I’ve only ever seen this in the original VHS
Oh no I fell on the keyboard and this link appeared.
Netflix selection has gotten worse and worse.

Looks like a 20th Century Fox production. Which Disney owns now, right? So why isn’t it streaming on Disney? Kind of pathetic.
I think it's either:
- they have to pay residuals to the actors for every stream, and they'd rather not do that
- not 100% sure if it applies in this situation, but somehow they can write off the value of media just by making it unavailable, which gives them a tax break
YAHARRR!!! DON'T BE SO QUICK TO LOSE HOPE YOUNG SAILOR!!!! For the riches you seek are not far away!!!
Don your pirate hat and sail the high seas, matey. Arrr.
The solution is there... but it will take time for normie core to require this vital skill that was lost due to netflix.
Remember folks, media is 100% discretionary spend, if corpo does not give you the service you need, it is well within your ability to punish the parasite's profit ;)
A friend showed me their workflow for piracy and it's really incredible just how easy it all is. Literally just download an OVPN config from whatever VPN provider you subscribe to, connect to the VPN and search in qbittorrent (and use the link in qbittorrent to download the necessary search plugins)
Like obviously this is a few decades of software refinement, legal battles plus a fair amount of large companies turning a blind eye to the obvious. So it's shoulders of giants and all but it's still kinda jarring
key here is the decentralized model. if you note how they are always going after other corpos or institutions to enforce their "property" rights. there is no effective way to go after global population on individual basis. they tried suing people in the US but that backfired as public opinion sided with grandmas lol
fedi is already using this approach. that's the only effective way for plebs to send a message.. vote with your feet, find services that respect you. anything less than that is an extraction/exploitation racket. most key industries work like that and there is no recourse for things like housing, education, and healthcare.

About 80% of my use of Netflix is "hear about a cool film, open up the app, it's not on Netflix, close the app".
The other 20% is: Netflix creates a amazing series, I hear from it like 3 months later, watch the whole thing, ending with cliffhangers, and its already cancelled.
I always wait and check first. Like that show 1899, looked pretty damn great but I'm not watching something about anything mysterious that got cancelled
Immediately thought of 1899 when cancellations were mentioned. It was so damn good. Atmospheric, moody, mysterious, well written. I am fucking livid that the story won't be completed.
That's simply unacceptable. I have a copy, but that's still unacceptable that you can't stream a film that amazing anywhere legally.
My point yes, thanks. Now how is the young generation going to learn how to pronounce Igor?
My kids will probably never buy a dvd player but you can bet I'm showing them how to find things like this regardless.
It's pronounced Igor.
I read it was pronounced Igor.
Nonsense.
I suppose they also say “Froderick”
That's actually not right... it's Igor, with an r.
Oops, you're right. My apologies to his family.
