Everyone is wondering if this is a “Netflix killer” which suggests to me that people have too much time to wonder about things that who cares. PUT SOME MOVIES IN MY FACE, THOUGH!

  1. This is perfect for all of those people who want to watch Syriana and Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, all zero of them will be way stoked

  2. No word if they’ll have an iPhone/iPad app like NetFlix, but it looks pretty great on the Kindle.

  3. He moves by night. Hiding in the shadows. He smothers his victims with those attached paper advertisements that you have to pull off the red envelopes, then strangles them with those annoying adhesive strips that are a pain to pull off the label.

    He is “The Netflix Killer.”

  4. Why must everything “kill” everything else? Can’t we all just watch movies and get along?

  5. I’ll gladly pay for the service when they start streaming shows directly on my face. I have been having more and more difficulty lately seeing how any of this (netflix, dvr, tivo, etc) is that different from just watching actual television.

  6. You know Gabe’s excited

  7. Hey monsters, what are the next 10 items in your Netflix queue?

  8. Question(s) to nobody in particular: Why would this be a Netflix killer? Is it vastly superior in some way that I don’t know about? Or is it just an extremely similar and essentially equivalent service?

    • There’s only room in this town for one of us pardner, and you’re old hat Netflix

    • It seems like it’s exactly the same, offering the same movies, and it would be free for me personally because I have Amazon Prime, so I guess it’s an extra way to watch movies when Netflix is being a jerk?

  9. Now I can finally get to watch Amelia.

  10. I’d give it a shot if it were available on my PS3. Until then, forget about it Gabe, it’s Netflixtown.

  11. My own inside joke to myself is that “Streaming Movies” are another name for amateur urination fetish films. So I’ll go up to a friend and say, “You know, Amazon is now offering Streaming Movies.” And when they say, “I have Netflix,” I say, “Oh, so you watch Streaming Movies on Netflix…cool.” I don’t crack a smile, but inside I’m laughing.
