I was at the office Sunday Night and found out my colleague had the Darth Mauls on top of the office partition.
Picture is coming up.
Dear Netflix, what?
Netflix introduces new subscription plans and price changes.
So for instance, our current $9.99 a month membership for unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs will be split into 2 distinct plans:
Plan 1: Unlimited Streaming (no DVDs) for $7.99 a month
Plan 2: Unlimited DVDs, 1 out at-a-time (no streaming), for $7.99 a month.The price for getting both of these plans will be $15.98 a month ($7.99 + $7.99). For new members, these changes are effective immediately; for existing members, the new pricing will start for charges on or after September 1, 2011.
If you are currently a Netflix subscriber, check your plan and act accordingly.
I have streaming only service and I’ d have to pay another $7.99 to get the DVD by mail. I’d be completely happy to have streaming only service if there were more newer movies available.
Old Movies: Revenge Of The Nerds
I watched “Revenge Of The Nerds” on Netflix earlier today. Still entertaining after all these years.
Random thoughts on the movie:
- Hey it’s that guy from E.R.
- Jefferson Darcy
- Zephram Cochrane
- John Goodman, half the size.
What’s next?
Star Trek on Netflix, beam me and sign me up!
Star Trek is now on Netflix according to TekGoblin and others. I also heard the news on Tech News Today this past Friday July 1st, 2011 if memories served correctly.
Let’s recap:
- I watched Star Trek The Original Series on re-run in the 80’s.
- I followed Star Trek: The Next Generation since its premiere till “All Good Things…”
- I watched a few first episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
- I kinda watched Star Trek: Voyager and kinda bored with it.
- I watched Enterprise for one and a half season, then for some reason kept missing it.
I have watched all Star Trek Movies and looking forward to the next one despite major plot loopholes in Star Trek (2009).
Time to get on Netflix.
p.s. I did get to meet Jolene Blalock on an MTV event when Enterprise wa still on production.
Futurama – Ghost In The Machines
From Comedy Central:
Ghost in the Machines (619)
When Bender dies, his disembodied software begins haunting the Planet Express building.
In “Lethal Inspection” it was revealed that Bender does not have a backup unit. In “Ghost In The Machines” Bender dies and turns into a ghost, robot ghost.
There’s Robot Devil, voiced by Dan Castellaneta from Homer Simpson fame.
