BTW, I started watching the Ken Burns baseball documentaries. I'm in the 4th inning and I absolutely freaking love this documentary.

Re: Netflix Instant Streaming Recommendations Thread

Supposedly the Netflix CEO's ulterior motive with the rate hike was to move subscribers away from DVDs, so the company could reduce its single largest expense, postage. According to this thread, it's working.

I think I'll stick with discs and streaming for now. I refuse to buy Blu-Ray discs and if I eliminate my disc subscription, I won't have anything to play in my Blu-Ray player!

I was having issues with Iron Man 2 as well. Instead of the audio not working for me, the video was cutting out, so I was getting audio and a black screen. Finally got it to work, but it was annoying.

Re: Netflix Instant Streaming Recommendations Thread

I discovered this past Saturday that Netflix has the first six Star Trek movies....watched a few minutes of one of them...but everyday since then none of those 6 are even showing available...I have the streaming option only and dont understand how movies are available one second then never available again???? If the streamed movies are essentially a file sent over your wii console how does Netflix run out of a file?!?!?!

So it doesn't surprise me at all that I'm just now finding out about this show. I've plowed through the first 30 or so episodes in about a week and I think it's hilarious.

I feel like I need to read some Shakespeare or something to cleanse my palate after watching an episode of TPB, but I love it.

A lot of the time it's all about rights fees and contracts that only allow a certain amount of time "up" and available for streaming.

Fat, sick and nearly dead. A pretty interesting and informative documentary. IF you are overweight, have an illness or just don't feel real good, this is one you might want to watch. Along with a change in my thinking which came just a month or so prior to watching this it's rapidly changing my life in amazingly positive ways. I highly recommend it.

Blew through all six seasons of Lost in a month or so. I still haven't recovered. Great show, but pace yourself.

The Art of the Steal.. Based on some recommendations here.. Great documentary.. But also left disgusted with this travesty.
