Spindaddydad replied to Travis Bickle's discussion 'The American'"Yes, Its the same way wifh some redbox and blockbuster rentals too. If you like extras, buy the disc.
However more and more frequently, the studios are eliminating the extras even on full retail discs. As disc sales go down, their interest in…"
fushogun replied to Travis Bickle's discussion 'The American'"NOR is this even the first time, I've been annoyed to find that the DVD extras are missing. WHAT the F am I paying $15 a month for again??!!"
fushogun replied to Travis Bickle's discussion 'The American'"So I felt EXACTLY the same way, I googled "netflix deleted scenes", and here I am. Complaining about exactly the same thing. Such bullshit. Obviously a way for Netflix corporate to cut corners and save money, while unfortunately giving us…"
Travis Bickle replied to Quamm's discussion 'Bluray rentals are a scam...'"Well I will only be buying used DVD's that I like. The studios who prevent my watching the special features from my rentals won't get my dollar for new disks. And I've written to tell them same. If enough people do this the greedy…"

Travis Bickle commented on YnEoS's group 'Unavailable Movies On Netflix'"Well, I shouldn't but your smile is irresistible."
Travis Bickle commented on YnEoS's group 'Unavailable Movies On Netflix'"You can own the entire collection from Amazon (used) for $82.90.http://www.amazon.com/Twilight-Zone-Complete-Definitive-Collection/dp/B000H5U5EE/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1313094778&sr=1-1"
Travis Bickle replied to Bowserb's discussion 'Search function here in the Netflix Community?' in the group Unavailable Movies On Netflix"There's an expensive and inexpensive way to go about this, 1) buy a region free DVD player then buy the PAL version and 2) buy the PAL version and convert it to NTSC by ripping it on your PC."
Knaldskalle replied to Travis Bickle's discussion 'The American'"If a settlement out of court is "successful" I wonder what you'd call a lawsuit that is actually won. "Glorious"?"
Spindaddydad replied to Travis Bickle's discussion 'The American'"Spin...Now, now, now...I think you insulted him a little bit there.
Really? I don't see it as an insult. I have "Blockbuster fanboy" up there with "Lehman CEO.""
Pihk replied to Travis Bickle's discussion 'The American'"Now go home and get your shinebox, Blockbuster fanboy.
Spin...Now, now, now...I think you insulted him a little bit there. You got out of order yourself... sorry, you insulted him a little bit."
Spindaddydad replied to Travis Bickle's discussion 'The American'"The plaintiffs were awarded something they didn't have before the suit.
The plaintiffs did not get what they wanted in the settlement. They are no better off now than they were before the lawsuit.

Travis Bickle replied to Travis Bickle's discussion 'The American'"No suit no settlement. Successful suit."

- I've read almost everything that he (and his kids) have published. It's my firm belief he was quite insane. The massive drug consumption had absolutely nothing to do with it, that was just a side effect. Of course, I'd say the same thing about me, too.
And a nice choice of avatar.
