phoenix64Apparently Netflix is no longer doing its page of all the movies that are releasing this week. NOOOOOOOO!!!
Why do businesses do stupid stuff like this? It's like when bookstores reshelve horror into their general fiction section. That seriously screws with my ability to browse, and it means I'm ultimately going to spend less money at that particular business. Which is generally the reason I ever still shop at brick-and-mortar stores to begin with, for the ability to browse. Why the hell do businesses have such a hard time with this concept?
One of the main reason I've used Netflix for so long is because it gave me access to smaller movies that weren't easy to find for rent locally. If I just want to see the blockbusters that are advertised everywhere I can get them at my friggin' grocery store! I want better access to the ones that are a pleasant surprise, like when Oliver's Travels was finally released on DVD. Damn it!
ETA: OK, the page still works, Netflix just isn't linking to it. Thank you Hacking Netflix. Also, I found a pretty nice RSS feed here, but I still prefer to actually get this info at Netflix, thank you.
