I have noticed that I guess everything on Epix is also on Netflix. So maybe they are doing the typical premium cable thing with the Bond license where it is on the network for like two months, and then goes away, and then comes back. Just not really embracing the format of subscription Internet services and keeping the old model of traditional premium cable.

A question I do have about the economics of Netflix.
So I am aware that Netflix pays said distributor a certain amount of money to have their shows on the service. Do those individual films get a percentage of the money made through subscribers based on the amount of views they receive? I would also ask the same of Netflix original series. Is each season a one time payment, or does the amount of people who watch House of Cards for example determine more money to the producers of said series? I doubt anyone knows, but these are the economics of the service that I find compelling.

I think in the past years it was one lump sum for a bulk catalog of content.
They haven't ever really discuss it to be honest. It is probably a combination of one sum and per stream/hours/views. As they are dealing with various different content holders and different ranges of popular/not-so-popular content.

Netflix's Original (they brought the streaming rights) anime series, Knights Of Sidonia, is set to premiere July 4th. Trailer here.

Hmm that came out of nowhere. Looks very interesting, the success of Attack on Titan must have propelled them to purchase more/newer anime.

Neat. You can save it to your list already.
I really wish Netflix had an option where they'd put a list all option then all the content was on one list. Then any time you seen the movie or the entire season of the show it'd drop out of that group. Or at the very least make a option where the current sub groups that stuff you already watched on there or rated falls to the bottom keeping content you never seen or rated near the top. As I've been a member this time through for 2 years or so and used Netflix as my cable every month that passes I have to pass through clutter of stuff Ive already seen. Now some might suggest looking on the other regions, but that wouldnt fix the issue of mine as I'd just have a dozen regions with clutter of things Ive seen and still have search to see and discover content.

They just have exclusive distribution for the US.

Adding a couple more from my list that are expiring at the end of the month:
Raging Bull
Dr. Strangelove
Chinatown
The Interrupters
The Central Park Five (maybe? it did say 7/1 but now there's no date anymore)

FYI: http://usa.istreamguide.com/ is another search site like Moreflicks that lets you search across multiple regions, plus it has the added bonus of letting you filter by HD programming. Moreflicks is still a little easier to use, but istreamguide has potential.

In my veins...english subs?
If I'm not mistaken, there will be two versions: one with an all new (English) voice cast and one with sub's.

Like what? Any censorship is likely the doing of the movie studios.
Why would they bother? One example is apparently the The Sexual Chronicles of a French Family. I wouldn't be surprised to see Stranger by the Lake caught soon too...unless it really is studios that do that. I wouldn't really understand the incentive, personally.
Man it has a shitty anime cgi

Stranger by the Lake is censored? I watched it the other week. It's still pretty explicit even if it was.

yeah, I swear I read somewhere that netflix has no control on what versions of the movies they get. if the studio send them a edited version, thats what they get to show.
its been awhile so maybe someone else may have a link to it right or wrong.
Idk I haven't seen the NF version. Just saying if they are censoring, that'd be one to do. Do you still see

NF? Non French? Yes, it does show that.
I don't know. I was sort of relieved they did when I went to see what was left out of the version of Caligula that was on netflix!
Netflix version. Not even kidding, I watched it online like a couple days before Netflix got it. I was surprised.

What about that movie did they censor?

Based on the runtime, Amazon has the same cut. People are complaining there too.
Point taken then. Weird the studios would do that, but glad it doesn't seem to be Netflix.
Speaking of, is the increase in "SDH" subtitles the result of the new rules on customizing and captioning or something? I like that it exists, but personally I liked the old subtitles where every freaking sound wasn't put to text, but for scenes or British movies where it could be hard to hear everything, I liked subtitles. Now though when I was watching Weekend it was too distracting because every sound and movement on screen happening was put to text. I wish NF would make both available.

Yeah, it sucks. Some films have two subtitle tracks, one of which is close captioned. It bothered me for Weekend too. It's a problem that exists even on Blu-ray releases.

Ughhghg I hate that. I've seen the Netflix cut but I didn't know that it was censored :/ Now I have to find the uncensored version or it'll drive me crazy. Argh
Now that I think about it, I recall thinking how "safe" it was for a French film about sex back when I first saw it. The cut version barely has any nudity and most of the sex happens off screen. I should have figured it was heavily edited.
Enjoyed this one, as fucked up as it is.
I half expected someone to get shot at the end

I remember Lawless being a pretty decent movie, if light on character
Under the "Movies" tab at the top left corner, select the "New to Netflix:: Shows Only."
Edit- Click "Browse All", and filter to shows if you want everything.
Search remains Movies only as far as I can tell after doing this.
Edit- Nevermind.
