The Last Unicorn spam
 
Is anybody else getting weird e-mails from a Mr. John Lindsey, recommending "The Last Unicorn", among other DVD titles? Is John Lindsey a member of this board? The content of his spamming e-mails seem to be generated from my online collection list, because he mentions titles which I actually own. The messages say "since you liked ------, you may also enjoy watching ____." It seems like a very intelligent marketing bot, perhaps sent from Amazon.com, because many of the titles he/it mentioned, I had purchased from Amazon. I'm not sure why he keeps recommending The Last Unicorn; possibly he is connected with the studio. He seems knows nothing else about me except which discs I've purchased. I've been getting these e-mails for almost two years. Weird. Anybody else experience this?

Nope...the only email I have ever gotten about it was when Amazon sent me a message that it was available for pre-order.

Did the spam mention that the DVD is pan & scan? Because it is. :(

If you have a region-free player, an anamorphic version can be gotten at Amazon.de.
