If you made plans to watch something that Netflix was scheduled to deliver to you tomorrow (probably Perfect Strangers: The Complete Second Season, Disc Four), now might be a good time to find something else to do. Seems that Netflix has been undergoing some major technical issues all day, issues that have prevented customers from accessing Netflix.com since 7 a.m. this morning. According to the AP, the undisclosed issues have also had a ripple effect that resulted in problems at their distribution centers nationwide. So tomorrow night, we guess this means that you'll just have to watch something on your DVR instead. Don't worry, you'll live. That is, unless you're a stock owner — in that case, be prepared for a bumpy tomorrow. [AP]

Thank god they got me my copy of "Romeo Is Bleeding" in time...
/puts gun in mouth
This message completely changed the course of my afternoon. Instead of slowly working while Weeds was on, I worked quickly without entertainment! I feel cheated.
As long as Hulu works, it's all good...
Blockbuster Online rules*!
(*unfairly copied Netflix's business model instead of simply buying them out)
Mark, do you have that axe handy?
@drewpopo99: My god..it's finally happened.
Allow me to skip further ahead up this trend's natural course, and comment:
FIRST!
He's banned. Feel free to make an argument for anyone else and send it in.
@Seth: Ah, thank goodness!
Can we get some sort of Jezebel border patrol set up?
HEIDIHO!
Watch out! Last time I complained about Jezebel commenters I got a complete IM lashing from Lisanti.
I've already lost the Otter, I cannot lose you too.
* grabs her binky and blankie and runs in to the corner out of fear for the best Defamer commenters existance*
@TheStarterWife: Ruh roh! I don't mean alllll of them... just the ones who don't, you know, understand humor.
Damn my job! What'd we miss? Was it good?? I want to go celebrate but am not sure why/what...just the glimmer of hope springing eternal. Sorry. Giddy.
But if Netflix is down, how will people tell me they don't like my movie?
This is madness!
And I, too, want to know what happened. Maybe someone could make a movie about the comments and it could be released through Netflix and then, no, crap, that totally won't work now.
@Pomalina: @E: One of those obnoxious "celebrity"dating site promoters had been given commenter privileges, and hilarity ensued.
I miss Netflix being down and a commenter guillotine? When did I find a life? And where did I put it?
@heidiho: Many thanks for filling me in. I hate it when I miss hilarity. This is just like when all my friends saw "Weekend at Bernies" without me.
Why couldn't the site have gone down before I received that Holiday house swapping movie with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz? Someone should have stopped me.
Since I sent back my movies yesterday so they're sending out my new ones today/tomorrow, it looks like I just missed being affected enough to care! Yay!
Though I did want to reorder my queue yesterday. Oh well, I had to browse Defamer instead.
