    That's what we do, too. It's more expensive per movie that way, but I don't have time to watch nearly as much as I did years ago anyway.

We have watched lots of great documetaries. HOWEVER... watching movies, TV shows and such through Netfilx can be a huge chore as the movies freeze and don't come back for a while, or freeze every few minutes. Sometimes the sound disappears. When we view a movie through Apple they have been 90% better as far as glitches go.

    When you look through the list of new releases in instant, it looks like what you'd make up for a joke about how bad it is. Here are a few of the new offerings

    Beer Pong Saved My Life
    Hiss (apparently a pretty woman turns into a snake)
    a documentary on the founder of Jelly Belly
    a Korean soft core "romance"
    Kong Returns to the Jungle (animated)

    I'm keeping it for now because it does carry some tv shows I'm interested in. But for movies, we've switched to buying them from Amazon instant.

    And grabbing a kids' movie from the public library. Can't beat the price.

    It's funny I've been getting several emails from Netflix to come back. But as a consumer who hasn't been satisfied in the past year with them I'm choosing to stay away.
