Starz gone from Netflix? Nooooooo!

The other "Big Red" has gone and misplaced something again...
The often misspelled "Starz" is officially gone from Netflix. Bye bye Tangled, Spykids, and the never-ever-will-see, Secretariat. You have been replaced by even lesser known Foreign films and boring documentaries that no one cares about. Netflix tried to renegotiate a contract but Starz probably said--Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice--well we are too greedy now so, suck it!


"Pay-cable network Starz struck a four-year licensing deal with Netflix back in 2008. Netflix had been trying for months to negotiate a new contract, but talks fell apart back in September.
Starz said it ended the contract talks because of "our strategy to protect the premium nature of our brand by preserving the appropriate pricing and packaging of our exclusive and highly valuable content."
Meaning: Starz wants more money. Netflix was able to score cheap contracts years ago, when streaming video hadn't fully broken into the mainstream. Now that streaming video is so popular, providers are upping the price tag for their content."

Really Starz? valuable content? Where ever am I going to find a 10  year old movie that got horrible reviews if you don't stay with Netflix? Maybe Netflix thought that since Starz is too stupid to spell "Stars" correctly, then they would be stupid enough to accept such a cheap offer. Fine then--I guess I will re-watch Toy Story 3 cause I heard that the ending changes when you watch it a second time...wait...what...that is gone too? WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO!?!?!
