Whoa, wrong thread. Sorry.

so the PS3 streaming app is pretty great! easier to use OS, options to turn on/off commentaries and subtitles and the wait time is like 1/4 of what I'm used to on the xbox. all in all, a massive improvement. This is really going to impact how often i use my 360.

sounds rad. i stream directly thru my blu ray player, would luv an option re: commentaries

also there is something really annoying about the fact that the streaming program on my shitty wii supports search while the xbox app does not.

Oh sweet, commentaries on the PS3? I'm in.
― macaroni rascal (polyphonic), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 16:42 (thirteen years ago) link
i have like no special opinions on ps3. it seems like it's "play" or "stop". how do you get to these options?
― antexit, Wednesday, 20 October 2010 16:45 (thirteen years ago) link
it's on the launch page for the individual film: where you see "play" "more episodes" "rate".not every film has the audio option, but many do.and i should point out that i have not SEEN a commentary track yet, i just read that they were including them.
― Brick Frog! (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 17:42 (thirteen years ago) link
even the addition of regular subtitles/closed captioning would be great, though what i'd really love would be Japanese audio tracks for anime

Did Netflix offer anyone else 2% credit for streaming problems? The amount is stupidly amusing to me.

Hmm, what is up with them lately - second time this month I've gotten that "we're sorry streaming service was interrupted, have some account credit" email
― Nhex, Saturday, 23 October 2010 18:56 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe they're overloaded from the new PS3/Wii updates
yeah, i didn't get to the end of more than a few of those.just the Julia Child parts on Julie and Julia, jumped around through visions of suffering/life of plants/fritz the cat, just the first twenty minutes of Lexx

I heartily recommend the MST3K episode "The Wild Wild World of Batwoman" to everyone with Netflix

I wish I could watch a non-MST3K version of it. I prefer to generate my own inane commentary.
― macaroni rascal (polyphonic), Monday, 25 October 2010 22:21 (thirteen years ago) link
you really do NOT want to watch a non-MST3K version of this movie
― O'Donnell and the Brain (HI DERE), Monday, 25 October 2010 22:22 (thirteen years ago) link
like, I can't imagine anything less fun
well actually pounding spikes into your eyes would be less fun
I dunno, you should see some of the garbage I've enjoyed.

some of these shovelware film descriptions kill me:BRAZIL: 1944 - The plot is set in motion by authoress Nicky Henderson (Virginia Bruce), who has hit the best-seller charts with her latest tome, Why Marry a Latin?

CHASING THE KIDNEYSTONE: 1996 - When his grandfather comes down with a mysterious ailment, young Simon (Torbjörn T. Jensen) shrinks himself to miniscule size and embarks on an odyssey through the old man's body to seek and destroy the culprit: a nasty kidney stone. On his unusual expedition, Simon meets all sorts of curious characters, including a cute little blood cell and an irate bile duct. Vibeke Idsøe directs this inventive children's adventure.

Chasing the Kidney Stone is amazing folks. Definitely worth a peek.And "The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia" (produced by Jeff Tremaine and Johnny Knoxville, yet) was a great doc; I totally grew up around this kinda ghetto white trash and they're pretty wild to visit.
