The implicit promise -- actually, occasionally made EXPLICITLY in marketing -- of high-speed broadband was that everything would be available, but the reverse has proven true. A person living in an urban area had a larger selection of movies available for rent in 1999 than they do today
The last DVD I rented from Netflix was "Iron Monkey." This movie is very hard to get your hands on otherwise. (If you search for the torrent, there's a good chance you won't get any viable results!)
- ukyrgf 8y agoMy Netflix DVD queue was 100% movies I couldn't torrent / find available to buy. They would be at the top of my list for years, presumably one copy getting slowly making it's way around the country. Netflix even had a production company called Red Envelope Entertainment that did some really great alt comedy movies (an early Zach Galifianakis special with the Netflix exec sitting front row with his Netflix hat on like a nerd, for example).
