This is why we never see Mary.

Mary, you need to queue Cruel Intentions 3 - one of the stars is Jack from Dawson's Creek.

Just wait. You are about to be hit by a cinematic tsunami.

Question for a kindly Netflix user - do they have any of the "Treasures from American Film Archives" discs?

milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Monday, 25 October 2004 21:25 (nineteen years ago) link

NFLX was $35 not even 4 months ago... today <$10. analysts are saying it won't see half that for a long time with dwindling profits and increased competition.

Damn Yankees- High Enough (nordicskilla), Monday, 25 October 2004 21:32 (nineteen years ago) link

In today's email:

Since our price increase in June, some of our members have expressed concerns about the new pricing. We've listened to this feedback and are pleased to inform you that we're lowering the price of your Netflix 3-at-a-time program from $21.99 per month to 17.99 per month.

Sounds like trouble a-brewin'.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Damn Yankees- High Enough (nordicskilla), Monday, 25 October 2004 22:04 (nineteen years ago) link

And Blockbuster is lowering to $17.49/mo. in response...

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 25 October 2004 22:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Amazon's service will be launching in a week or two.

gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 25 October 2004 22:10 (nineteen years ago) link

What of Nicheflix or Greencine? What of the little guy?

Damn Yankees- High Enough (nordicskilla), Monday, 25 October 2004 22:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Amazon is going to have one too, oh my...

identity theftor (deangulberry), Monday, 25 October 2004 22:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Buying into the video-on-demand thing was a mistake I'm afraid.
Amazon's service will be something to see I'm sure.
Poor Netflix. I like them. They'll be around for a while longer I hope.

I'm serious ... Ti-i-i-i-im (deangulberry), Thursday, 30 December 2004 21:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Somehow my list is less impressive than I imagined it might be.

Also many rentals, including the execrable Ordinary People and Dummy, were not my choices.

I'm using LoveFilm in the Uk, If anyone wants recommending, for 4 weeks free rentals for both of us, drop us a line.

Ed (dali), Saturday, 1 January 2005 13:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I just finally joined NF a few weeks ago. I'm so hooked. It excites me just to go look at my queue and anticipate everything that will be coming. And it lets me actually watch the things I rent (something I don't always do when I rent things at the store and then have to rush them back to avoid late fees). Marvy.

gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Saturday, 1 January 2005 19:07 (nineteen years ago) link

The only thing that bums me out about Netflix is the fact that some movies ALWAYS seem to have a Long Wait or a Very Long Wait on my cue. I've been waiting for Infernal Affairs for eons now! Otherwise it's a great service.

What did you think of

Cure?
California Split?
Nine Queens?

california split i loved, even though i can hardly remember a single scene. just hypnotic and typical greatness from segal and gould. you'd love it, adam.

I liked The Cure, but not as much as Suicide Club which I thought it was kind of similar to. California Split was terrible (I don't know why I rented it actually, I hate Elliot Gould and George Segal, but I'd heard it was good. . .) Nine Queens was quite good actually, esp. if you like heist/sting flicks.

I've seen (and enjoyed) all three movies. Watching Life Aquatic, it occurred to me that I'd like to see a pairing of the aging Gould and Goldblum.

BTW if I had to pick ten from this list that should be rented, I'd pick these TEN!

Victim
Pale Flower
The Yakuza Papers
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Rockers
Blackmail Is My Life
Sanjuro
Street Mobster
The Tenant
The Spy Who Came In from the Cold

I've seen Rockers and The Tenant.

My friend Ben is obsessed with Rockers. I have seen it maybe 4 or 5 times, all at his apartment, always high and at about 2 o'clock in the morning.

I'd actually never seen The Rockers. I'd always dismissed cuz of vague Santa Cruz anti-hippy white guy with dreadlock prejudice when I was younger (not that I can fucking talk now, I probably own more roots reggae than all those stoners now.) I felt really stupid cuz it's really really good.

If you haven't seen the other eight movies on there I recommend renting them in this order:

(Tied) The Yakuza Papers
(Tied) The Spy Who Came In from the Cold
Blackmail Is My Life
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Street Mobster
Sanjuro
Victim
Pale Flower
