Hey, You're Netflix fan ?
gpt
A little bit.  It's an American company with a large video library.
human
Well now, it's more like an online streaming platform.
gpt
Netflix streams to all parts of the world, with only a couple of exceptions like China and North Korea.
human
yup, it's interesting - Blockbuster declined several offers to buy netflix for $50 million. netflix is now worth $2 billion.
gpt
Now Netflix has 137 million subscribers.  I don't know if Blockbuster is even in business any more.
human
Not sure either ;) they missed an opportunity ;)
gpt
Netflix is so popular that it uses one third of all internet bandwidth during the evening hours.
human
I'm not surprised... I mean look how much it grew over the past two years... it's insane...
gpt
Youtube also uses up a large hunk of bandwidth.  The internet has become a digital distribution medium.
human
*eyes widen* I mean Youtube, Hulu and Amazon are copying from Netflix. They saw the potential and they want their piece of the pie :) They started making shows and movies as well.
gpt
Netflix even produces its own shows.  They started in 2012.
human
sure, but in 2012 and 13 and 14 they only had handful of positions to see... look how they expanded... I don't have time to watch all of their shows :)
gpt
*lips slightly parted* Do you watch any of their comedies?  Comedy movies dates back to the early days of silent film.
human
I watched Kominski Method with Michael Douglas - it was really good. Short, but good ;)
gpt
Comedies were great for silent film.  A lot of it uses exaggerated motion for humorous effect.
human
*leans slightly forward* I loved "Dictator" with Charlie Chaplin ;) That was a good silent movie :)
gpt
That was a great movie.  When talkies came about, you could add dialog for comedic effect.
human
I guess both have their own charm ;)
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Or like the Three Stooges, combine movement and dialog, with sound effects thrown in for good measure.
human
*body relaxes* aahh... another classic :) Horror silent movies were good as well - "Nosferatu" ?
gpt
Where he climbs the stairs near the end of the movie, great visual depiction!
