It's a Chinese martial arts movie, fairly recent (maybe 2003 or 2004). There were four or five segments to the movie, each in a different color, and each from a different character's perspective. Distinctly remember one scene (red) with two ladies duking it out among falling maple leaves. Anyone know the title?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-26374730568513977122008-05-21T20:36:00.000-07:002008-05-21T20:36:00.000-07:002008-05-21T20:36:00.000-07:00Netflix is cool!<BR/>-- <A HREF="http://www.fairfantasy.com" REL="nofollow">FairF</A>Justin Whitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-65487800670509923062008-05-06T19:33:00.000-07:002008-05-06T19:33:00.000-07:002008-05-06T19:33:00.000-07:00I have reported problems with DVDs being broken and sent it back and they sent me exactly the same d... broken DVD back.

I didn’t receive it until May 3rd that was 4 days to arrive here? I sent it back on May 3rd, in the afternoon mail, and they got it on May 5th it took only 1 day to arrive! I do not believe the out of state centers mail the movies when they say do. I know for a fact it does not take 4 days for mail to arrive from NY to MI. I have relatives there and in Tennessee, California, South Carolina and Texas. 3 days is the most it has ever taken for mail to reach me from any of these states! I believe it is some hoax or a scam so it will take longer to get the movies out to save Netflix money. How else could you explain this FACT? It is impossible for mail to take longer one-way verses the other! Do you have a way to make sure they are mailing the movie?SisterMoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13936436278834453539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-70240066319635620982008-05-01T18:56:00.000-07:002008-05-01T18:56:00.000-07:002008-05-01T18:56:00.000-07:00yaRichsucksmorehttp://www.comingsoon.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-68876987117814646102008-04-29T20:28:00.000-07:002008-04-29T20:28:00.000-07:002008-04-29T20:28:00.000-07:00ivmsdfmehttp://www.xbox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-69315533000610256072008-04-24T22:19:00.000-07:002008-04-24T22:19:00.000-07:002008-04-24T22:19:00.000-07:00Netflix to Raise Blu-ray Rental Fees???????? During a conference call Monday, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings commented that his company would raise rental fees later this year for those customers who rent Blu-ray movies. Since the high definition format was introduced, Netflix has been providing Blu-ray rentals at no additional fee to their customers. Now that the format war is over, and rentals are increasing, Hastings feels that it is necessary to charge a premium for high definition rentals. <BR/><BR/>He commented, "Purchasing Blu-ray DVDs costs more, both at retail and wholesale, than standard definition DVDs. Consumers are used to paying more for high-definition content." <BR/><BR/>No word if rival rental powerhouse Blockbuster would also be raising rental fees for high definition movies. If Blockbuster decides to keep fees lower than Netflix, it could radically shift momentum towards the second place online movie renter.<BR/><BR/>Plz, Tell me this is a lie????? you can read this at www.blu-ray.comNerdDaddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-21796671611837834092008-04-21T19:34:00.000-07:002008-04-21T19:34:00.000-07:002008-04-21T19:34:00.000-07:00what did i do to deserve this? finally got out from under the evil blockbuster empire of usurious rate increases and ever-decreasing service to Netflix cinematic, blissful instant gratification. and all of a sudden, after 2 months of prompt support, a week goes by with nary a dvd delivered. next 3 discs delivered from several states away with noncommittal note that w"e will be shipping..."

We have an 8 at a time under one family member's name and another 3 at a time membership. Plus, I've given Netflix gift subscriptions. In other words, I love Netflix. Or, used to love it...<BR/><BR/>I am so annoyed at the constant changing of certain website features. It seems in certain instances, change is done for the sake of... change- not for genuine improvement. Biggest issue: Since 2004 we've been keeping our queue filled by adding movies from "Dvds Releasing This Week". This enabled us to keep up with the latest releases of movies recently at the theaters and of old movies that had been just recently released in dvd format. Well, after years, all of a sudden we weren't able to do this. We spent about twenty minutes searching the website for this option. After calling Netflix we were told the option was no longer available. Then we called a week or two later, thinking surely there was some sort of mistake: surely it wasn't an improvement to decrease customers' options so there had to be some other way... This time I was told I could access this by going to RSS. We used this option for a while then it was removed and then it was reinstated. Then it was removed again. Now, after deciding to cancel our memberships out of sheer frustration and annoyance I called this morning only to be told that "Dvd Releasing This Week" could have been accessed all along by clicking on "Friends and Family" and then "Blog". Gee, after all the annoying time spent searching for this category on the site and phone calls and emails I find this out now... We still plan on canceling because it does seem that Netflix seems more focused on showing off their ability to make changes to the site (Yes, Netflix, we all know you have site designers on your payroll.) than actually making their customers' experience easy.

I accidentally sent one of my favorite Xbox 360 games (The Orange Box) to Netflix in a Netflix sleeve. I sent it back at the same time that I sent in The Wild. I realized my mistake the same day and notified Netflix of the mistake. I described the situation that I had accidentally placed my Xbox 360 game in the sleeve for Children of Men. The representative that helped me told me that she would notify the distribution center. Since it was the same day, the representative said that it would be very likely that the distribution center would locate the sleeve and return my Xbox 360 game. I called a week later and I was told by a representative that I should try calling back in another week. I called back today and a representative told me that it had been marked as lost. I dont understand how they could mark it as lost if they had not received it. How can Netflix make the determination that an item is lost if they were not aware of when the item was supposed to return. Also, why was I not notified that it was marked as lost? Had I not called, I would have continued to assume that Netflix was looking for my errant Xbox game. Also, I find it very unlikely that The Wild DVD made it back to Netflix, but my Xbox 360 game (valued at over $50) did not; Despite the fact that they were sent from the same mailbox on the same day and time. I suspect that a Netflix employee knew that my Xbox 360 game was in transit and that they knew that they could steal it and that it would not appear as a loss or as a theft to Netflix. I still have Children of Men I would like to return it if I was compensated for my lost game.
