WELCOME!

Thanks for joining Movie Fans! We are a diverse collection of movie lovers with varied tastes and styles, gathered together to discuss one thing we all love, MOVIES (oh, and TV SHOWS, too). While independent of the company Netflix, most of us are members and are happy to share information regarding the site. Here you have the opportunity to:
+ ask the difficult questions (about movies, the Netflix website, etc.);
+ surf forums (to discuss movies or whatever);
+ create your own home page;

Besides an open topic forum, we have a section labeled Groups which caters to more specific interests in genres, directors, trivia and general movie fun. Some you may like, some you may not, but we encourage you to look around and find what works for you.

Topics on the main board address all different kinds of interests and inquiries. Don't be shy. So again, welcome aboard! Strap in and enjoy the action packed, romantic, summer movie thrill ride that is Movie Fans - A Netflix Community.

NEWS from Hacking Netflix

Has Roku Sold 100,000 Netflix Players?

Dan Rayburn on The Business of Online Video reports that Roku has sold almost 100,000 Netflix Players. Since publication of the article, I've now learned that the accurate number of units sold is closer to 100,000. While it surprised me the number was that high, it does seem possible, as that would equal about 1% of Netflix's 8.2 million customers.

Hastings is a member of Microsoft's board, and the story reveals an interesting tidbit: "As part of their Microsoft compensation, directors annually receive stock awards worth $120,000."

"The best role we play is connecting the film to the audience, not as a financier, not...

Netflix Closing Red Envelope Entertainment Division

The LA Times reports that Netflix is closing the Red Envelope Entertainment division because "...the Red Envelope Entertainment unit competed with its main suppliers, Hollywood studios." A Netflix spokesperson told HackingNetflix that only 4 employees will be moving on (the L.A. Netflix office has 77 employees). Netflix's Red Envelope Entertainment invested in more than 100 films, including Sherry Baby, Helvetica, Confessions of a Superhero, John Waters: This Filthy World, and Cowboy del Amor.
