Netflix down....who here is missing flicks?

yeah, i've found a few decent ones in instant. Heck, Unforgiven is in the instant views, and it's superb movie.
In the instants I tend to look for the more obscure anyway...indys, black comedies, etc... that way if they suck i can sto pwatching and come back to SportsJournalists.com without feeling like i wasted time with the return movei/get movie thing.

 

Instant is also great if you're a fan of women in prison movies.

 

I'm in the same boat. I need my damn Wire fix!

 

Yep. In-house proprietary inventory software has taken a shit. Losing somewhere between $1.8M and $3.6M every day.

Put a disc in the mail Sunday night and they didn't get it until Wednesday ... I did get a disc in the mail from them today, so that's good.

 

At the very least I expect 10% off my bill this month.

If they don't ship my movies out by tomorrow (Netflix doesn't send movies on Saturdays and Sundays), I will have had to wait until Tuesday to receive flicks I was suppose to have gotten Wednesday. That's nearly a week. I'd expect nothing less than 25% of my monthly charge back.

 

I got fucked on The Wire too. I had the first two discs set to come, and they sent one today, but it was Disc 2. Hopefully Disc 1 will come tomorrow. Bastards.

 

I sent back 21 and Transformers Monday. I was e-mailed this morning to say that it was going to say that they sent me Atonement and The Holiday, but most likely, they had not been sent. Oh well, I wouldn't have time to watch them anyway, between these lovely eight-hour workdays every day and Olympics all night.

 

Actually received a disc, yesterday.

The processing backup on the accumulated returns will be frightening.
They had better bend over backwards to be fair on the inconvenience allowance.

 

Oh, the humanity of it all! :

 

Hey dude, don't get between a fat man and his movies!
