Why Netflix? Why?!

I routinely visit Netflix, often just to randomly browse the selection or to see if anything new has been made available for online streaming.  About an hour ago, I was at the site, and I tried to add a film to my queue.  I clicked on add and everything was going as it should, but the normal confirmation window didn't pop up.  Instead I received a message telling me that I had reached 500 films on my queue and could not add any more to it until I either watched or removed some of those movies on my queue.  I was disappointed that there was a limit to my queue, but I guess it's not surprising or anything.

I've been a Netflix subscriber since the fall of 2005, and my queue has never gotten shorter.  Being a film major didn't help.  I would essentially leave each film class with a couple movies to add to my queue, and yadda yadda yadda my queue is too long now.  I've got to find a way to get through all those movies.  I've seriously got at least two years' worth of films in my queue, more if I keep watching at the glacial pace I've maintained the last six months.

I'm almost tempted to not add another film to my queue until I watch every last one that's on there right now, but I don't know if I could do that.  Do you think you could do that, Justin?  It would require immense self-discipline on my part.  Then again, I'm not sure I want to do it.  I know without a doubt that there are amazing films not on my queue.  Why should I prevent myself from watching a great film at any time?  Forget that idea.
