NetFlix

I forgot to finish this last week, we wanted to find out if NetFlix is a good value relative to content they sell/rent. First a quick look at historical ticket prices.




So the question you need to ask yourself is Avatar(2010) better that 2001: A Space Odyssey(1968)? Totally subjective, but it forms that basis of the analysis. To my taste, the answer is no (by a wide margin), next Netflix plans:




If you believe that movies are roughly 3x better than circa 1970, you are getting a deal, if not you need to downgrade to the next plan.


Finally the value, again it's subjective but in my case (criteria) I want better stories, no sequels and I don't want to pay for repackaging old content.

Industry hails Warren Buffet because he repackaged Disney classics, that's correct, you get accolades in current times for coprophagy. My guess is that it would have taken less time and money to have an indy derivative that spotlighted new talent - oh well.
