Stupid Netflix

Today it was announced that Netflix was pulling a HUGE number of movies and other media from their online catalog. I guess they do this all the time. BECAUSE THE ALGORITHM or something... Anyway, I was deeply saddened to learn that one of the titles that got axed was Gangs of New York. I really wanted to watch it again. But there isn't any time because work volume will suddenly J-Curve this week like a hockey stick as we endeavour to rebuild our HPC cluster in 3 days. As a result, I missed any sort of viewing opportunity. However, I did get an opportunity to watch Netflix's trailer for the movie and I was delighted to see that it featured the scene just before the first big "Gang Fight" when all the gangs allied with the Dead Rabbits got to introduce themselves. It's such a wonderful part because all of the gang names are so horribly stupid by any of today's standards.
