Netflix... so I decided to try it

With Netflix now available in Canada, I decided to give it a shot. So far the selection of recent popular movies seems pretty weak. However, I'm a fan of documentaries and foreign films, and see far the selection in that area isn't bad. They also have a bunch of the BBC Earth's content - and I'd argue that BBC Earth these days puts out the best nature films.

Integrates nicely with the PS3. I also tested it's ability to stream to my iPod and desktop computer, and I can't say that I'm a big fan. I find the ability to watch movies on the iPod a little too distracting, and on my computer only Windows and Mac OS are supported.

In terms of strange content, it also contains Spaceballs: The Animated Series, and Stargate Infinity.

The first doc I watched was Beer Wars:

There's a scene in the movie in which they illustrate just how many laws govern the production of beer - I think that the count came to 37,000 pages or something close to that. Not a great way to encourage the development of small businesses.
