Latest Activity

I can think of two reasons why. One is for Netflix's benefit, and one is for ours. For one, I'm sure Netflix would rather us go to Netflix to get our fix rather than Redbox. Right, Netflix? Moreover, what if it's an old episode of Gilligan's Island…

I sure wish I could just go to any DVD and have it sent to me immediately for just a small one-time fee. Yeah, that'd be a good feature, but if you're jonesing for a movie RIGHT NOW, why not just go to your neighborhood Redbox and get it for $1?

Have you ever wanted to get an extra DVD sent to you even though you already have your maximum number at home (or en route to or from home)? I sure have. No matter how many DVDs you have at home, you may suddenly wish there was another one you could…

Who else has been dying to watch "American Pie:Band Camp" in High Definition? ...No one? That's what I thought, okay let's add some HD movies that actually benefit from the technology to this line-up.

Anyone know why can't Netflix do 5.1 ? Even the HD movies are in stereo.

Name change, some visual changes...

Maybe it's the hour, and maybe i'm being ridiculous, but this community is YOUR community - it's not mine and it's not from Netflix, and I guess i was thinking that it might be confusing to some people when it looked so much like the community page from which it is now (temporarily?) linked, when it had the same logo treatment as the Netflix Community (and color scheme), and that it presented itself as "THE" community, when in fact it is just one of any number that could exist.

So, in a modest… Continue

Blog Experiment

Do we need a "community" here, and a blog elsewhere? Ideally perhaps both would be "within" the netflix pages, but even if they are not, couldn't they both be merged somehow?

I'm going to copy a couple of my 'classic' blog posting from the Community Blog and add them here, just to see how all this works and whether i think it is a good or better location for blog stuff.

Your suggestions and feedback are, of course, valued.

Moving the Needle

When I add something to the site — like the Latest Reviews block or the Members Top 10 Lists, I am looking to see how many of our subscribers use it, and come back to use it again. For whom does this feature add value? My goal is to add lots of value for as many people as i can. A new feature doesn’t have to appeal to everyone, of course. We have a lot of subscribers, after all, and you all have a very wide range of needs and preferences. Some things we do might be useful to everyone (s… Continue

The Product Tax

Your feature ideas are great, and your obvious passion is a tribute, I think, to what we've done so far. So I'm going to have another one of those "out on a limb" conversations here about product design. (It's possibly too much for a blog like this, but...) there was something in a few of your postings that comes up often, and it includes the expression that the solution to a problem is "obvious." This has triggered something in me. A number of new community features will roll out next week and… Continue

Ahoy!

As the creator of this network -- and thanks, by the way! -- do you have any control over the widgets that appear in the right-hand margin? Specifically, I am wondering about the rotating display of recently uploaded photographs. It seems to be dominated by girlie pix that have only a tenuous connection to cinema, at best. I'm not offended but people get the wrong idea about my browsing habits if they happen to glance over my shoulder. Is there some way to make that widget optional?

Sincerely,

[:-)] Mark

I noticed you had Firefly in your Q. I'm re-watching it again myself. I just finished with disk 2 "Jaynestown". What an excellent series! So so sad to see it go. Good to see people still enjoying it though.
