I'm tired of Netflix removing shows that are worthwhile and filling space with movies like Wild Wild West. They are relying too much on original programs; which many are great, but I don't want to have to get Hulu to watch what Netflix keeps letting go of like American Dad, Futurama, and others.

They keep getting rid of the good adult cartoons. Got rid of all the good Futurama, got rid of Bob's Burgers, got rid of King of the Hill a long time ago. Now they're getting rid of part of American Dad too.

@mirage_so3: Netflix is relying too much on their original programming and letting key shows that I love watching go to Hulu when that was the original reason I signed up with their service. I don't want multiple subscriptions to every company who wants to copy the Netflix format.

Let it be known ffs, that Eddie "Illiterati" Makuch has the ONLY COPY of Wild West West (as he has typed it out in the article). The rest of us are stuck with the Will Smith flop, Wild Wild West. We are all inferior in relation to Eddie's collection.

Those Justice League cartoons are so good. I actually binged watched it a few weeks ago when I heard it was going to be removed from Netflix. Though the original first 2 seasons was better than unlimited.

@waelse1: I dunno man, After Earth was pretty unwatchable. I like Smith just fine but watching him desperately try to give his talentless kids a career got pretty uncomfortable for a while there.

@michael-ibbett: Iron Fist wasn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be, but it's certainly not as good as it could have been. At the very least, it would have been better if they'd spent more time on the fight choreography. It should have been at least as good as Daredevil, but it wasn't even close. I also could have done without all the corporate drama.

@michael-ibbett: Iron Fist gets a little better. Give it a few more episodes. It takes awhile. But if you don't like Kung fu type shows/movies. Then it won't get better at all.

@Prats1993: I don't think it's even close to his best. I still have to hand that to "Plup Fiction," with a close second to "Reservoir Dogs," and a close third to "Kill Bill, Vol. 2."

As for single scenes, although he wasn't the director, his writing in the scene of "True Romance" between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is damn iconic. Both actors were also brilliant.

@Prats1993: IDK about best but Jackie Brown was really good...

i'd kinda say the kill Bill ones are the best cus they kinda linked the other movies together....

Michael Madsen's sword was the one Travolta used in Pulp

the suitcase we see in Pulp is what the resivior Dogs crew stole....

in Jackie they mention the snake charmer, that's Bill, his female assassin squad all having snake codenames.....

there's a few other bits here and there too.....but it's epic how all the movies are connected loosely.....each one works on it's own first and part of the rest second and it's cool....

@darthrevenx: IMO Kill Bill is EASILY the best, but Jackie Brown was really good too. (I can't actually remember one of his I haven't liked, though I haven't seen everything, I don't think.)

@darthrevenx: Madisons character in Dogs and Travoltas character in Pulp are brothers and were meant to get a film together but both aged to much for it

Uma Thurman tells Travolta about her TV series pilot she was in during the diner scene, she lists the cast members who are actually the characters from Kill Bill (Tarantino and Uma had been working on the bride script long before kill bill)

there's loads and loads of these little connections
