River ,'Ariel'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Alibelle, I don't think there's an obvious signal of "we don't carry this disc at your local warehouse" -- you just have to guess based on how obscure the movie is. But there is a query/feedback email, hidden in the FAQ menu.
I bitched at them just 2 weeks ago, about how, after Christmas, it suddenly took 2+ business days to ship anything at all to us, when before Christmas it had been usually same day. They sent me a fairly standard reply, but the shipping is faster again.

Well, the dvd's in question were the Alias season two ones. I didn't think they'd be so obscure I would need to have them mailed from Flushing, NY to LA.
But cool. I'll go find that link.
Ali, there's a "contact us" link at the bottom of the page at the Netflix site.
Alibelle, you can stop reading now.
Here's a nice little blog post about how great Groundhog Day is. Apparently it's the most spiritual film of all time.
A recently discovered "lost" Swanson/Valentino silent film is being released!
I got the Ultraviolet DVDs for Christmas, and posted about them here: dcp "Natter 31 But Looks 29" Dec 27, 2004 9:00:37 pm PST
If anyone wants to borrow them, email to my profile address.
Thanks, Beverly!
Thanks for the warning, P-C. Unfortunately, the blue writing caught my eye first.
Why the hell do we talk about this movie every week? If not every day? I mean, geez. Yes, today is Groundhog Day, but we've been talking about the movie for FOREVER. And the irony of that is not lost on me.
For all definitions of irony that mean what I think it means, of course.
So far this week I've seen:
Kissing Jessica Stein. Didn't like it. Jessica was annoying and unlikable (liked Helen, though). Found the premise unbelievable, given what we knew about the character.
Ray. Not as good as I'd expected, but good. I guess Jamie Foxx was good, but as I don't know much about Ray Charles, I'll have to take everyone else's word for it when they say he was a great Ray Charles.
I tried to watch Ray, but the DVD wouldn't play. Very aggravating.
I just got back from seeing The Aviator, I missed the first 10-20 minutes and was wondering if anyone can fill me in.
