Movie recommendations are either deeply generic (other movies in the same genre) or deeply personal (recommendations on myriad things apart from genre). Netflix has tried (and imho failed) at the deeply personal style. So I agree with your comment except for the anime avatar aside. I personally don't trust 90% of movie recommendations, even from friends. It has to be somebody who I know has good (for me) taste. I don't think avatar-selection would correlate one way or another with movie-selection :)
