Oh boy, is it a bad week to be me. Things that I love are leaving Netflix, and not much new is coming in return. A few of my go-to movies are off the stream, which is just plain upsetting.

Leaving the Stream<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. ‘Mystery Science Theater 3000’ (12\/1):<\/strong> Not the whole show is leaving, thankfully. But it looks like the entirety of the Volume 10 collection is, including ‘Swamp Diamonds<\/a>‘, which is high on my list. I’m really hoping that these are exceptions and not part of a growing trend. No ‘MST3K’ on Netflix would make me very sad.<\/li>\n
  2. ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ (12\/1):<\/strong> People like to criticize the BBC version of ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide<\/a>‘ for being slow and dry. Well dammit, that’s how it’s supposed to be! As much as I love the newer version (and I do love it), the 1981 ‘Guide’ will always be what other versions have to live up to.<\/li>\n
  3. ‘Orgazmo’ (12\/1):<\/strong> Man, I wish I knew that this one was leaving earlier. I would have made a public call for people to watch it. ‘Orgazmo<\/a>‘ is by the ‘South Park’ guys, and has all the in-your-face comedy and subtle brilliance you’d expect from the show \u2013 though honestly, I prefer ‘Orgazmo’ and ‘BASEketbal’ to the cartoon. ‘Orgazmo’ is damn funny, and is still one of the most-quoted movies in my circle of friends.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Entering the Stream<\/h5>\n
      \n
    1. ‘Elizabeth’:<\/strong> Okay, so there’s at least one awesome thing new on Netflix this week. ‘Elizabeth<\/a>‘ is a crazy good movie that really earned the six Oscars it was nominated for and the one it won. It’s also not too bad when it comes to historical accuracy. Win\/win.<\/li>\n
    2. ‘Heathers’:<\/strong> I’ll admit that I haven’t seen this dark cult comedy in a long while \u2013 since the days when I’d come home from school and pop on Comedy Central for the rest of the day. Still, ‘Heathers<\/a>‘ was great back in the day, taking shots at the kinds of cliques that I totally hated in high school. It’s cathartic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
