I have been a Netflix subscriber since 2003 because I love just setting the order of movies to come – and they just show up in my mailbox.  The problem with the service for me, is I try to get every last cent out of everything I try to turn around the movies as fast as possible so I can make my monthly fee worth while.  I guess I wasn’t the only one with this “problem”.

As you can see - FeedFlix gives you a lot of stats it gets from your netflix account (through an authorized api call).  So, with my 5 years of Netflixing, I am paying about $1.12 a rental.  I thought I was doing pretty good, but 30% of Feedflix users pay less.  CHALLENGE!  =)

It will also let you manage your DVD queue on Netflix as well as give some good overall stats of Netflix like:

• Only 20% of Feedflix users rent Blu-Ray DVDs
• As expected Tuesday is the largest shipment day of DVDs (from the weekend)
• The 1 & 3 at-a-time plans are the most popular
• Most Netflix users keep their DVDs for 7-9 days

The site is still pretty rough, and has some downtime – but I love the idea, and they are constantly looking for new ideas and improvements from their users.

I read today on CNN.com that Kumar (Kal Pen) has made another big career change.  Pen went from a pot smoking college student, to a doctor on house to now the White House!  Pen has accepted a position from President Obama to be a liaison for the arts community and the Asian-American community.  To be honest, I don’t know Pen outside of his movie and TV roles, but I think this is a very interesting pick.

The worst part, is I think we have seen an end to the Harold & Kumar movies.  Unless he is just taking this public service job to get some good material for the next movie – who knows?
