Asking people about their movie choice
There was a line attributed to some football coach long ago on the disadvantages of throwing the ball.
"When you pass, two of the three things that can happen are bad," this guy supposedly said.
Well, the same could be said about seeing someone with a Netflix envelope or some other movie packaging and asking that person what he or she watched.
1. The person can name the film and offer a brief thumbnail review.
2. The person can regard your query as a flagrant invasion of privacy.
3. The person can tell you a lot more than you really want to know.
