Watch Now Movies May Be Limited Engagements

Last week I mentioned that I wrote a perl script that extracts additions to the Netflix Watch Now service by using data gathered from Netflixwatchnow.blogspot.com.

I ended up running the script a number of times this week because it kept giving me data that didn’t add up. After a little investigation, I figured out that the Netflix Watch Now service not only adds movies every week, but they also delete some of them.

I shouldn’t be surprised by this, but it certainly adds a little bit of urgency to watching some of the Watch Now movies if they might be pulled from the service without notice.
