05/08/2004 11:54 AMI'm a sucker, I guess. Though my previous experiment to not watch TV
for 30 days didn't entirely work, I've been TV free for a couple
months now--ever since I moved into the new place. I even sold my Tivo
to someone at work. As a result I've had more spare time but have
occasionally been looking for some entertainment. No problem. I have a
small collection of DVDs to watch. But now I've seen them all and am

Watching movies in the age of the Internet is way different.
Now I can look something up after watching a movie, like for example,
did you know how many future stars were in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
It's pretty amazing. Scatman Crothers, Danny DeVito, Christopher
Lloyd.
Last night I went to see
Troy with a friend, a perfectly awf
ul movie. So much for the theory that I like everything. This one
just goes on and on. At one point the camera focuses on an old man who
at first looks like he might be Peter O'Toole. Oh good, we'll have
some real acting now, I
said to myself. But on closer examination, it's just a sad old man,
not O'Toole. And the acting continues to be absolutely terrible. The
best moments are when Brad Pitt preens, looking beautiful. And that's
pretty bad. Anyway on getting home I looked up some reviews, and hold on, that was Peter O'Toole. Holy
hanna. He's aged so poorly, and has become a really shitty actor (or
is it really shitty direction). Either way, a shame.
It seems that Netflix
would be just the kind of network service to give me an RSS feed I can
subscribe to, where they would give me interesting articles about
movies I just saw, or ones I'm about to see, or movies playing near my
house that I would probably like, movies my friends liked, etc etc.
They already do a bunch of stuff like that on their site, so why not
do it in a feed?
Also, did I write this just so I could include a picture of a youngish Jack Nicholson?
I'm not telling.

Netflix + TiVo: Done
Netflix + TiVo: Done
09/07/2004 03:08 AM
Back in January, we had discussed that coming convergence of TV and
movies in the video-on-demand space and discussed the somewhat obvious
connection of
TiVo +
Netflix. It appears that the management of both of those
companies has figured it out as well, as Newsweek has the "high level
sources" rumor mill spinning about
TiVo and
Netflix teaming up to offer a combined movies-on-demand service.
While the details aren't there, this does make a lot of sense for both
companies, who each need to differentiate themselves from the growing
competition within their space. Both have built up great brand names,
and extraordinarily loyal followings, but are now facing strong
competition from more established players with huge wallets. A
combined solution that let users download movies directly to their
TiVo (and, even better, take them "on the go" with TiVoToGo) has
tremendous potential and would keep them a step ahead of the
competition for now. Still, it remains to be seen exactly how they
implement this solution. If it's not done well, it could be damaging
to the reputation of both companies, while taking attention away from
their existing solutions. It's also unclear if there will be
exclusivity in this relationship, or if both players will be able to
team up with others as well.

if Netflix appreciates how great the Hacking Netflix site is for them
even if it's also writing about the Bad Stuff. You'd think it'd be
really old news by now, but maybe not. (Actually, knowing other
corporations a bit from the inside I'd say certainly not ... sigh)...

Netflix on the Skids
03/19/2005 03:23 AMI just heard a
Netflix ad on
the Radio that trumpets its ability to ship your selections in one
day. That is true. It does take one day. The problem
is that the rest of the service has been substantially degraded.
Here's how:
- It now takes two days for returns to arrive at the Netflix
processing center (it used to take one).
- It takes a day to process your selection at the facility after it
recieves the return (it used to be same-day).
- Saturday processing and shipments have been terminated (they used
to provide this).
- Lost, damaged, or wrong reports take a day to process (it used to
send you a replacement or your next selection on the same day you
report).
- Popular movies are almost impossible to get in the first month of
their release. Cult movies are impossible to get.
If I was an investor in Netflix, I would take these actions as a
sell signal. I can't recommend the service to my friends and
family anymore.

Cancelled Netflix Tonight
Cancelled Netflix Tonight
04/17/2004 11:05 PMThe wife and I were watching Frida, which is quite a good movie,
when we decided to cancel our Netflix subscription.
We've been subscribers of Netflix since December of 1999. We
bought our first DVD player then when we were living in Dupont,
Washington. It was a Sony (still have it and it works great btw) and
it included a little Netflix promo card in the box along with the
manuals.
We signed up then, and we were paying $15.95 for 4 movies out at
any time. We watched a lot of movies back then -- generally one a
night, because it was all so new...
And the quality of the service was fantastic. We'd watch a movie,
mail it back, and get a new one within 3 days. We'd watch it that
night and mail it back that morning.
In 2001, we moved back to Texas, and service was sort of crappy at
first. It took 8 or 9 days to get replacement DVDs when we first
moved back to Texas, because of the speed of the US Mail, but then,
Netflix opened up a distribution center in Texas, and we were back to
our 3 day turn around, and all was well.
At some point, Netflix changed their service levels such that our
price went up from $15.95 to $19.95. We were happy with the service,
and the 'no late fees' peace of mind.
Then, they changed their service to only allow 3 movies out at one
time, but they grand-fathered us in, so that we kept our 4 movies out
at a time service level for $19.95.
We got in the habit of sometimes watching a lot of movies, and
sometimes not watching any for months on end.
Then yesterday, I got an email saying the price was going up to
$21.95 for the same service level. I applaud their ability to offer
me 4 movies out at a time for $22/month, with a 3 day turn-around. I
was happy enough to stay a customer, and then...
We watched a movie last night that was so scratched up that it
skipped chapters, and we missed out on a chapter or two and the whole
experience was ruined. Eh... no biggy, it's happened before... and I
was prepared to write off that one bad disk as a once every six months
issue...
But then tonight, Frida skipped a couple of chapters too. Ruined
the experience again. And what a good movie too...
So, I logged into my Netflix account and cancelled the service.
Cé la Vie, eh?
