Netflix is finally in America!

Any better news out there?

Here's our chance to show everyone that we actually value paying for what we watch legally.

So, they have three different models. They look to be priced at $8, $10, and $12.

You get the first month free.

Just grabbed the Premium package. It was 12 bucks.

You get Netflix on four devices. You can watch on your PlayStation, tablets, phones, Xbox, or Apple TV. Ultra HD is great.

New shows and movies are out.

Under the Dome, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Saul, Bates Motel, 12 Monkeys, Hannibal, Sense8, and The Originals. All good shows.
You've got the classics too. Dexter, Black Mirror, Arrow, and Daredevil.

There are plenty of movies too: The Matrix, Gravity, Lord of the Rings...

That’s absolutely wild, man!

Netflix is finally here!

Just sign up for the first month free and see for yourself.

I was poking around their site the other day and it said it wasn't even available in the States yet. I'll check again later, but honestly, I don't really care. 😁

Too expensive? 😁

Movie tickets are like $15.
Over here, you get a ton of stuff for just $8.
Watch until you fall asleep.
And streaming services are just going to keep growing.

Hurray!
Netflix!
Going to watch something now.
Signing up takes five minutes tops and then you're set. Just try the free trial and see.

It looks like there aren't even any English subtitles available here 👎

Hold up a second. Why'd you even start this whole thing about PDF movies when there’s already a thread for PDF TV shows? (And you were literally just commenting on that one, too!) Are you just out here giving them free promo for nothing? Like, why?

I agree; this thread ought to be moved, or if it truly is a duplicate, it should simply be deleted.

You could have easily brought this up over in the chat.

That’s not true, they’re there.

What are you watching?

Just look for the little icon in the menu and select it.

quietviper93 said:Hold on. Why did you start a whole new thread just for movies if there’s already a TV thread going (you even commented on that one!)? Are you just promoting them for free? Why?

Like they're much worse than Best Buy?

There are two threads because Netflix offers both series and movies, so more people can see it and sign up. It's info covering both formats.
I don't see why anyone would mind.

And I'm not just spreading the word here; I'll share it everywhere possible. I already sent it out to everyone on my mailing list. I want this option to watch movies and shows legally in America.
If someone doesn't like it, they don't have to sign up. It's very simple.

Plus, someone might be seeing this news for the first time right here.

Alright. But I honestly don't see any point in advertising Netflix — unless that massive global corporation is actually footing the bill for the ad.

People are just cranking up their internet bills for no reason. What is wrong with you people? Seriously, what's the deal?

quietviper93 said:Fine. But I honestly don't see the point in advertising Netflix unless that massive corporation actually pays for the ad.

People are hiking up their internet bills for no reason. What's the deal? Seriously. What is wrong with you guys?

Total nonsense.

Keep it legal, keep it clean, keep it simple.

Edward Price6 said:Stolen, damn it.

Clean slate, pure love, no strings attached.

Man, you could've said that before opening the thread, right? Suddenly "stolen" matters now, huh?

What a total consumerist, capitalist hypocrite you are.

You could have mentioned this on the chat.

Sorry, I'm not on the chat much.

quietviper93 said:You could have mentioned that before starting this thread, right? Guess it wasn't worth saying back then.

Nah, I just stick to my Blu-ray collection at home or hit up the theater.
Haven't really downloaded anything since high school.

Edward Price6 said:Nah, I’ve got my Blu-rays at home and I still hit up the movie theater.
I haven't really downloaded anything since high school, I guess.

So I'm half Italian, my dad's Jewish, and my mom's German. And yeah, I still go to the movies too.

quietviper93 said:I'm half Italian, my dad's Jewish, and my mom's German. I also go to the movies.

That explains it.

That German blood probably should have fixed things though. 😁

😁 So, how many Blu-rays are you guys actually picking up in a year?

I am honestly just itching to hop on Facebook lately to see what all my progressive, ultra-woke friends are saying about the latest hits on Netflix, because apparently, it’s become such a vital social signal to post a status update or check in while you're watching, just so you can position yourself as one of those enlightened, sophisticated individuals who stays ahead of the curve, unlike those basic people who just sit around watching cable or local networks instead of keeping up with every single "you absolutely have to watch this" series that defines modern culture—which, let's face it, is basically just a massive groupthink exercise...

Because truly, nothing screams maturity and intellectual depth quite like binge-watching one series after another in massive marathon sessions, only to spend days or even weeks endlessly lamenting and debating it online until the next big show or season finally drops to distract us...

My generation is honestly just one giant hallucination...

Netflix rotates its library constantly; once licensing deals expire, they pull titles like The Avengers and swap in something else. Their core consists of cheap catalog titles, and that's really all there is—everything else is just temporary.

Fair point, I didn't realize that.
But I see The Matrix, Gravity, The Dark Knight, Argo, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, There Will Be Blood, and Casablanca on there... plus some new Track movies, Pacific Rim, and Man of Steel. It seems like a pretty solid lineup to me. And those are just a few examples.

If things change, it's fine. You watch it, and if you really want to own it, you just grab a Blu-ray, DVD, or a digital copy.

Having a ton of series all in one spot is what matters.

quietviper93 said:You could have mentioned that before starting this thread, couldn't you? Apparently, those old shows weren't worth a damn back then, right?

You are such a consumerist, capitalist hypocrite.

Wait a second—where on earth was I supposed to be watching shows like The Lost Room and Farscape before now?
