NETFLIX SHARES SLIDE AS CUSTOMERS DROP STREAMING GIANT
Again, I don’t think the price increase itself isn’t worth the service you’re buying, but it was so dramatic and handled so poorly, they should’ve expected this kind of backlash.
If Netflix was smart they would look to Apple when it comes to building brand loyalty with customer goodwill. Apple has made some mistakes but always fixed them and sometimes in a way that only endeared them to their loyal customers even more.
When it comes to the tech world, the competition is so fierce and the landscape so ever-changing, as a company you really need to become a part of the family or we are always going to leap to the next great deal.
ANNA FARIS IS ADORABLE, VERY FUNNY AND VERY TALENTED
That just needed to be said.

CLASSIC PICK FOR FRIDAY, SEPT 16
6:45am EST: Dark Passage (1947) — A man falsely accused of his wife’s murder escapes to search for the real killer. Dir: Delmer Daves Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall , Bruce Bennett. BW-106 mins, TV-PG, CC.
Not the best Bogie and Bacall mystery/thriller but an interesting one. There was a (short) time when Hollywood took pretty seriously a gimmick where the audience would see the film only through the point-of-view of the protagonist. You wouldn’t even see the star of the film unless he or she looked in the mirror. And yes, it was an awful idea. I’m pretty sure Robert Mongomery’s turn as Philip Marlowe in “Lady In the Lake” might be better remembered were it not for this.
“Dark Passage” doesn’t use this technique in quite the same way. For the first half of the film, we see everything through Bogart’s eyes but only because he looks like someone else — a man wrongfully imprisoned for murder. It’s only when Bacall removes his bandages after some plastic surgery that we get to see … Bogart! And then the movie is shot like any other.
The story itself is good, the photography exceptional and of course our leads have terrific chemistry. But the best scenes belong to legendary character actress Agnes Moorehead.
