eh. 6-12 months from now when the Warner Archive Instant service fails we'll see these movies back on NF -- nm - decline May 1, 12:28 1
- wouldn't amazon make a deal to help their new porposed service along -- nm - zeitgeist May 1, 12:35
I want to know more about the viacom stuff. -- nm - amanda May 1, 12:24
I'm completely unsurprised to find out WB is involved. From the time I started reviewing movies, they were always dicks about everything. -- nm - Max May 1, 11:56 2
- They are dicks with their DVD's too. You usually can't skip the previews on a WB disc. -- nm - ceregon May 1, 12:07
- (and I say that as someone who fully supports a content provider having all their rights, but still. Dicks.) -- nm - Max May 1, 11:57
Would someone pay just to have access to Warner's old movies through their own instant service? -- nm - James Bond (aka phone) May 1, 11:51 4
- they've overpriced it, but i would if they get it right. for both vhs and dvd warners was the old studio that has done best with its library.... - x May 1, 12:06 2
  - I'd hate to think of how hard it would be to get Harry Potter 1 otherwise -- nm - zork May 1, 12:07 1
    - i couldn't give a shit about the dorky wizard....nm - x May 1, 12:11
- they have the strongest catalog overall, but I can't imagine they'll get many subscribers. seems like a boned-headed move in the long term for Warner -- nm - Don Homer May 1, 12:04
I liked that tweet about how MI:2 totally makes up for this -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 11:50 1
- Also, there is no queue feature that I can find for movie streaming, so the first paragraph of the Post article is wrong. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 11:51
See David, this is why I don't like online storage. - Spawn May 1, 11:50 1
- It's a bit of apples and oranges. Or Apple and Netflix. - Mop (190 lbs) May 1, 12:10
