How do we feel about this??

I'm all about broadway shows being available on Netflix, but a show that is STILL running on broadway 8 shows a week? And on tour, yes?

Royalties must be a mess.

Other broadway shows on netflix?
Victor/Victoria
Into the Woods
Company.
Sondheim on Sondheim

Plus plenty of movie musicals there too...

We discovered this a few days ago. Please keep up. Kind of surprised BWW's source wasn't the guy who posted in the thread about it.

Of course this has to happen two days after I cancel my Netflix... Maybe it is an omen that it is not meant for me to see this.

Company is on Netflix, but it's the Raul Esparza Revival, not the NY Philharmonic which was stated in another thread.

Too bad all those cheap, whiny people who cancelled their NETFLIX will miss out this. What a shame.

Like most of what NETFLIX offers instantly, it's crap.

It's really not. Netflix Instant has a lot of good stuff on it.

I agree, TheatreFan. I love Netflix Instant. I actually prefer it over getting the discs in the mail.

I'm amused to learn that quite a bit of people immediately cancelled their NetFlix subscription when that new pricing plan was announced last week.

Especially when this 'new' plan doesn't even go into effect until SEPTEMBER! We're still in July, folks!

"It's really not. Netflix Instant has a lot of good stuff on it."

What they have that's good, I already own. And I was referring to the streaming quality (both picture and audio) as well as the selection. Mostly crap.

I canceled mine because I wasn't using it. I was planning on canceling it before the new prices were announced.

Lucious is right. I mean just look at this list of sh*t that shows up on my netflix homepage that's availabel for streaming -

Lost, Anastasia (Bergman), Love is a Many-Splendored Thing, Boondock Saints, The Crow, Hoarders, Network, Dial M For Murder, Mrs. Brown, Charade, A Room With A View, The Long Hot Summer, Sid & Nancy, Lady Jane, The Constant Gardner, RuPauls Drag Race, Jack Goes Boating, 9 1/2 Weeks, The Fighter, Let Me In, The Princess and the Frog, Kick-Ass, Pulp Fiction, Star Trek, Memento, The Birdcage, Precious, Silence of the Lambs, Big, The Office, Reservoir Dogs, Brothers, Chasing Amy, Dirty Dancing, Gone With The Wind, The Lord of the Rings, My Cousin Vinny, A Little Princess, The Big Lebowski, La Bamba, Poltergeist, Interview With the Vampire, Clerks, Law & Order SVU...

What a waste of money!

You know what I find amusing? Someone who's currently unemployed paying upwards of $30 per month for a subscription to NETFLIX and going out of their way to justify it. If you're that stupid (or have that much disposable income), you don't deserve a job.

THAT is your connection, not a problem because of Netflix. I can stream HD on my computer and Blu-Ray Player.

[Luscious]

Posted: 7/18/11 at 3:33pm

I can assure you, it's not my connection or my equipment. Their HD quality is crap; as is that of most, if not all, streaming services at this point. It has to do with limited bandwidth.

I can assure you that it is. I haven't had a problem streaming HD since I got an increased connection speed.

If not, then call Netflix and they will probably fix what problem there is.

I've never had a problem with quality of the streaming.

And Lucious, until you know someone's exact circumstances, it doesn't look very well of you to make judgements about what they should or should not be doing or what they do or do not deserve to have.

"And Lucious, until you know someone's exact circumstances, it doesn't look very well of you to make judgements about what they should or should not be doing or what they do or do not deserve to have."

You should take your own advice.

What is that even supposed to mean?

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 7/18/11 at 3:44pm

Oh.

Snap...?

[Luscious]

Posted: 7/18/11 at 3:51pm

Jordan (and his pal Betty) knows what it means and that's all that matters. Some people just can't deal with someone having a different opinion than theirs without sinking to name calling and the like.
