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.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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.

I have zero envelopes is the problem!

Hey. New board.

I think in that case, Sophia, you have to put them in an envelope of your own, and shell out for the postage. There are instructions in the FAQ on Neflix somewhere.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh well there you go again, Gris, being all reasonable and stuff!

Compassionately intolerant

Fili and Kili

I'm thinking, the lack of prosthetics is a blatant ploy to bring all the wimmin to their yard.

I could not imagine them wasting Aiden's fan appeal by covering up those smoldering good looks.

Now. It all makes sense.

I just re-listened to the Hobbit. At no point is it suggested that Fili and Kili look different (read: hotter or more human) than the others.

In fact, this sort of ticks me off. It will distract me from the story.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I might cancel Netflix. I'm not sure. Boo.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am actually wondering if service could be bundled or something. Like cancel the streaming subscription one month and pork out on dvds, then cancel that and move back to streaming?
