By now, it’s an accepted fact that Netflix is more interested in producing content than maintaining and curating their library with anything resembling care. At this point, looking at what’s leaving in February, which you can take a look at below, and comparing it to what’s being added throughout February looks like an almost direct trade. There are about as many good or great movies leaving as there are ones being added on. WithMagic Mike,Milk, andSuperbadall being added to the library, masterworks likeThere Will Be Blood,Trainspotting, andSomewhereare being ditched. AsBabe,Babe: A Pig in the City, andParis IsBurningjoin the ranks,Extract,Clueless, andAn Inconvenient Truthmust be shuffled off. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to get too frazzled about this kind of trade-off, but for the time being, there’s still a small sliver of disappointment that rises to the top whenever I see Netflix watering down its once-impressive catalog.
