After looking at different country's Netflix offerings with ad free time, you can tell HBO, Cinemax and Starz really take a chunk out of US movie rights. Hell the Wolf of Wall street is on Mexican Netflix FFS. US Netflix will get that 2 days short of never.

I know you can use a browser extension to access other country's Netflix, but has anyone figure out a way to do it on a PS3 or other device?

Since this is the only Netflix thread I Will ask here, sorry if is not the place lol.

Is there any reason why Netflix stopped streaming 1080p out of nowhere? Last week it was on all shows and at all times went up to SuperHD all the time, now I can barely go up to 720p if Im lucky, my conection is the same, I make tests, everything is fine.

This is a pain in the ass since I just payed 2 months lol, is possible that Netflix servers are crap or is something on my end?

Instructions Not Included/No Se Aceptan Devoluciones(why the heck can't they just translate the name properly?) was really good went a bit long (the begining has way too many uneceessary parts) but a good heartfelt movie with a
sad ending

The Killing Season 4 benefits from not having the restriction of being on cable TV. It's pretty enjoyable.

The Killing S1-4 all benefit from the streaming format. The way the show is crafted is perfect for binge-watching, but the cliffhanger after cliffhanger format made it frustrating for weekly TV.

I'm with Sunshine. I liked the movie for the gross shock factor. The sequel was good if you liked the first. They are making a third one, right?

Trying to sit through Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Ebert was awfully enthusiastic about it when he was still with us, but, uhm..... It's not very good.

I skipped through it (
long story but my wife is a bit weirded out by too much sex on tv so I wanted to make sure there weren't too many long or explicit sex scenes)
and it didn't seem that titillating to me, seemed pretty dark and intense though. I really want to see it, not sure about the mrs though.

Salamander was a good Belgian crime/conspiracy series.

Thale was an interesting Norwegian fantasy. "While cleaning up a bloody crime scene, two buddies encounter a captive creature of Norwegian myth: a beautiful mute female with a tail".

Per a post by another Gaffer in the Doctor Who S8 thread, The Day of the Doctor (50th Anniversary Movie) and The Time of the Doctor (Christmas Special) have been added to the US region under S7.

I checked myself and can verify it's there. Must have been a stealth addition.

Fucking awesome. I'm marathoning Doctor Who right now with the girlfriend so she can catch up. Glad I don't have to spend money on those or watch the ad filled Hulu version.

Looks like they also added Planet of the Dead (S4) and A Christmas Carol (S5) as well.

So they finally have the entire New Who catalog.

Edit: Well minus any webisode type stuff.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.

It's pretty poor. The only reason it got any attention was due to the visual style. It's just so bland.

So I watched both of the Nymphomaniac films in 1 sitting yesterday, hard to say what I think of it but it did keep me interested during the whole movie.

It indeed was pretty dark, the ending was not only unexpected for me but sad as well.

And because it rained all day long I also watched some more EPs of The Americans, very good! Got up to ep9 so far.

Frozen available on Dutch Netflix.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Yay!

I actually really like the Dutch Netflix, it is much better than I expected when it would release here. I still make plenty of use of the rest of the regions of course, but there is fun stuff on there.

EDIT: Both Dutch and English dubs are available there too. Only Dutch subs.

Watched the Flashpoint Paradox (DC Comic movie)

Really good, condensed and explained a pretty complicated story much better than I thought they'd be able. Obviously had a few changes as the Flashpoint story was to change the DC cannon.

I HATE how the Scandinavian netflix don't have english subs :( (I like subtitles because I'm for some reason horrible at picking up proper nouns in a lot of movies (especially fantasy and sci-fi stuff where they just make up words)

Don't mind it on the Latin American ones because I speak spanish but it sucks there.

I also always watch with English subs (well, in this case I can live with Dutch). Although at least animated movies aimed at a younger audience are usually a lot easier to follow and understand, so I could probably watch that without subs too.

I understand just some things I miss for example they keep calling this guy 'thawne' but I couldn't really understand what they were saying because it was such a weird name.
