How Long Will It Take Netflix

Louis CK responds-

Nobody is happy

Funny shit. But you know.. I'm so happy with NetFlix, as compared to years of BlockBuster abuse. NetFlix beat them all to the punch and changed the industry. And it's about time they're advertising the streaming option for Roku/Internet enabled devices.. The death of the DVD is coming. Just like our friends Mr. Vinyl 12" record, Compact Disc and everything before. I'm surprised how slow the TV makers are to evolve their products. All new TVs in the store TODAY should be wireless. Come-on people, catch-up.

Torrents my friends, torrents...

First world problems, baby.

I love netflix. Maybe Jamie should've seen basterds in theaters. it was well worth it. any new release worth seeing has a waiting list.

I too have been waiting for Inglorious for an exceptionally long time (3.5 months). So long that I said 'fuck it' and took it off my que. What I'm starting to notice is I think their customer base is growing too large too quickly because a year ago I had no problems getting a new release. Nowadays? My entire que says "long wait." LAME. Get more copies of movies or I'll just wander back to using RedBox.

What a deprived life it is, having to wait a few weeks for a movie. I can hear the string quartet warming up as I write this..

Thank you for the comments. Yes, it is a trivial problem to have, but I can assure you the amount of time and money spent on the site was trivial as well.

If nothing else I'm trying to help myself and many others get a service to do what they paid it to. If we stand united with courage in our hearts, and an undying devotion to see this through, we can overcome it... together.

OVERCOME THE TYRANNY OF WAITING FOR A MOVIE!!! THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE AT HAND!!!!!!!

Yes! Stand with me brother.

Don't you have a Whale Wars marathon to watch Osterberg?

nah, anon, just eatin' some dog food...

kibbles n bits are delicious.

What makes this particularly trivial (though I liked both the site and the sentiment) is that Nexflix provides Inglorious Basterds through it's instant streaming service.

@hubs- you can stream the 1978 "cult classic" by the same title, but not Tarantino's film. Even if they did, what, I'm supposed to rely on my Qwest connection to stream a movie? It can barely handle craigslist.

same thing happened to me with literally all the "unknown" oscar flicks. pissed me off.

Here's what it says in my Netflix account: "Added to your DVD Queue at position 1 on 8/15/2009." The release date, I think, was 12/15/09. It is now 4/27/2010, and I still haven't received it.

I think I might have made a mistake by allowing it to slip to number 2 or 3 in my queue one or two times--now I'm being very careful not to put anything at number 1 except Basterds. I don't know if there's any sort of first-come-first-served system based on the position in your queue or not. Maybe it's totally random, I don't know.

It's not cancer, but it is quite annoying. I see Perkins received a copy after more than 4 months. I am going to be curious to see if I get it sometime in 2010. Of course, whenever I actually do get it, I'm sure it will be disappointing. I actually thought Tarrantino's previous film, Death Proof, was his first flop, incredibly disappointing after the brilliant (to my taste, anyway) Kill Bill.

For those who say how great Netflix is, I agree. I love Netflix, and I get all sorts of obscure things from it that I would never have a chance to see otherwise. However, if you think it's not annoying to wait more than 4 months after the DVD release date for a movie you want to see, you're just weird.
