Between my Dish Network (which I don’t always love, but DVR rules) and my recent re-signup to Netflix, I come to you a thoroughly entertained person.
Yesterday I tried the “Watch it now” feature on Netflix for the first time. It was awesome!
I don’t have my computer hooked up to my TV, so I just watched it on my computer screen. They have a device you can buy for 100 bucks so that the shows/movies do play on your TV, but my computer screen was fine.
I watched the first season of The Office. There was one episode I hadn’t seen before. Some episodes I’ve seen so many times, I just skipped them.
I have the ‘3 DVDs at a time’ subscription (under $17/month) so that gives me unlimited Watch it Now movies/shows.
I don’t want to sit in my uncomfortable computer chair and watch everything over the internet but it is a great way to see if you like a show or series before you have them mail it to your house.
Also Netflix has member profiles where you can add friends, share movie lists, etc. If you have a Netflix account and want to share your movie ratings with me, click here to add me as your friend.

What like about Netflix is it frees you up to try movies that you might not otherwise spend $3 on at the video store. Throw it in your queue, and if it sucks (*COUGH*August Rush*COUGH*) the only expense is the opportunity cost of the other movie you could’ve been watching instead. Just watched Stay which was pretty odd. I can sum it up in one sentence, but I won’t, because it’d be a huge spoiler for anyone who knew what I was referencing …
@James Viscosi: I love Ewan McGregor but I didn’t understand Stay at all.
i miss netflix…we canceled right before we moved as a cost cutting measure. and basic satellite isn’t cutting it. even w/ PPV and DVR, there’s no matching netflix.
I don’t have Netflix, but I do love The Office. Funny stuff. If you get a chance, watch the BBC version of the show from which Jim and Pam originated.
If you love Netflix, I think you’ll love FeedFlix as well. Enter your Netflix RSS into FeedFlix and you’ll start to see how many movies you’ve been returning each week or month, how long you tend to keep movies and even how much you are spending for each movie with Netflix. You’ll also be able to share your Netflix Queue and Reviews with anyone with an internet connection.
FeedFlix is free to join and a snap to get started with. Hope to see you soon!

I love Netflix, but I still haven’t tried the On Demand thing. If I’m gonna watch a movie, I’d rather it be on the 42″ big screen than the 15″ monitor.
I find that Redbox nicely supplements it also, for those nights when I really want to watch something right now.
