    Hulu/Netflix/Amazon Prime Thread

    For all folks who either love those services or who like me cut the cable cord, discuss what you've been watching.

    Lately I've been enjoying classic Bond movies on Netflix before they expire on Tuesday. Also Sound City is a really cool documentary.

    Been watching the 1st season of New Girl with my fiance on Netflix. Zoey Duchawhateverhernameis is super hot. And the show is actually really funny.

    Been trying to watch the new season of Arrested Development, but the first 4 episodes haven't been that good. So I kinda stopped watching.

    Finished Being Human seasons (American version). Pretty solid show.

    I liked the first season of New Girl. Unfortunately, imo, season 2 was not as good.

    She is not hot.

    That said, Season 4 of Arrested D was great, not as classic as say the second season, but still great.

    Oct 15 is the rumored day to see if A La Carte TV will happen anytime soon.

    One thing with A La Carte is that it will potentially lower the bills for some. But it would also eliminate several good channels and the programming we enjoy. For example if only the people who watch ESPN want to keep ESPN, to keep the programming they have it would cost those subscribers 30 bucks a month. Most people would not pay 30 bucks a month for ESPN so what they'd offer would falter and then all of the sudden they'd be dropping off MNF, soccer coverage, baseball, etc. because they can't afford it. Same thing with local sports channels (Fox Sports, Comcast Sportsnet, etc.)

    A guestimate on if the cost of the factor of 5 (meaning one in five people subscribe subscribe to them at cost, which probably isn't true) your cable only bill for the top 10 channels would be about 78 a month.

    If you want to lower your cable bill petition your government for fair competition. Not A La Carte. A La Carte is bad for the consumer and bad for many TV networks we enjoy. Only people who'll benefit (though not as well) are the cable providers.

    Over a year ago, Amazon had a sale of the Bond 50 Years collection on Blu Ray for about $138. We sold my DVD collection for around the same price. So, excellent trade-off. The cases were hard bound. "Sky Fall" wasn't included but there was a slot for it.

    Even better, but mine was essentially free. So, there was no buyer's remorse.

    Batman classic series is on Amazon Prime. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hammill are Batman and the Joker for me. Though Bale and Ledger certainly were amazing in the movies. I watched so much of that cartoon.

    Also loving the Kill Bill is ont here. Hav eit on DVD would love to see the HD version

    Signed up for HBONow and cancelled Netflix.

    There is a lot of competition in the online streaming market. Hopefully this cause prices to fall and the content quality to improve.

    Netflix originals have all been great IMO. HAven't even checked out Peaky Blinders yet but I've been told by people with similar tastes to me that I'll love it.

    Good choice. Time Warner (owns HBO) is putting the shows from all the Time Warner channels (tbs, tnt, etc) and TW movies on that HBO App in future. That'll kill Netflix.

    If MLBAM every goes public, I recommend buying that stock. The little company that is in charge of MLB At Bat now controls the online streaming for MLB, watch ESPN, march madness, HBO GO, WWE Network etc
