Netflix

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I also hate the damn commercial for whatever bank it is where the mom and daughter show up for school and the class is taking a field trip and the kid forgot to give mom the permission sheet and now the kid needed money to go and instead of being a teaching moment where the daughter learns consequences for not being responsible for what she's supposed to do, mom bends over backwards to transfer money, blah, blah, blah...

Kid is at the zoo and will remain as responsible as a 2nd grader until her mom dies and stops bailing her out.

Netflix is rebooting Inspector Gadget and four other lesser known shows.

I'm geek-offended you included Danger Mouse into the "lesser known shows."

I'm sure I've heard of Danger Mouse, but I've never seen an episode.

Don't you know he's the greatest? He is also fantastic. This is because he is the strongest, quickest, and best. Duh.

So far you people aren't making me think I've missed anything.

I haven't even been inspired to google the fucker.

Starz and Disney wanted Netflix to introduce tiered pricing to charge people more for their "premium" content, Netflix said no, Starz and Disney pulled their content because making zero dollars is better for them than making $300million.

You need to correct your language slightly. Disney didn't make that call, Starz did as they have the rights for the Disney titles.

This is all on Starz.

Go back through the years and you'll see that nobody has been more incompetent and greedy in the world of online streaming than Starz.

Prices will rise.

Raise your hand if you thought Netflix would be $8/month forever while buying the rights to show you other people's content, and developing their own content.

If your hand is up, you're an idiot.

I have noticed the last few months that they have very few big movies at the moment. I have been catching up on really old ones/indies/old TV shows.

It has crossed my mind that they might actually get frozen out of the content game by studios since copycat services now exist.

So yeah, I've always thought 8 was too low. I'm not willing to pay double that price, but I could go as high as 50% more.
