    you wonder why the world hates americans…comments like that…

    • DRK

      You should realize that in every country you have the small minority who make stupid comments. I am originally from Canada and making the general statement that ‘the world hates americans’ is stupid as well.

      I don’t wonder why they hate us…they are jealous. Well that jealousy is wearing off fast thanks to our failed government.

      Maybe I’m watch a Netflix film to get my hopes up.

    I would apologize for my fellow Americans but I can not. Until their parents do the right thing by offing their A-hole children there is nothing I am willing to commit too, unless they need help.

    Pan’s Labyrinth isn’t available yet. Please change the image above, it has too many good movies represented. It hurts too much.

  • DRK

    I am sorry to hear about the Canadian service. Have used the US Netflix service and it is excellent. The service in the US allows you to stream/view a large selection of movies online and also there is a mail service where you can gain quick access to new release movies

  • thehotbreadguy

    Netflix totally overhyped the launch, hiring actors to pose as “interested consumers”. What’s hilarious is that these actors gave interviews to the media. Boy, did it backfire and Netflix is reaping the rewards now:
