If you can spare the $1, just rent from redbox. You can stream current episodes and movies in theaters from sites like 1channel or projectfreetv, but the quality is mostly crap.

Yea I just realized, I never actually tried DL’ding from there… lol. But for streaming, its awesome. All you gotta do is search for the movie/show you wanna watch, click on the picture/link, and choose a streaming mirror. Just don’t click on the ones that say “sponsored Link” cause that’s just ads and shit.

netflix in free fall…lol lost 800,000 subscribers in the last quarter and 27% of their valuation over night.
how revenue goes up in a quarter like that is beyond me though.

Netflix is horrible. I only have it to watch tv shows, family guy, breaking bad, the office, etc. Other than that, the movies are either 15+ years old or are some foreign asian/hentai film. I haven’t seen a good 2+ year old movie on netflix in a while. No wonder they are falling.
