Ooh. Both season 1 of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret and Portlandia.
Also found Best Worst Movie. When did they add that one on?
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Todd Margaret is great and I've been meaning to watch Portlandia. Not sure when they added Best Worst Movie. When I watched it I got it on disc.Quoting number8 (view post)

First Netflix Original Series Trailer for Lilyhammer

There is a TON of great HK cinema on Instant View now. Tai Seng must have released their catalog or something.Quoting EyesWideOpen (view post)
Still can't believe that Green Snake is available.
Rumor: Warner Bros. pushing movie delays from 28 to 56 days for Netflix, Redbox and Blockbuster.
This feels like whatever the "student film" equivalent of a television series is. It tries too hard, the pacing is off, and the humor is awkward.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
...and the milk's in me.
Confirmed. I really can't fathom that these delays help DVD sales. Also, HBO announced yesterday that they would stop selling discounted DVDs to Netflix so Netflix will just have to buy them like you or I. I guess they can't do that with the Warners stuff due to potential future streaming deals with the studio. But still. It smacks of take-my-ball-and-go-home by the studios.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)

In no way does this cause more people to buy the dvds. This action gives people more of a reason to pirate these movies.

Yup. Will more studios follow?
Exactly.Quoting EyesWideOpen (view post)
If I want to watch something I check Netflix, and if it's not on Instant View I'll check Amazon to see if I can rent it for less than $5. If it's not on either of these services, I go to pirate bay. I definitely don't get in my car and drive to the store to buy it.
The studios need to realize that they simply aren't in control any more.
That's my move too, but I'll also check Comcast for HD rentals even if they're way more than Amazon.Quoting D_Davis (view post)
I refuse to give any more money to Comcast than I already do.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Warner Bros. is making a stupid decision. As it was said, this will only encourage piracy.Quoting Lazlo (view post)
Last I heard, HBO is planning their own competing streaming service, which is probably why they pulled support from Netflix.
