Dererk, if "AAMof" Netflix ONLY uses "very long wait" to denote
"out-of-print" or "acquisition-pending", could you please explain why
ALL of these movies I mentioned earlier.......

......are STILL coming up "very long wait" on my queue?

Okay, 48 hours are up, and all four new releases still say "very long
