Qwikster Disappears Like the Bad Dream It Was

Oh, goodness, remember that time that Netflix cut itself in half like in Superman III, birthing the ill-conceived, foul-mouthed-stoner-Twitter-handled DVD-only Qwikster? Well, Qwikster is dead, according to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings. Long live Netflix. https://gizmodo.com/netflix-splits-dvd-delivery-and-streaming-services-into-5841577 The backtrack is a welcome—and as abrupt and surprising as its antecedent—move for the streaming company, which acknowledged in a…

The Reason Netflix Will Never Be the One Amazing Place to Watch Every Movie Ever

Because Hollywood doesn’t want it that way. They don’t want one winner, the way iTunes basically became the one place everybody downloaded their music (you know, when they weren’t stealing it). Don’t believe me? Ask Miramax’s CEO Mike Lang: “Why everyone does focus on piracy, for the music industry, what’s really interesting is that it’s…

The New Season of Arrested Development Could Help Save Netflix

Yes! After years of waffling, a fourth season of Arrested Development is finally in the works. AND it’ll tie into the movie they’re planning, too. This is incredible news.

Blockbuster’s Elbowing into the Movie Streaming Racket

As though anyone needed to make this week’s Netflix debacle any more confusing, Blockbuster’s about to announce a streaming service to compete with Netflix’s newly-single streaming service. https://gizmodo.com/netflix-splits-dvd-delivery-and-streaming-services-into-5841577 Blockbuster hasn’t actually come out and said they’re announcing streaming, but the invitations to their 1PM event today describe a “stream come true.” Real subtle, guys.

Apparently it involved asteroids, disc-headed mutant siamese twins, laser pistols, and the Insane Clown Posse.

According to Steve Swasey, VP of Netflix corporate communications, the company isn’t thinking about marketing for Qwikster just yet.
