Oh fuck, I didn't realize Transformers was on here! I wanted to show my kid that show. Fuck.

Also, we were going to watch Batman, I suppose we better do it tonight.

 

[Violater]

I'll be leaving as well.
Watching Boondocks right now, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of good programming on that list.

 

[Alpende]

'Frank' is such a weird movie, I still don't know how I feel about it. Fassbender is cool though.

 

[shadow_shogun]

Rocky (1976)
Rocky II (1979)
Rocky III (1982)
Rocky IV (1985)
Rocky V (1990)

Damn! Had no clue these were already on Netflix.

 

[BertramCooper]

In what way? I'm genuinely curious since I haven't checked Amazon in awhile and only use Netflix.

To me, the biggest get for Amazon was the Comedy Central shows.

Considering Comedy Central has put out several great new shows in the past few years, it really stands out to me.

Purely my own opinion.

 

[v1lla21]

Where the fuck is season 3 of longmire!!!

 

[quesalupa]

Gooood burrrrgerrrrr nooooooooooooooooooo

 

[jts]

That's a lot movies that I never find while browsing Netflix.

Stupid Netflix browsing damn it.

 

[radioactivez0r]

I'm waiting for someone to mention that they haven't seen Bad Boys 2.

 

[DominoKid]

About damn time for White Collar and Psych

Gotcha. I was more curious though about the differences in movie selection between the two (as was stated in your original post).

 

[Extra Sauce]

Currently watching Twin Peaks and Doctor Who for the first time, after that will be The Fall so those new seasons should coincide nicely.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

So many good movies leaving, a whole bunch of garbage coming in next month. My favorite movie is being removed too. This sucks. At least I can finally watch Cast Away and not just one scene when it's on TBS.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

welp time to watch Big Trouble in Little China

 

[BertramCooper]

Yeah, I'm probably being inconsistent here. Apologies.

Anecdotally, I just find myself watching movies on Amazon a lot more than I used to these days, not because I want to (again, their interface and stream quality are both lousy), but because they're there and not on Netflix.

 

[Coconut]

I'm wondering about that too. I need more Venture Bros.

It was the only reason why I reupped my Netflix now I'm reconsidering the choice.

 

[timetokill]

Hmm, I've never seen Mean Girls or Cast Away, maybe I'll watch one of them.

You keep saying Amazon's stream quality is lousy, but it's excellent for me. Also, you have trouble loading Hola. Are you sure your internet connection is optimal?

AT&T Uverse Max Turbo. Download speeds up to 24 Mbps.

Haven't had an issue with Netflix in ages, and I have problems with Amazon streaming constantly. I started using my wired connection on my Wii U to watch Amazon Video because I thought perhaps it was a wifi issue, and it still completely drops in the middle of episodes quite often.

If it's some AT&T fuckery I can't say I'd be shocked.

 

[WillyFive]

Netflix needs a "New Arrivals" and a "Soon Departing" section. Which sucks, because they had the former and for some reason removed it.

 

[Spinluck]

Watch Manhattan people.

Netflix rolling in shit next month.

 

[GK86]

New Arrivals. It was removed because studios wanted you to buy/rent their movies instead of holding off as soon as you heard the movie was coming to Netflix.

Soon Departing is listed under "My List" two weeks before they are set to expire.

 

[Not]

FRIENDS AND MEAN GIRLS

 

[thebeeks]

Removing Batman '89.
Adding Batman & Robin.

You monsters.

 

[plantedunicorn]

The Fall Season 3? I thought they were only 2 seasons. I don't care though more of that show is good.

Ah Nintendo WiiU. I don't know why but Amazon apps run horribly on Nintendo platforms. Same as my Wii and WiiU.

I know, I was pissed about that as well. I've wanted to watch the first four for a while now and I guess I never checked Netflix. Unless they've only been there a month, since I've been so busy.

 

[BertramCooper]

It runs terribly through my Panasonic TV as well. That what I was initially watching it on over wifi. Drops on both the TV over wifi and the Wii U on a wired connection.

It's bizarre.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Mean Girls is awesome. It usually comes and goes off Netflix often and I usually watch it every time it's added again lol

I don't remember much about Cast Away guess I'll it again this month

 

[hitsugi]

Tombstone is the only thing I'd miss... and I have the DVD somewhere

 

[Ingueferroque]

So I am using 'Hola Better Internet' Chrome extension to use VPN with Netflix. It works perfectly, and I'm watching Doom on UK Netflix.

Is there a catch? What VPN client _should_ I be using? (Mac) Will Netflix ban me?

No catch.
Hola is fine for Web browsers. You'll have to pay if you want something on consoles or Roku I believe.
No you won't be banned.

 

[Aselith]

Thank god I saw it again Christmas day.

You should own it. What are you doing with your life?

 

[DarkFlow]

This is the second time you've made a thread for this. We already have a Netflix thread as someone has pointed out to you op.

It's good to keep people updated on what's leaving and what's staying. Plus since it's not a general Netflix thread, it won't clutter up the main page for long.

Just seems like a slap in the face to GK86, he spends a lot of time keeping that thread updated.

We don't have megathreads for a reason. Most people don't want to discuss general Netflix stuff so having a thread specifically for this so they know to check what is coming and going makes sense.

That is exactly what happens in the Netflix thread.

Its not a mega thread, it's a community thread. He lists what's coming and going right in the first post, He edits it all the time. This thread is literally the same as the community thread. This one just happened to be in off topic.

 

[Sami+]

No more Breakfast Club or Rocky? They're classics though...

Ah I see. Well I wouldn't have seen it if it was in community

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Referenced it in a post above earlier, but just noticed it wasn't in the OP. Nowhere Boy is being removed. Great movie that anyone who calls themselves a Beatles fan should watch.

Also, please watch 12 Angry Men and Manhattan.

 

[macfoshizzle]

I better watch Taylor Swift before it leaves

 

[Ingueferroque]

Using a VPN with Netflix is godlike. Wow.

 

[Femmeworth]

So much leaving I didn't get to watch.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Has that Seinfeld deal not gone through yet? And no sight of King of the Hill returning

 

[Pathos]

Why does Netflix remove content?

 

[TheAbsolution]

Contracts expire.

 

[OuterLimits]

Kind of depressing that the leaving list is longer than the arriving list.

Netflix keeps getting worse. Their original shows are good, but otherwise the quality seems to be going downhill.

As someone mentioned earlier, Netflix had a pretty big influx through all of December that added quite a few new films, including the classic Bond films. It's not like they've been doing nothing.
