I wouldn't be surprised if they moved all those Fox shows to Hulu and kept them there.

Stop trying to make Hulu happen. It's never going to happen.

Netflix Enters Original Programming with David Fincher's House of Cards
Lazlo posted something about this in the TV Discussion Thread, but I thought it was interesting enough to put over here. This is pretty huge. It'll be interesting too see how they pull this off.

Video streaming juggernaut Netflix is becoming an original programming player. In what is probably the biggest gamble in its 14-year history, I hear Netflix has outbid several major cable networks, including HBO and AMC, for Media Rights Capital's drama series House of Cards, executive produced and directed by David Fincher and exec produced by and starring Kevin Spacey.
Negotiations are still going on, but I hear Netflix landed the drama project by offering a staggering commitment of two seasons, or 26 episodes. Given that the price tag for a high-end drama is in the $4 million-$6 million an episode range and that a launch of a big original series commands tens of millions of dollars for promotion, the deal is believed to be worth more than $100 million and could change the way people consume TV shows.
That sounds really cool. It's too bad their stock dropped 6% and now that they have competition, they're apparently inevitably going out of business.
Yeah, Netflix has been incredibly resilient to pressure from studios and competitive services so far. I remember a lot of people thinking that the Blockbuster machine wouldn't let Netflix grow and prosper, and look how that turned out.
Did you guys know that Crunchyroll.com has a channel on Roku? Tons of free, SUBBED anime.
Awesome.
It's too bad I hate my roku because it doesn't stay on through HDMI. :frustrated:
TWIN PEAKS!
I noticed Southland Tales was on NIW today. For anyone who was too put off to risk spending money on the film. Give it a shot -- at the very least I can guarantee you haven't seen anything like it.
Peter Watkins' Culloden is now available.
Got a note today that The Conversation is now available for streaming.
