Ditto...which is why I always end up with something I hadn't requested in a while, when I really want is at the bottom.
Along those lines, has anyone watched Fringe? A friend said I'd love it. Not sure what to expect.

Bleh indeed for Tron. I knew I was going to be disappointed going into it but the plot was even thinner than I might have imagined. Gorgeous visuals, though. I could probably watch it again just for the visuals. But every part of the plot has been done a thousand times over. They really missed an opportunity to take this genre to a different place while still staying true to the original.

My thoughts exactly. I set my expectations realistically low but I was blown away by how crappy it was.

I don't know how the movie was...fell asleep while watching it. :wink:

Do you have Netflix streaming to a decent-sized TV or do you just rent DVDs through the mail.
I love the three Sergio Leone Clint Eastwood movies. The Ennio Morricone soundtracks are amazing. The way Leone builds suspense with extreme closeups was ground-breaking. His character actors with the weathered faces are some of the best I've ever seen in film.
Yeah we stream through our Wii but we only have a mobile hotspot for internet so connection isnt that great.
Yeah have to agree with you on the actors and I will definitely be checking out some more eastwood films

In case you have an android phone, you can now stream Netflix to it!

Note, it's limited to certain phones, but there is an .APK you can download that removes the restriction. I've had some issues though getting it working on my Thunderbolt.
I'll see if I can find the link for the APK that works on all phones.

Watched "I Spit on Your Grave" (2010 version) last night. Pretty graphic. I wouldn't say it was a great movie, but it was good if you're into that sort of thing. I've never seen the 1978 original, but the plot sounds similar.
I watched Glee last night, which I have never seen before. It actually was pretty good. I'm not into all the singing and dancing but the dry humor I enjoyed.

Netflix sharing = crime
...in Tennessee as of July 1:
State lawmakers in country music’s capital have passed a groundbreaking measure that would make it a crime to use a friend’s login — even with permission — to listen to songs or watch movies from services such as Netflix and Rhapsody.
The bill, which has been signed by Gov. Bill Haslam and takes effect July 1, was pushed by recording industry officials to try to stop the loss of billions of dollars to illegal music sharing. They hope other states will follow. The legislation was aimed at hackers and thieves who sell passwords in bulk, but its sponsors acknowledge it could be employed against people who use a friend’s or relative’s subscription. ***

I signed up for Netflix streaming over my Wii so now I'm watching the entire X-Files series in order.
That's ridiculous, but it's probably almost impossible to enforce anyway. How are they possibly going to know who is doing that?

That's a pretty naive statement.
Netflix knows every movie you've ever streamed and the IP address you used to stream each movie. Your ISP will happily tell them the account holder that goes with the IP address. The big media houses like Sony are putting up trojan BitTorrent servers to capture the IP addresses of people who are stealing new release movies.
The federal government intercepts traffic going to offshore kiddie porn sites and gets court orders to search PCs for kiddie porn. That's an automatic 3 year jail sentence.
I completely stopped stealing media over the internet 3 or 4 years ago as they started stepping up enforcement and put more teeth into the laws. It's really stupid to do it when you can rip a rental Netflix DVD in a few minutes or borrow somebody's audio CD to duplicate it. A terabyte hard drive is now $65.00 so it's not like it's a big deal to grab things.

Wow, I finally watched a movie so depressing that it pushes even my love for tragedy and human suffering in film past its breaking point. Biutiful. Amazing film by one of my favorite directors. Gut wrenching story of despair and misery with no redemption whatsoever (just feeble attempts that just make things go from bad to worse). I've never been so moved by a film in which I didn't care about a single character. Can't say I'd watch it again though, it is missing something... but I suppose it is missing intentionally.
What I meant was how do they know who is watching the movie. If I have a Netflix account and go to my friends house and sign into his computer with my account to stream a movie, and I am there watching it, is that against the TOS?
Different IP's dont necessarily mean different people...

I'm thinking of renting Unknown with Liam Neeson. Preview looked pretty decent.

Not from what I can see...but it counts against the number of activated devices that you can have.
I was just checking the Netflix rules because I want to extend my subscription to my son when he goes to school in the fall. Looks like you can have multiple devices and can watch on more than one at the same time if you have the right plan:
