All those dwarves really look like paintings. I think Kili is the first one where I was very familiar with the actor, though.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As I said elsewhere, a hot dwarf just seems all wrong. He doesn't seem to have any facial prosthesis at all!

The new pricing bites though. Beau uses physical media while I only stream. So one of us is going be unhappy or we double the price.

I guess their plan is to have everyone cancel the DVDs? Must be their plan.
Well, it's going to send me in the opposite direction unless they vastly expand what's available for streaming. I can probably watch everything in my queue that's available instantly within a month of dedicated viewing, but DVD selection is in the low 100s.

They own me. I will never finish my streaming queue. I have 200+ discs, and ~200 queued streaming. Ah, well.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Oh, that blows. Unlimited streaming + 1 DVD out is perfect for us, but not at twice the price.
Grr. Us too. My instinct is just to drop the DVD.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think I am going to drop the DVD.
Does anyone know how to get a new red envelope? I am sitting on 2 DVD's because I have no envelope.

Hey. New board.
Honestly, unlimited streaming + 1 DVD out for $9.99 a month (which is what we do too) is awesome, but WAY underpriced for what you get, in my opinion. I think it's only that price now because when it began, streaming was mostly a curiosity, without enough selection to be worth it. So the pricing was low.
Remember, until very recently Blockbuster was charging $3-$5 per DVD rental. To watch anywhere close to as much content as I watch with Netflix 1 DVD + unlimited streaming would cost me $40+ a month, easily, in that world. We can do one DVD of Friends or an equivalent amount of Sports Night in a day, and often do. I'm willing to pay $16 a month for that.

Sophia,
You can put two DVDs in one envelope.

The one thing that is making me reconsider streaming is that I feel I can get most of the content I watch (documentaries) at other places, such as Hulu, Amazon Prime and PBS.org. In fact, I feel I have watched every single appealing documentary on Netflix already.
