LIAR no sin city or pulp fiction
I’ve gone to five other websites and they all claim that this amazing list of movies was released on the 1st for streaming yet when i search any of them on netflix they’re all dvd only. why?
It appears Netflix’s API was giving out faulty info and SIN CITY, PULP FICTION and THE CROW are not available today (there is a deal in place with Miramax for these to come out eventually though). I’m just as angry as anybody else about this because I like handing out good info (and using their services) but that’s why I include the disclaimer.
None of the Miramax releases actually came out (not just SIN CITY, PULP FICTION and THE CROW – seems to affect every Miramax property), despite Netflix’s API data saying they would. I usually find a few discrepancies on major release days, but this is definitely the biggest one I’ve seen.
All the Miramax Films featured above are now scheduled to begin coming out starting June 1st…
