Okay, so can we all take a second or two and recognize how incredibly awesome Netflix really is? I mean seriously!!! This is the biggest little company that could (wait, did I mix my clichés?) Anyway… a HUGE variety of movies to choose from, to be mailed to your lazy ass’ mailbox; a measly up-charge for switching your flixs-of-choice over to Blu-Ray ($4 more a month for me, and I have the 3-movies-at-a-time plan); and a WORLD of choices for streaming. 
Let’s focus on that for a min more… streaming. Does the importance of this really sink in? I can sit down right now and watch my choice of THOUSANDS of movies, instantly! From barely colorized classic romantics, to just released head bashing action… I can literally have something playing within 60 seconds. And the playable options are insane!!! I can stream straight off my computer desktop, or walk into the “game room” and watch over the Xbox 360, or head into the bedroom and watch on my Roku, or plop the family down on the couch and catch it over my Sony Blu-Ray. AND THAT’S JUST ME!!! Oh, Oh, Oh… AND in a very short time I’ll be able to watch it on my f*ing iPhone. My iPhone!!! Are you joking? That’s SICK!!!!!! I can’t even imagine the different set-ups across the country available for your viewing pleasure. And all of those options give me the luxury of watching several titles in Hi-Def.
If I were Blockbuster I’d be shitting my pants right now. As it is, I’ve seen literally a dozen video stores go out of business or close location in the past year alone… and I firmly believe that it is entirely due to the awesomeness that is Netflix. Netflix recently said in an interview that they feel Redbox is their competition… Bullshit I cry! Redbox is lame, and a pathetic representation of what video stores used to be. Netflix is the badass Kung Fu fighting ball-busting mutha fucka taking on the world, and making it work!
Viva la Netflix!
Let me just comment on the Roku box. As someone who bought one when it first came out, I am still major in love with it. Especially that they keep adding new channels to it all the time. Between the Netflix and Amazon video, does anyone ever really need to go to a movie store? And this just in, you can now get an adult channel for the Roku player (monthly fees apply). If that is your kind of thing. I’m not saying it is mine, but it is my duty to tell the masses.
Blockbuster is on the verge of bankruptcy, Redbox is a joke. Netflix in my opinion is going to be up there in the names of Microsoft, Apple, Ford, in the list of companies that changed the world. Hell, they already have. They can pretty much get studios to do whatever they want. They have manufactures making devises that utilize their software already built in. That ladies and gentlemen is influence..
