Comment on Netflix Streams ‘Lillyhammer,’ Its First Original Series by movies

movies — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:29:14 +0000

I agree completely! I watched the first episode of Lilyhammer and was surprised to enjoy it. I loved Arrested Development but don’t think original content should be the company’s focus. I had Netflix’s streaming service for a while and could never find the movies I wanted to watch, not even older ones. Now I have Blockbuster @Home through my employer, DISH, and can’t believe how nice it is to be able to watch the movies I want when I want. Netflix should follow suit and focus on increasing the amount of content available through their streaming service instead of creating more shows.

Comment on No Starz on Netflix? It’s Long Way to February by Riley

I personally like Starz programming a lot, and learning that they wouldn’t have their programming on Netflix in February was cause for change. I tried Blockbuster Movie Pass from my provider DISH Network and I believe it is a really great alternative for Netflix. I’ve been using the Pass for a while, and there is more available from Blockbuster than with Netflix. I can stream thousands of movies and shows to my computer or TV, plus I get DVD’s, Blu-Rays, and games by mail or in store along with more than 20 channels added to my lineup! I would still have the Blockbuster Movie Pass whether or not I worked for DISH because for $10 a month, the Pass gives me more than Netflix did, and I know others who try the pass will feel the same. Since there is Starz content on the Blockbuster Movie Pass, its like I never lost them!

HAHAHA i looked up what Starz Provided as Origional Programming to make sure i watched it all before the deal possibly ended and the ONLY thing i gave a flying fk about was Party Down as well which i had already watched, Starz has always provided the content that spammed cable, it has about 1% quality product and 300mil is WAY the hell more than they EVER should expect to recieve, hell, they should be happy with $300,000 for the crap they offer, i really hope netflix doesnt pay them to much OR even THINK about screwin with their pricing again….

AFCO Steel (now W&W / AFCO Steel) is one of the largest steel fabricators in the country. This was definitely one of the more unique projects we have provided structural steel for.
