Latest Netflix Selection?

[Nick]

Watching the perfect host... So far a definite recommend. I won't spoil it for anyone

The Book of Eli - worth watching once

I recently subscribed to a 30-day trial of Amazon Prime (Xmas shipping). Their HD streaming is much higher quality than Netflix. I watched Speed last night. Too bad their movie selection is so limited.

I liked the Book of Eli.

Anyone watch Breaking Bad?

 

[Geoff]

It looks like most of the James Bond movies are now available on Netflix streaming video

Edited:
Yep. All of them other than the last Pierce Brosnan movie (2002) and the two Daniel Craig movies. I guess the cutoff is 10 year old movies. I own Dr No and Goldfinger. The others are now in my streaming video queue.

Anyone watch Breaking Bad?

Hell yes. In the middle of season 3.

 

[Nick]

Cool, I just saw on eepisode so far. Will keep watching.

I'm finding over time that in general, I much prefer to watch episodic shows vs. typical run length movies.

Any thoughts on the new Netflix accounts: streaming v DVD? Personally, it sux.

Me too. That's the only reason we haven't dumped DVDs from our account. I almost never get movies through mail anymore. Breaking Bad looks amazing on Blu-Ray, although we realized they recently put season 3 on streaming.

They rescinded the split.

 

[Nick]

Good, that was a ridiculous idea

My neighbor tried it and said most of the movies are decades old- many from the '70s. They didn't like it.

1) Me too.
2) It's in my queue.

Agreed. I'm working on Dexter Season 5, which is intriguing so far.

Amazon is really designed as a pay-per-view system. The HD quality blows away Netflix and is on-par with what I get from Comcast for video-on-demand. For most recent titles, it costs the same as renting a Blu Ray from Red Box and you don't have to deal with the hassle of returning it.

Good good good good show. Way better than I expected it to be when I started it.

For all the Nflix bashing - please continue! I shorted NFLX stock mid July when, as a long time customer, I flipped at the news of their latest price increase. This has been even better than short selling any stock related to Uranium the Monday after the Tsunami in Japan. $300 down to $72 per share! They've paid me back all 6 years of subscription fees 8x over. Yay! Yay! Yay! The bastard looks like a dot com implosion of the 90's. Yay!

I'm still working my way through The X-Files series in order on my Netllix streaming. I'm up to season 6 - episode 14.

 

[soposkier]

Highly recommend the "America - The Story of Us" series.

And also Breaking Bad if you do not watch it already. Can be slow at times, but that is the genius of the show.

 

[Dylan]

Oh they did? Then my account is screwed up. I seem to have lost streaming.

my wife billed it as the female version of The Hangover, it wasn't.

Yeah, it definitely was not

My wife and I watch a lot of History, Discovery, Food, Travel...stuff like that. Are those networks on Netflix? I don't need latest and greatest the day after it airs...but fairly current is nice.
