Poll question: The Constant Gardener.
Edited on Mon Mar-12-07 02:42 PM by tk2kewl
The Constant Gardener has created a bottleneck in my Netflix list. I have had it for weeks and have yet to watch it. What should I do?

1. If I have one from Netflix that I just dont get into to mood to watch
while I have it, I send it back, I can always put it back on my queue later.

6. It lost me. I gave up & never watched the last 45 minutes.
Do I need to re-rent it ? :shrug:

11. I didn't know there was a book.
Maybe that is the better thing for me to do, because I avoid movies like this sometimes because visual images stick in my head alot more tenaciously than things that I read...which isn't always healthy for me.

10. I've got one of those
I've had All The King's Men for 2 weeks, but I think I will watch it.

Hotel Rwanda I could not bring myself to ever watch and just sent it back.

Constant Gardener is quite good, watch it!

12. I delayed on it, too, never in the mood. Glad I was once I finally watched it.

13. Send it back
Found that movie tedious. Everyone was so low key (Ralph Fiennes especially seemed to suck the air out of the room).

15. I bought the damn thing.
And put it aside for about 5 months. Finally watched in on Sat. in fits and starts. Bleh. I found the thing to be tedious and pretentious. Send it back IMHO.
