weird crap” that I like to watch just to get the latest season of Nip/Tuck to the top of the list.

When I got the infamous red email yesterday, and Ivy and I read it over. The first thing out of Ivy’s mouth was “Great, now all of your movies will be mixed in with mine again.” and was shortly followed by “Does Blockbuster let you set up separate lists?”

‘Nuff Said.
