^ I read that originally as "We fight the losers!" Now I am disappointed :( I wanted Fight Club.

I prefer that it just plays instead of showing you the selection because I would be inclined to skip whatever came up if I didn't like it :P

I still say we all settle this with fisticuffs. Everyone enters, one man leaves. Hopefully its Motz; cause if not, I dunno who's gonna program the damn thing.

could there just be a setting that you can turn the automatic play on or off so both sides are happy?

Seems to me if it is going to be "random movie",then it should
basically be a play all and then shuffle function like in the music library.
That way it would be like having your own local movie channel that plays
until you stop it.
You could always skip one if you don't want to watch it.

An option seems like the best of both worlds to me. Thanks Motz!

So it looks like from the poll what I will do is leave on the "play immediately" option, however in the settings there will be "Random Details" option which you can turn on and it will go to the details page first :)
