Disney ending deal with Netflix to create its own streaming service. Great, another friggin’ one
It seems obvious that Netflix and Disney are in a War to Absorb All Our Pop Culture. The latest shot in the war finds Disney severing their ties with Netflix, and intent on creating their own streaming service. Man. Remember those halcyon days when we all thought that cord-cutting was going to save us money? Seems so long ago. Now we’re all scrambling, trying to find someone’s Hulu login, while bartering with our own fucking Netlix login to gain someone else’s HBO Go password. Yeah, fuck. Now there’s another service, another one! Christ.

The author’s “Millarworld” has been acquired by Netflix, who will being producing content based on his titles.

Netflix has past 100 million subscribers, added 5.2 million last quarter
Netflix just feels like an institution at this point, right? It’s easy to forget it’s actually a company, and not woven into the DNA of our pop culture (or maybe its both?). But yes, it’s a business, and it’s doing quite fucking well.

Here’s another trailer for the Jason Bateman-starring Netflix series, Ozark. I’m in! Additionally, I’m going to continue being trite and compare it to Breaking Bad. But! If I’m lazy, I’m also intending it in the best way possible.
Netflix has already greenlit ‘Castlevania’ Season 2 which is good ’cause damn is Season 1 short
Fuck! Netflix’s Castlevania is a great, goddamn nihilistic morsel. But, man. It’s a morsel! More a prologue than anything. So I’m pretty fucking glad it’s getting a second season, so, you know. We can find out what the fuck happens.
