Did not like. It was enjoyable seeing Stringer Bell back in action though.

He's also in Luther, a BBC crime drama show on Netflix.

It really is fantastic. I also really like the one with the bank robbers. Every episode has good laughs, but those two loving slay me. I love that goddamn show.

Seasons 13 and 14 of South Park just went up. They've been free on the internet forever, but I've never really liked watching poo poo at my computer desk, so for me this rules.

And wow...The last 90 seconds or so of the Kanye West/fish sticks episode is one of the best things they've ever done.

In the past they've added them right before or right after the next season debuts. Since they both just ended a season you're probably going to have to wait a while or get Hulu Plus.

Looks like Below comes off Instant on 6/15 (next Wednesday). It was written by Darren Aronofsky and I've heard good things about it. I keep meaning to watch it, I'll make sure I put it at the top of the queue so I don't forget again, and try to watch it this weekend.

We experienced the same thing so we reduced from the three-at-a-time plan down to the single disc plan. We also ditched cable a while back and haven't watched broadcast television in months. $10.49 per month total for our TV watching :hehe:

Thanks for being awesome, Netflix!

Throwing another huge recommendation out there for SANTA SANGRE. I admit, it starts a little slow and you can't really tell where it is going, but it is truly one of the greatest film I have ever seen. I've just never seen anything like Jodorowsky's films. I'd seen the Holy Mountain some time ago and loved it, but this is something else altogether. If you like anything violent, weird, disturbing, mind-bending, and bizarre, you will love this film.

BASIC SYNOPSIS: A young boy who travels with his family's circus helps his mother, an amputee who leads a blasphemous cult, seek revenge on those who have wronged her in a bustling city full of transvestites, pimps, drug addicts, deformed people, and classical theater performers.

We're on the one-disc plan, but they recently screwed something up at their end and started sending us discs before getting ours back. Not more than one at a time, but either someone at the warehouse is getting over-eager or they just started assuming we're gonna keep the same rhythm up.

Most days I fear we're living in the Wild West of the internet and this will all come crashing down soon with various anti-neutrality paywalls and exclusivity deals.

Chalk me up as another who hasn't watched a Netflix DVD in ages. I think The Kids Are Alright has been sitting on my bedside table for about 2 months.

I'm still on the 2 disc plan, I like to get 1 disc of a TV show and 1 movie at a time. Although I usually have each disc for 1-3 weeks.


Also in case anyone is considering getting Huluplus to supplement netflix, they still have ads on the TV shows. Its really annoying. We have a free month of it and none of us want to keep it.

I disagree, I bought it after the seven day free trial. 60 seconds worth of ads and eight bucks a month is a small price to pay to get The Daily Show, Colbert Report, up to date Parks and Rec and 30 Rock.

VVV A lot of shows are available for free on various websites but a lot of people (myself included) hate sitting around the computer to watch TV.

There are definitely reasons to get H+ for $8/month, but Daily Show and Colbert are both available for free on their respective websites.

I canceled Dish in January and have been using Hulu Plus since then without many complaints. Commercials are short and you cant really beat it for $8 a month. I'd recommend a Roku player to anyone if you want a ton of other free poo poo to watch.

Also started watching Blue Velvet last night. I've always heard it was a really good movie but so far I've found it incredibly boring. Maybe it is just Lynch because I fell asleep during Eraserhead.

Yes, we have it on our PS3. I have a 360 but I'm not sure its on that. Probably is though.


The commercials just bug the poo poo out of me, maybe its because I haven't watched actual TV since Lost ended. We never got cable when we moved here 2 years ago, its been all netflix. I think the most annoying part of the commercials is they slip one last one in just before the credits when theres about a 30 second clip left after the show ended. I don't think they have them for movies though.


Edit: theres stuff you can't watch on hulu for ps3? Are you sure you went to the view all part of the browse menu? I haven't used the actual website so I don't know whats missing.

Hulu Plus works on PS3, 360, and Roku. The only thing I've seen that needs to be watched on a computer is Community which isn't available anywhere else streaming anyway.

I've had Pineapple Express for closing in on 3 months. I don't know why I haven't watched it, it's just sitting right next to the DVD drive and I don't put it in. And there are movies on my DVD queue that I actually do want to see.

My problem is that I select my next DVD when I'm in the mood to see that movie. By the time it gets there, I'm no longer in that mood and want to see something else.

Why the hell are they making me mouse over and wait over every film to see its rating? It really is just awful. It should revert to the old view if it detects you are browsing from a desktop OS.
