Netflix

Became a member of Netflix and as I said earlier, this is a "world changing" event when Netflix is available around the world. I will try to outline all points as below. Kindly note that I may forget some and then I may be excused.

• First movie I watched today was Unknown. Way back I had seen the movie on Internet but it was a "Hall Print" and movie was not very comprehensible. Now I could see ever bit of the movie due to DVD like quality on Netflix.
• We are sick and tired of watching movie on TV channels where everything is censored. Why? Just Why? People watching in the privacy of their homes cannot watch a little bit of adult content just why? Also small expletives like ass, bitch and fuck get censored. Tell me the director has made the movie in a certain way. Why do we try to impose changes on the same? People should get to enjoy the movie the way the director made it for the people to enjoy. Same is with Music Videos on VH1 and 9XO channel (only two channels available in India which show International Music). Why the censorship?
• I have already been watching movies through streaming since 2007. I only began downloading movies in 2011. Recently since past two or three years, what I have seen is that you can download a hell lot of stuff but if you cannot watch them then what is the use of downloading. It is like keeping newspapers in the house for several months hoping that you will get the time one day to read all of them only that the time will never come. So watching in streaming even 1 movie is better than downloading and not watching 100's of movies.
• Netflix feels like a cinema theater. I have earlier pleasure of using Real Network and Movieflix where we could become member through credit card and watch movies but no way their library would be as vast as Netflix. I have earlier tried to use Netflix to become member but it did not work as people from outside US could not. I have also tried watching through Hulu and BBC programs and ABC.net.au programs but same could only be used by the people in their respective countries. It is here when Netflix has arrived around the world that the boundaries between the worlds have melted away. It should be encouraged and Hindu Extremists like Riot Sevak Sangh (RSS) and BJP/Modi should not try to ban Netflix.
• Earlier we went to Cinema theater and the Curtain used to rise and movie used to start. During the interval curtain used to come down and then go up and then go down again at the end of the show. This is the modern age and there is no curtain. The curtain is our laptop or desktop or tablet and this the way to watch movies in the present age and time. 
• Netflix is offering free membership for the first month and then it is 500 rupees (starting). I became a member but was charged rupees 70. They will say 500 will be charged after one month. I will say 500 is not a huge amount because these days even a single show-one ticket in a multiplex can go upto 500 for a single show-single sitting. So 500 per month for unlimited viewing is just peanuts I would say.
• Sometimes dialogues are not very comprehensible and just like original DVD's where we have the subtitle on-off feature in Netflix also there is subtitle on-off feature. It is simply just great. The print is also great DVD quality. You can download the movies from various sources legally or illegally but no way I will say they can match Netflix.
• I was also member of DVD library club whose names I have forgotten but this is way better I will say. I think one name was "Cinema Paradiso" shop and the other was "Seventymm". Cinema Paradiso was where you had to go personally. Seventymm had a very good website where you could order titles and queue them much like what Netflix was initially offering in the US. I watched several movies through them but I could not utilise their services fully as I was gainfully employed and working at that time. And so I closed the memberships. Subsequently they too shut shop and they are not there anymore. Maybe their business model did not work out. Way to go ahead according to me is DTH and Netflix. Surely they should offer good very good stuff or they also might go the DVD rental way.
