Octopus Overlords

They don't appear to list forthcoming titles. If I see a trailer here, I want to add it to my list...but Netflix doesn't seem to list it until it's available. Or maybe they just don't have the rights. Several things I checked just suggest "related titles."

Better to use something other than one of the streaming services, then. IMDB has a Watchlist section that could serve as a good clearinghouse.

After I activated Netflix streaming, some "Play now" buttons appeared in my DVD queue, letting me finally see which titles I could stream if I signed up. Out of 10 titles in my queue, only one is available to stream. Out of 43 Saved titles, five have Play buttons. Saved titles might or might not ever become available on DVD.

So that's 6 out of 53 that I can stream. I can search for the rest on Prime and YTTV, and maybe buy some of them individually On Demand. But it might make more sense to keep Netflix DVDs and drop down to the one-at-a-time plan. I'd still get 4-5 disks a month for $8 -- cheaper than On Demand.

Or I might just let go of the idea that I can choose the movies that I want to see. There's way more other streaming content than I'll ever be able to watch. 'Course, there's not much point to watching the Movie Trailers thread if I can't see most of the movies without subscribing to several more services.

Most of these "movie" trailers look like low budget b movies, at best.
This is what we've been reduced to......

Holy Shit!

I'll watch Bob Odenkirk in anything, but I wasn't expecting him to go full John Wick.

I do love my “guy with a select skill set just wants to live a normal life but circumstances lead him to dust off his unique skills and visit extreme violence upon all those who have wronged him” movies!

That looks very not-excellent. With Chevy Chase and John Cleese I ought to be in the demographic.

Now that looks fun. I’m in.

That looks... Kickass

I look forward to seeing Nobody once it moves past "in theatres only" to whatever streaming service picks it up (in Canada, it'll be Crave or Netflix).

Yeah, looks like a waste of talent. A cast like that should be able to punch above their weight, but this looks like it's trying way too hard. Of course, it's entirely possible the trailer stinks and the movie is actually decent, but as someone who liked the 3rd Crocodile Dundee movie, this comes across as a major disappointment.
