OK, it seems plenty of 80's cartoon properties are getting revived, remade, or turned into films.  It's why I expect someday we'll have My Little Thunderpony: G.I. Guardian of Grayskull.

Late Breaking Geekery: Netflix Rage

by

Thanks to our regular Rob, for the news about People Being Unhappy at Netflix over their prices.

I'm still figuring Netflix' strategy, and from what I can figure:

  • They want to focus on streaming.
  • They will probably phase out DVDs in the next five years (which is expensive)
  • They are making some radical change now at the top of their game as opposed to when it can hurt them more.
  • People won't quit as much as the threaten.

So your takes?
