Netflix as a brick thrown through Hollywood's window

Netflix's real plan is to ditch the mailing biz and go full-fore on internet streaming.  The blu-ray in our home theater is connected up via the Web to YouTube, Netflix, etc., and when we first got it, we held a subscription for a while.  But three things turned us off: with all the portable DVD players and other options for using discs (like in the van), we still like to have a physical item that can be used over and over again in a variety of locations.  Second, the streaming quality is only so-so, and even the alleged hi-def struck us as un-special compared to cable and blu-ray discs. Third, Netflix only has so many films.

Well, the technology will always get better, but the key for Netflix is to get access to much larger libraries, which apparently it is doing now with its war chest, cutting all sorts of deals with major studios "in a way that makes Netflix akin to a cable or satellite operator."

So when you see that chart below that shows the web will be most about video, this is a big reason why.

What would interest me:  Netflix delivering movies in my home theater the day they come out in theaters. 

Because once that happens, I never go to a movie theater again.
