Even with this news, I'm still canceling Starz once Torchwood is over next week. They cancelled Camelot and have said Torchwood isn't coming back in the foreseeable future, and they were the only things I watch on Starz. Same with Showtime, once The Big C is over, I'll cancel that until just before it starts up again next year. HBO is the only one I keep around because I like both True Blood and Game of Thrones.
Movies in general don't interest me as much as series. If I really want to watch a movie, I Red Box it or just wait until it's on Netflix streaming. Even if that's a couple years down the line, no biggie. It's just a movie. If it never comes to Netflix streaming, it's their loss. I'm not paying extra money just to see a movie. -- David Risner Software Engineer MERLOT, California State University On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 4:03 PM, PGage <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 10:40 AM, David Lynch <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 12:27, Tom Wolper <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> I ask this out of ignorance and unwillingness to do the research: does >>> Starz have any original content? >> >> At least a couple of series, including the current run of "Doctor Who" >> spinoff "Torchwood", and a serialized remake of "Spartacus" which has had to >> take some extraordinary measures due to the fact that the actor who had the >> title role in the first season was diagnosed with cancer (season 2 was a >> prequel without the title character, and the role of Spartacus has been >> recast for season 3.) > > Also Camelot.
