I like Netflix, so it is with a heavy heart that I take a small, critical nip at the hand that feeds me my Deadwood episodes.

I use the Netflix web interface quite a lot, and I know my way around it. (That's pronounced "expert user".) I usually add several DVDs to my queue at once, so whenever I add a movie there's basically a zero percent chance that the next thing I'm going to want to do is be cross-sold on some random items. The "Add to queue" pop-up dialog experience is certainly information rich, but its also slow and disruptive.

So every time I add a movie, I click "Add" and then I wait an eternity (okay about 2 seconds), and then I always click close. Always.

The click-the-stars movie rating interface, by contrast, is delightful. There is no perceived latency, its unobtrusive, and I can go right on doing whatever else I was doing. Why can't adding an item to my queue be like that?

Come on guys, at least give me a "never show this dialog" checkbox, or a config option in the account panel. You know who you are. :)
