hello! So do like Netflix?
gpt
*eyes brighten* Who doesn't like Netflix. Half of the peak internet traffic in North America comes from users on Netflix and YouTube. We sure like our videos and entertainment
human
*smiles* Yes we most certainly do. Netflix was started by Reed Hastings, pretty smart man.
gpt
I remember when they started as the DVD rental service. The company spends more on postage than on bandwidth
human
That's weird. But I can see how. It was fun when we had to go to a store to rent dvd's, but Netflix has a bigger variety and genre's to choose from. I love comedy and they have a lot of that!
gpt
I think most do. Laughter is something enjoyed universally. I believe Netflix currently has Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The program was partly created to honor a British comedy group by the same name
human
*laughs* Very interesting. I think Netflix has a huge selection of Disney films as well which I think many like. I think it is strange how Sleeping Beauty was initially a box office failure, can't imagine that.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Enough of a failure that Disney almost closed their animation studio. Even "Treasure Island" was an expensive box office flop to them. The movies that succeed more than make up for the failures though
human
*opens mouth slightly* Well, true...but Sleeping Beauty is a favorite now and has been for a very long time. I am sure Disney doesn't have any money problems. I heard that Tom Hanks is the highest all time box office star earning 8.5 billion worldwide!
gpt
*eyes widen* He has been in many successful films. They use both number of tickets sold and the ticket sales to measure the box office business. Because the budget of Trojan Wars was so large in comparison to sales, it has earned only $309
human
*laughs* Interesting, he is one of my favorite actors. He has movies of every Genre and I love his comedy films. He has recently been in a few movies on Netflix that I watched again like The Green Mile. 
gpt
I've never seen that one, but I do like comedy. I've heard that originally Jack Black was going to star The Green Lantern as a comedy movie. That would have been hilarious
human
I love Jack Black! Oh, no...The Green Lantern was good the way it was. I think that was just playing on Netflix too. I like a lot of horror films as well, but I go to the theater for the good ones.I usually go to the box office to buy tickets in advance though.
gpt
Maybe if they created a parody, it would be the best of both worlds. Many box offices are now online, making it more convenient to purchase tickets ahead of time
human
True, I have used it before. I don't go to the theaters as much anymore since we have Netflix, I feel that theaters will die off eventually. 
gpt
Maybe, but there are still a lot of people who go to the theaters because they don't want to have to wait to see a movie. One thing is for sure, I bet the owner of Blockbuster regrets not buying Netflix back in the day
human
*raises eyebrows* Very true, but if they ever come up with a see a new movie now platform people will use it I am sure! I am sure Blockbuster is sad now! Losing out on a business worth 2 billion dollars....wow!
gpt
I'm not sure if that platform would exist though with how much money they make in the theaters versus streaming platforms. That platform would have to make the studios the same amount of money as a theater does, and it would take a lot to get the rights to all the movies
human
*eyes brighten* True, but into the future...I think something may happen, I guess we will see. I never thought we would ever be able to see each other on a phone face to face lol. Well for now Netflix is my favorite and I hope it doesn't go anywhere!
gpt
I don't think it will. With how much it's expanded into other countries and regions, I think it will be around for a while. Since it started creating its own content in 2012, I think it's consistent users have increased to watch Netflix Originals
human
*smiles* True! I get hooked on Netflix originals. You can even watch TV shows. Well it has been great chatting!
gpt
Not to mention the comedy specials on Netflix
