    Why is Mastercard processing money for this movie that contains a rape scene?

    If I search for "streetcar named desire" I want a finder which says "nope, but here's the other work by {Elia Kazan, Tenesee Williams, Marlon Brando, Carl Malden, Jessica Tandy, Kim Hunter}

    Oddly, I don't want "here's the abortive experimental 1970s film shot in Russia by a drug crazed student also called "streetcar"

    But.. from Netflix's PoV, its equally likely I did want that because they know I watch e.g. Luis Bunel films

    So.. how can they know? Answer: they can't. They simply can't get my mood right, all the time. Sometimes, they will do well and guess. Sometimes, they do really badly.

    Another take: How many fans of the british "Office" wanted to be told to watch the American "Office" ?
