Throw on a TED talk? Otherwise idk if you want something that isn't too distracting I would choose a nature documentary.

Actually, those TEDtalks sort of look interesting, so I'll keep those for another day. Thanks for that.

In the end I threw on a WWE Documentary. I was going to put Battle Royale on, but then I realised Subtitles, and it's suppose to be a somewhat 'thoughtful' movie.

The Ted talks are expiring at the end of the month.

I dont think it off very long. I wonder how their policy is on letting movies expire and how long they intend to let them be off and bringing them back. For instance Trailer Park Boys expired was brought back very quickly but only for a month, what kind of contract is that? lol

Anytime I see stuff like that, I always assume the content company is the one giving Netflix the hard time.

Anybody recommend good horror/supernatural thriller movies that might have popped up recently on Netflix? My wife and I like checking them out and I think we've exhausted all the ones that aren't complete shite.

Watched Pontypool, Lovely Molly and The Hole (2012) recently.

Resident Evil: Extinction (Canada too)
Twin Dragons
Wild Hogs
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (Canada too)
Fear Dot Com

Sweden/Norway/Finland/Denmark:

Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Collateral
Twin Dragons
Wild Hogs
Boogeyman

If there is enough demand, I will try to do UK/Canada newest streams on a semi-daily basis.

So not worth it
Watched Fat Kid Rules the World with some mates tonight, a funny low budget comedy about a suicidal fat kid (go figure) who is manipulated by a bum punk-rock kid into thinking they're forming a band together so he can freeload off of him. Turned out to be really funny and endearing at the same time. Very enjoyable, definitely worth checking out.

Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet was such a touching and heartbreaking commentary. Jason Becker is still one of my greatest inspirations on guitar. T_T

Anyone who is interested in guitar at all needs to see this. He was such a talented player to have it taken away so young. Cacophony has some killer work on it by him and Friedman.

8 Million Ways to Die was a fun ride (watched it on US Netflix, not sure if its available elsewhere). Great suspense thriller starring Jeff Bridges and Andy Garcia. Has a fantastic cover as well (the IMDB one, not the one they use on Netflix).

Highly recommended, ignore all the bad ratings.

Netflix has decided to make changes to its Application Programming Interface (API). These changes include eliminating the database (called the OData catalog) that Streaming Soon uses to inform you of new and upcoming content on Netflix. You can read more about it here.
Sadly, this means the end of the line for Streaming Soon, unless Netflix reactivates this database. If you would like to send an e-mail to Netflix about this, please direct it to publicapi@netflix.com
Thank you for your support over the years. It has been a pleasure enhancing your Netflix experience.

Sincerely,
Andrew K.

This also explains why Instant Watcher took out their 'Coming Soon' section.

Everyone in this thread should email Netflix. This wouldn't be a big deal, if Netflix itself, provided users with what is coming to their service soon. Or even provided users with a section that actually reflected, what was being added to its service.

The biggest concern I have, is Netflix making another change down the line, rendering 'expiring', and 'just added' sections of other websites useless.

Edit- Just to clarify, the changes were announced a month ago, they have only recently taken into effect.

The sad thing is Netflix is free to do whatever they want just like how Twitter can fuck with their own API too. There just aren't any good alternatives. Amazon Prime still has years to go before it's as good as Netflix. Redbox streaming so far is really bad.

Makes no sense.

Why Netflix? Why?

The worst move will be when they block proxies. When that happens I'll consider cancelling.

In other news, Fringe is a lot darker than I was expecting...

Yup, being dominant can lead to stupid mistakes. I was happy when Amazon was doing their trail run for monthly Amazon Instant. I felt they were finally going to give Netflix a run for its money. Too bad they decided against it.

Proxies have the double whammy of being something media companies can demand Netflix to block.

I could understand if they added their own coming soon section, but why leave everyone in the dark?

It makes zero sense. You can count on one hand the number of sites that use their API(in the US anyway).


In other news, Robotech, and Insidious are expiring on May 8th, and May 9th.

I watched Louis CK: Live at the Beacon Theater. Hilarious. It starts off slow, but it picks up, and is really funny. If you are a fan, you should definitely watch it.

Not knowing what is coming soon is ridiculous. It wouldn't be so bad if the Netflix interface for finding new stuff wasn't atrocious but, it is and this news sucks. I emailed them.

Getting hooked on Fringe, but I've learned not to be eating while watching the opening of each episode. I was trying to eat while watching the one episode where the lady gets pregnant and it goes all Alien on our asses. So gross.

Also, fuck Netflix for cutting off coming soon... everyone should send emails
