The amount of movies in my queue that are going away tomorrow..... fuck
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
What the fuck is their problem? Can they not afford QA testing or do they just love mercilessly trolling their userbase ala Google via Youtube?
"let's not beta test this change with a control group, just roll it out for all paying customers and make them call up customer service if they don't like it!"

lol...ps3 owners have been subject to this shit in the past
The content we're losing this month and next month is really depressing. My queue is being nearly halved. I almost feel like cancelling.
The last time this much content was lost was with Starz but I didn't care when Starz content went away as their PQ quality was usually shitty.

I got that with another bond too. Roger Moore one about horse racing. Had to turn it off after 5 minutes.

It does look like framerate issues to me. It's watchable, but not perfectly so.

I've seen a lot of them. It might be easier to post what I haven't seen on it at this point...lol. Like you, I will watch them because I love the genre. I'm looking for any hidden gems people may have come across more than anything.
Lol, post the list. I always post this, but it is my favorite, The shrine, was one of the best ones I have seen.
Even that is not as big as it's made out to be. Unless you're really into Nickelodeon or Jersey Shore or The ComedyCentral Roast's or something.

As a follow-up to this, just thought I'd mention that I just received an email from Netflix saying that 2 more seasons of Portlandia have been added and are ready to stream right now.
Hopefully this'll stop my GF from whinging at me, lol.

Those are the ones I found in the horror section that I've watched. It's is not all inclusive but, it's a start. I haven't watched every single one of these on Netflix but, I've seen them one way or another...mostly on Netflix.
My favorites of the genre are vampire, gore, zombie, and supernatural.

It was decent, definitely worth watching. I also really enjoyed The Shrine, Yellow Brick Road, Apartment 143, and Lovely Molly if you're looking to pick from that list.
I noticed The Innkeepers wasn't on your list, if you don't mind a slow burn horror movie with a payoff that some consider on the meh side it's worth a watch.
I at least enjoyed the hour and a half or so.

Cool, I'll check it out.
Damn, you have seen a lot lol. Wait,Tales From the Crypt is on streaming? Are those the movies or the episodes?
Since you have seen the majority of horror flicks, I was wondering if you could put together a top 10 list for the thread? I feel horror, and tv shows are the most frequently asked recommendations.

Yeah, I could put one together. Regarding Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight, Ritual, and Bordello of Blood are all on streaming for me.
Thank you, good sir.
I'm with you on that one. I haven't seen the show since I was maybe a teen. Seems like ages ago.
First time watching it? You are in for a ride if that is the case.

Good luck having a life once you get into it. First or second viewing either.
I know you can buy it on DVD, but dammit I'm lazy.
Thanks!
Yeah, the RT/IMDB integration is...lacking. Right now it just searches RT for a movie with the exact same name and year, but it has to be exact. So, no false positives (which was a huge problem when I launched the site), but a lot of misses because of subtle naming differences (or sometimes the year is off, not really sure how that happens). I need to see if there's a better way to cross-reference my data with RT.

Noooo all of my MTV reality shows
I wish Netflix would implement some kind of content shuffle feature, like a create your own channel thing. You could select a mix of television or movies or both and then tell it what genres you want to see and tell it whether you care if it plays series out of order.
This would be amazing, sort of like create your own television channel.....and of course they'd have to get rid of the 3 episode time out feature also.

They could essentially adapt this storyline, with a few changes and improvements for a live action film-it's that good.
It(they) expire on the 22nd. You have plenty of time.
Nothing on the American stream, here is what was added on the Canadian stream today:
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (Action, Horror)
Less Than Zero (Crime, Drama)
Lucky (Romantic, Comedy)
Rugrats Go Wild (Animation, Family)
Shameless (TV, Drama, UK)
Something Borrowed (Romantic, Comedy)
Strange Days (SciFi, Thriller)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (Classic, Action, SciFi)

Dream Home is an interesting movie to watch if you're into the bloody types.

The movie Adrift wasn't bad (NA).
I watched 8 episodes of Fringe, but I'm not that interested. Recently started watching Mad Men, great show. The Walking Dead is pretty good too.

That would be fantastic. I've been saying you should be able to shuffle specific shows, as well. For example, I could start up Star Trek: The Next Generation and set it to "shuffle" so that it would play random episodes. Presently, you can either pick and choose after each episode or you can let them "auto-play" in chronological order. It's weak.
Movies: (all these happen to be foreign, but I figure people know about the American ones)
1) Outrage. Yakuza movie about struggles between different families in one supergang. All of Takeshi "Beat" Kitano's movies are Yakuza movies as far as I'm aware. I started liking Kitano because of "Brother" (2000), a Yakuza movie where the main character gets in some Yakuza trouble and so he leaves Japan to go stay with his younger brother. He can't escape his mafia ways and ends up getting in trouble in America, too. I recommend "Brother" but it's not on Netflix. But it seems highly influenced by a Russian movie of the same title, which leads to my second recommendation.
2) Brother ("Brat" in Russian). Not to be confused with the aforementioned 2000 Japanese movie, this is the 1997 movie that seems to have inspired the Japanese one. In this movie, the main character has recently has gotten back from serving in the military, and when he goes to find his older brother, the older brother has gotten involved in the mafia, and is in some trouble. In the process of protecting his older brother, the younger brother starts to make a name for himself.
3) Dororo. This is a Manga inspired movie. I don't read Manga but I really liked this movie. The story is fairly original and yet not too complicated. A man makes a pact with 47 demons that if he gives the body of his son to them, they will give him the ability to rule the world. The main character of the movie is the son, whose body was given to the 47 demons. Each demon got one body part. Every time he kills a demon, he gets back the body part that the demon had.
TV Comedies:
1) It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Seinfeld was my #1 show for the past like, 7 years. Thanks to Netflix, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is my new #1. Characters, plot, dialogue. The show has it all. But if you want to watch the 8th season, Netflix doesn't have it. I caved and bought the 8th season on Amazon Instant Video. Can't wait for the 9th season.
2) The IT Crowd. British comedy center on three people who work in an IT Department. The manager of the group is actually computer-illiterate but she convinced an equally computer-illiterate owner that she is good with computers and that's how she got the job. There were only 4 seasons and then it was cancelled, but go watch it! I love the scriptwriting. Moss makes this show IMO.
3) Archer. Great animated series. Sterling Archer is a spy and the owner/boss of the agency he works for (ISIS) is his own mom. As far as his character is, imagine an immature James Bond. Still gets women, but in a fratboy-douchebag way, not with British charm like Bond.
4) Workaholics. A deadpan that is about three roommates who just recently graduated. They are also co-workers at a telemarketing company.

This movie was disturbing.
