How can I work with that?
That's not Netflix's fault. The movie studios do not want Netflix to succeed. Any new movies you see on Netflix streaming are either independant films or Starz movies. Until the movie studios get their heads out of their asses or Netflix severrely up what theya re willing to pay, Netflix streaming won't have any movies under 7 years old. After 7 years a movie has made it's run from movie theater to cable TV. So after than that getting money from Netflix is fine with them. Of course if Netflix pays more you won't get Netflix streaming for $8 a month.

Also the Runaways isn't that old. It didn't come out in the theaters until March of 2010. That's 11 months ago. I remember when getting a movie on VHS took 18 months to 2 years AFTER it made it theatrical run which may have been 6-9 months.
