Is balls good or bad? 'Cause I like the way it looks when the page loads, but the functionality is awkward and frustrating.Quote:

I see what you did there. It's funny cuz you have an eye in your avatar. Very clever. I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter and/or blog.Quote:

I am over 4 minutes in and the picture is working fine. Now 5 minutes and it's still working. I'd say the problem is either on your end, or has been fixed by Netflix in the last hour.Quote:

You know, in case you wanted to watch it again.
Did you send them a message? They actually do respond to those. Eventually.Quote:

The four stars is more for the play rather than the movie that captures the play. But no other rating really makes sense for this experience.
Yeah, I liked it alright when I saw it back in '07, definitely more for Reilly than the film. This is what I briefly wrote:Quote:

Star Trek, The Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise just appeared on instant with no warning!
No Deep Space Nine, though. Deep Space Nine fans can suck it.
Edit: Apparently, only seasons 2 and 3 of the original series are available on instant. Kinda weird.
Yeah, I don't disagree with you here. It would have been great to have a Jonathan Demme-like approach to the source material. Something like Swimming to Cambodia. But Reilly's monologue was extremely powerful and poignant. I'm glad it was captured at all.Quote:

Plan 1: Unlimited Streaming (no DVDs) for $7.99 a month
Plan 2: Unlimited DVDs, 1 out at-a-time (no streaming), for $7.99 a month.
The price for getting both of these plans will be $15.98 a month ($7.99 + $7.99). For new members, these changes are effective immediately; for existing members, the new pricing will start for charges on or after September 1, 2011.
I don't use the DVD option often, but I'm kinda glad its there. Considering it costs them pennies to stream movies, $16 a month seems expensive.
UGH. Hardly worth the trouble anymore.
There's a reason for it. Studios are starting to catch on that Netflix is just too good of a bargain for consumers. Sony already started pulling their movies off it.
Next year, Netflix's contracts with the major studios will lapse and they'll have to renegotiate to extend. It's already been speculated that the studios are going to hardball Netflix into paying ten times the licensing cost because streaming has so much more value these days than when Netflix first started negotiating with them a few years ago. Which will no doubt fall on the subscribers. I wouldn't be surprised if Netflix streaming alone will be $15-20 after that.
I remember reading Netflix got some great licensing deal way back when ... and Comcast pays like $300 million for the same rights. :lol:Quote:

Seems like a great way to push people back towards piracy.
I'm going to cut my service down, but I can't decide between InstantWatch and DVDs. Great selection by mail or shitty availability with immediacy?
By the way, another thing that's making me paranoid? AT&T is eyeing to buy Hulu. Oy.
