Search Netflix from Wikipedia

I never got around to finishing this thing, but it’s a great extension for Mac users of Safari.

This extension is a great way to easily see if the performer or title you are viewing on Wikipedia is available for streaming on Netflix.

Enjoy!

Roku 3 - now at Amazon!

By now most of us have some sort of hardware TV set-top box for our streaming needs, but if you are still using Netflix (or even Amazon Instant Video) on your computer (and you don’t have a 27” iMac or something similar like I do), you NEED one.

While the Roku 3 is only 99 cents cheaper at Amazon, it does come with free shipping for Prime members, and Prime members also benefit from a growing library of programming that rivals Netflix.

Check it out here -> Roku 3 Streaming Player

I know it seems like I’m always hawking Amazon products, but as noted in my disclosure, I do use affiliate links for Amazon, and while that doesn’t cost you anything extra, it does provide me compensation for posts. By the way, if you find a better price ever on a product that I mention in a blog post, all you have to do is say so and I’ll edit the blog post to give you credit for the recommendation and share the lower price. In today’s economy, we all want to save and if Amazon isn’t the lowest price, I want my readers to know it!

See what people are Tweeting about the Roku 3 below.

Fanhattan? The cool iOS app is a website too!

If you love movies (which is one good reason to read this blog), you’ll love Fanhattan. You can search the iOS app by movie title, actors, and other key attributes of entertainment to find lists of sites and services where you can watch streaming right away! Sometimes when a movie isn’t available streaming anywhere, you’ll just get links to buy the DVD/Blu-Ray instead.

Using search is simple, just type in letters and watch results appear:

One you choose a program, you are presented with watch now and watch list choices.

You can select the option you want to view a streaming choice. If you have Amazon Prime or Netflix, you can often watch your choices free. If the title you want isn’t available for free streaming, add it to your watch list and you’ll be notified when it is available.

The point of this post: I have a few invites left available. Post a comment or send me a message and I’ll hand them out as long as I’ve got them. To be fair, I’ll be accepting requests through tomorrow and choosing randomly from the requests.

Once you get an account for the web version (at http://fanhattan.com) you’ll also be able to invite people after a short delay.

Enjoy!

 

LOST - Still on Netflix and Today is the #EndofLost Twitter Session!

You can still enjoy Lost on Netflix but today is a great time to enjoy the Twitter feed celebrating the anniversary of the End of Lost!

This is turning into the Arrested Development Season 4 Blog LoL

But seriously, if you aren’t watching, you are missing what Netflixins’ is about.

This is the Lindsay episode, and I must say, as actresses go, Portia de Rossi (Wikipedia) is one that just keeps getting hotter as she ages. She was a stunner on Ally McBeal, still beautiful through Arrested Development and Better Off Ted, but she’s so pretty in season 4 that it’s blinding.

 

Anyway, enjoy the show. Arrested Development season 4 started on Netflix this morning.

Wanna know when Arrested Development starts EXACTLY?

Wanna know when #ArrestedDevelopment is on? “ANN” to 619-EGG-VEAL (619-344-8325) & you’ll receive a text @ the exact moment of the release!

COME ON!

Arrested Development - Favorite Episode - Mr. F

Less than 48 hours to go for the return of Arrested Development, and I finally figured out what my favorite episode (so far) is: Mr. F (Wikipedia)

You can watch it on Netflix here: Arrested Development Mr. F if you have streaming service.

Charlize Theron plays a very special girl and you have to see it to believe it.

Enjoy!

Arrested Development is coming soon!

We’re less than a week away from the return of Arrested Development, and the folks at Huffington Post have given us a list of the best series moments as picked by the cast themselves!

Check it out here.

There are so many great catch phrases and words that we fans of Arrested Development share amongst ourselves, it is hard for me to pick an all-time favorite, but I must say the Afternoon Delight episode is one of my top choices. As with most AD episodes, the best parts are hard to catch the first time (or even second time) you watch. The background jokes for Afternoon Delight are listed on Wikipedia. The episode is #6 of season 2 on Netflix.

You still have time to start season one on Netflix by clicking the link here or the image below! Get to it!

Netflix Originals vs HBO and other pay channels...

Game of Thrones inspired post:

At this point, I'd much prefer most of these HBO shows be on Netflix (as Netflix originals) - I want to watch a season all at once when the season comes out.

With commercial-free pay TV channels, there's really no reason to play one episode a week other than to give you a reason to subscribe all year.

There's no new Game of Thrones next week, another example of dragging out these short orders of episodes. STUPID.

What do you guys think?

Love comic books and superheroes?

Netflix is a great place to get your fix for superhero entertainment.

If you follow my comic book blog about Marvel Comics Unlimited, you know that Netflix has Marvel’s Motion Comics edition of Astonishing X-Men.

There are tons of other great animated versions of your favorite childhood superheroes, but I think the DC comics releases are among the best. All-Star Superman is one such masterpiece of animated goodness.

A thorough list of Netflix titles under the Comic Books and Superheroes is available here.

What’s your favorite title? What is Netflix missing?

 

What's on Netflix, anyway?

Instant Watcher is a great tool that uses the RSS feeds Netflix publishes to make it easy to find something to watch.

With this handy website, you can easily find the titles that have been most popular in the past 24 hours, specific new titles that are noteworthy (such as being award winners) as well as hot lists of the last hour and titles queued in the last few minutes. It’s really the perfect site to visit when you aren’t happy with the 100+ channels of cable or satellite programming you have to choose from and just need a quick suggestion.

Sadly, as mentioned on the Instant Watcher homepage, the “Expiring Soon” category is no longer available because Netflix has decided not to share this information with third-party websites.

What's for Dinner? Netflixins' !!

Tired of the limited choices of the 100s of channels you have on cable or satellite? Netflixins’ is for you.

You can find great TV series and movies, tagged by genre and with links to Wikipedia and other sites for reviews and options to buy the DVD or Blu-ray versions to add to your permanent library.

Let’s get started with something simple: House of Cards.

This entertaining series combines Kevin Spacey and one of my all-time favorite hotties, Robin Wright with some newer faces in a tale of cut-throat politics that really captures the ins-and-outs of America’s representative democracy as many of us imagine it really is.

Click the link here to go to Netflix and view the whole series in one sitting. Be sure to plan ahead for food and drink because once it gets going you won’t want to stop watching until the end.

I can’t wait for season 2!! Yay!
