Aug 18, 10 at 7:50 pmI love NetFlix. It is awesome they have so many movies available as “watch now”. When I was laid off I went down to the cheapest plan but I can still watch plenty of movies each month for only about $9/month.
FYIm Food, Inc is now available as “watch now” and really worth seeing. Amazing information.

@Amy: I definitely agree about the $9/mo plan. With such an Instant Watch selection, there is not a reason to need more discs. I have seen Food, Inc and felt that only the first 30 minutes were informative; the rest of the film did not share anything new to someone already interested in the topic. I’m assuming anyone who has heard of the film, already knows about politicians being on boards and big business corruption in general. Speaking of which, it still annoys me that the CEO of Netflix sits on Microsoft’s board.
