This is a slap in the face!

Netflix is run by an idiot if they think people will buy into this. NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.

This, is straight up crap and 50 dollars for a 2 day rental of something that is already in the theaters that can be seen EVERY F'ING DAY for 6 bucks in matinee or any set day of week with cheap prices is ridiculous!!!

This will not last and no one will miss Sean Parker when he doesn't last either.
