- I heard on some MP show this week that he's always been very noncharismatic, which has hurt him some in the past, but is killing him now. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 11:07 1
  - yeah. he's never really had to much be the public face of netflix, and it's clear he really isn't good at it....nm - x Sep 20, 11:10
- I wonder what the discussion was that made them believe a new company with its own queue was a good idea. - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:56 10
  - i think it's almost entirely about licensing. evolver has it right.... - x Sep 20, 11:00 3
    - and i also think it all makes some sense as a business proposition. but the way they have handled it has been an utter botch job... - x Sep 20, 11:04 2
      - and ironically I'll be dropping my streaming this month because they don't offer enough stuff. yay qwuickster! or whatever the F it's called. -- nm - sycor Sep 20, 11:06 1

    - As I said yesterday, they've definitely tied off the dvd by mail business in anticipation of its eventual closure. - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:59 1
      - Didn't he say (or a fomer Netflix head) about 3 years ago that physical discs had 5 years of viability left? -- nm - Remlik Sep 20, 11:06
  - Not even a Netflix Classic or something..what the hell. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:56
I actually had a press interview set up with them that they canceled last Friday. - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:51 2
