Netflix once again screws over its customers

<< < (3/13) > >>

I honestly am thinking about ditching it, but I am not a movie guy.  Netflix streaming is only useful if you have kids, so you can stream a disney movie or cartoon to it when you are out shopping or at dinner and the kid gets restless.  That, and to watch TV series, if/when they are available.  As a whole, the selection is attoricous, unless you love old and B movies. 

I watch maybe one DVD a month.  I would rather do just about anything than watch a mediocre movie for 1 1/2- 2 hours and honestly, there aren't that many movies that are released that are really that great, and I am not one to watch a movie for nth time...

Redbox isn't an option for me since I used the DVD side of my Netflix account for older movies, obscure movies, foreign movies, and TV shows that aren't on streaming

I love the Netflix streaming selection. They don't have everything, sure, but they have PLENTY of stuff I want to watch.

Donkbaca:
yeah, they have lots of stuff to watch, but the obscure - foreign - non mainstream stuff is obscure and not mainstream for a reason - its largely boring with poor production values. 

I get showtime for the original programming and the combat sports.  I don't watch the old movies over and over again.  I'm busy man, I get like 10 hours of free time, MAYBE, per week. If 20% of that time is wasted watching some obscure, horribly produced spanish film where the big twist is some incestual relationship, it just ruins my week. (as an aside, my wife went on some spanish film kick, started watching a bunch of spanish movies, in ALL of them there was some sort of incestual plot device)

Ginsu Victim:
Most of my foreign films were through the DVD option, not streaming. I knew what I was after, not just some random crap on streaming. Though, the great thing about streaming is you just hit play, then either like it and watch it, or say, "This is crap," and turn it off. Plenty of great documentaries on there.
