No, I am kidding. Although, if you know the full range (okay 5 or 10 more) of words for intercourse, from the sublime to the guttural, I'm always glad for a quick lesson.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

My Netflix Top Ten is tv-heavy right now:
Inside Man, Touch the Sound, Arrested Development: Season 3: Disc 2, Brick, Weeds: Season 1: Disc 1, 2046, CSA: Confederate States of America, Band of Outsiders, Weeds: Season 1: Disc 2 , The Office: Season 2: Disc 1.
Although I just realized that they finally re-bought the BBC Bleak House, so I can finish it up. That's going up to the top of the queue.

ita, did you do your genre analysis yourself or does Netflix have a tool somewhere to do such a thing?

I have 500 things in my queue now -- there is NO WAY that I'm going to go through them all.
I may have a French movie in there somewhere or other.

Okay, the highest ranked foreign film I have is at 59. . . still in the first 100. (And there are a bunch of foreign films right around there.)

It would be sweet if they did, but no. I copied the queue table into Excel and ran the subtotalling there after I jettisoned the extra stuff.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
For values of foreign films, are we including Hong Kong or anime? Because I have Ghost In The Shell right now, Iron Monkey at the top of my queue, and for non-anime Non-Hong Kong Barbarian Invasions right below it.

Hmmm. Let's see. With rough translations:
--faire l'amour (the gold standard, "to make love")
--ébats sexuels (sexual relations)
--se faire sauter (to get laid, literally "to get jumped")
--tomber (usually only used with women)
--s'envoyer (to get some)
--se taper (hit that? more "street", also usually only used with women)
--baiser (to fuck)
--niquer (can also be used reflexively to mean "I got screwed" in a figurative way)
My personal favorite? "Une partie de jambes en l'air", which literally means "a round (as in game) of legs in the air".
ETA: Again with the line breaks!
