A Pinch of Paprika

I've gotten a couple of curious e-mails from Amazon.com in the last few months, suggesting that they were using data mined from Netflix. Their "recommended for you" lists were a little too on the nose, especially considering my seemingly random viewing habits (as of writing this, the last few movies I watched included a SyFy original, a low-budget horror flick, a 1970s police drama, an oscar-winning war story, and a Thai martial arts movie). Any doubt that they were doing this evaporated when I received an e-mail suggesting that I may be interested in animated titles. Instead of the modern standards like The Simpsons, Family Guy, and South Park, or classics from Disney, Warner Brothers, or Hanna-Barbera, I recieved a list of somewhat obscure anime titles like Tekkon Kinkreet, Redline, and Paprika...all of which had passed through my Netflix queue in the last four months.
