All Things:NETFLIX

What's great for me is that I now watch Netflix on my PC while working on my Laptop. It took me a while to figure this out, but I am solid now. Sure I get distracted by the movie but it is nice when you work from home a majority of the time.

Sarandos was, of course, ready for it and said there were multiple reasons why Netflix hasn't told you how many people watch their shows and why Netflix will continue not to tell you how many people watch their shows.

"The biggest one is that most of the business reasons why you would publish ratings is you would use it to justify ad rates and we don't sell advertising and you might use it to justify carriage fees to cable operators and we don't have those relationships with cable operators. So there's no real business reason for us to internally or externally report those numbers," Sarandos said.

Oh, I think I like this guy.
 
Rabbit Lets You Watch Netflix, YouTube, Browse the Web with Friends

Chrome/Opera: Watching Netflix online with other people usually involves counting down and hitting play together. Rabbit gets around this by allowing everyone to watch the same feed together. The service supports Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, or anything that runs in the browser.

At its core, Rabbit is a group chat service with voice and video support. In that respect, it's not much different than Hangouts. Where it distinguishes itself, however, is by allowing you to launch a window where you and your other guests can watch things like Netflix together. As you'll quickly notice, what you're really watching is a small virtualized Chrome instance, so anything that can be played in a browser can be shared with your friends. It even has Adblock Plus pre-installed.

I didn't think Season 2 was as good as Season 1, but still worthwhile.

Agreed. It's a solid show and in typical British fashion it has a low episode count so you can blow through it pretty quick.

My new addiction on Netflix is RAKE. This is the original Australian show (boobs!) and not the crappy US remake with Greg Kinnear. It's about a criminal defense lawyer who loves drinking, gambling, cocaine and hookers. Basically, if you can imagine Bender from Futurama as an Aussie criminal defense lawyer, you have a pretty good portrait of the protagonist. The actor who plays him is terrific and pulls off the charming, charismatic a-hole role with aplomb.

The first episode stars Hugo Weaving as a mild-mannered economist who also happens to be a cannibal; he can't quite understand why this is so upsetting to people. After being arrested, he allows that his wife might be "a little upset" finding out about him eating another man (and feeding him to her as "chicken") and asks his defense team to pass along a message to her that "every marriage has its ups and downs" and that they'll "get through this." It's a great little show, check it out.
 
Adam Sandler’s First Netflix Movie Called RIDICULOUS 6; Huge Cast Revealed
http://collider.com/adam-sandler-ridiculous-6/

Back when it was announced that Adam Sandler had signed a four picture deal with Netflix, there was a lot of misplaced schadenfreude. On the face of it, a lot of people were happily interpreting this whole thing as a career blow for Sandler when it’s likely anything but. Netflix is a very smart company and it’s not like Sandler and his posse work for scale so the likelihood is that whatever metrics Netflix is looking at (info we don’t have a prayer of obtaining) indicate that the money they stand to gain from this outweighs the rather large above-the-line costs for these comedies.

With that out of the way, the first movie out of the gate looks to be called Ridiculous 6. Per The Wrap, it was previously set up at Sony and Paramount. It’s a Western and the cast includes names not old and new to Happy Madison with Taylor Lautner, Nick Nolte, Blake Shelton, Whitney Cummings, Steve Buscemi, Rob Schneider, Dan Aykroyd, Will Forte, Nick Swardson, Terry Crews, Jon Lovitz, Vanilla Ice, Luke Wilson, Steve Zahn, Danny Trejo, Chris Parnell and Lavell Crawford set to appear. The movie was written by Sandler and frequent collaborator Tim Herlihy, with a director announcement coming soon. It starts shooting next month.

I’m not always a huge Adam Sandler fan, but I oddly found myself really liking That’s My Boy, which is one of his least successful “on brand” movies. If Netflix allows him the freedom to make something that amazingly off color and tacky with Ridiculous 6, I’m onboard.

That's a great cast.
