My second reaction: "holy rurol juror! rorul? rurowl?"
This is brilliant and a work of art. They should make the "As seen in" more pronounced (took me a while to find) with an IMDB link and it'd be cool to have preview clips like the autoplaying ones Netflix has but as a montage from the original source so we can see the context (though I realize that may be an unrealistic amount of work).
- extra88 3 years agoLynn, the site creator, would have a very strong ‘fair use’ defense if a copyright case was brought.
- Abishek_Muthian 3 years agoI've always been amazed and bit jealous of how 'fair use' has been enforced in U.S. especially when the movie scenes are used casually in YouTube videos like that of Wisecrack.
Curious, I checked Indian law and found detailed 'Exceptions To Infringement Under Copyright Act, 1957'[1].
Namely,
> (ii) criticism or review, whether of that work or of any other work;
Meaning I could theoretically create Wiscrack type video for a Bollywood movie and would be legally valid. But alas, I know for certain that if I'm critical of some movie or say even a TV serial I'll be sued my butts off the next day and I may or may not get vindicated in next 10 years.
I would really like to showcase the casual marital rape attempts or pseudoscience from TV serials, But it's not worth the fallout. Apart from copyright, They would file for defamation as well.
Recently an Indian media conglomerate filed $13,7 million defamation on a smaller YouTube based news outlet for criticizing their reportage[2]

- gnulinux 3 years agoI fucking love 30 Rock so much, I stopped watching it after Season 1 finale. I was addicted to the first season so I didn't want to trust myself spending more time on the show otherwise I could see myself watching the entire 7 seasons 3 times in a row and waste this fall.
- 1123581321 3 years agoNice! You saw it the way I wish I would have. The slower pace of the script after season one drives me crazy. Reportedly the change was because everyone but Alec Baldwin had trouble memorizing and filming that much. The show remained clever but season one is special.

- jacobsimon 3 years agoI came here just to say “Fake Purse Ninjas is missing” but then I saw it immediately at the top of the Action category. Amazing.

I think they compare URLs to popular other domains.

- hirundo 3 years agoI wonder if the bulk of the The Princess Bride counts as a nested flic, since it's a bedtime story. Or Aladdin (1992), framed as a tale told by a peddler. I was disappointed that the story didn't come back to the peddler at the end, it felt like an unclosed parenthesis.
- dragontamer 3 years agoThe peddler has Robin Williams voice and is therefore implied to be the genie.
The new movie also implies the genie to be the storyteller, as Will Smith tells the story of Aladdin in the live action version. But this time, the storyteller is a sailor.
------
Shaharazad was the first to tell the story of Aladdin in 1001 Arabian nights. So it always was a story inside a story. Shaharazad wants to delay her execution, so she keeps telling stories to the sultan.
--------
Princess Bride novel is written by fictional authors, who are providing historic and dueling commentary. It is clear that some of the later fictional authors have erased part of the story.
So it too is a book within a book (which translated into a movie within a movie, with grandpa removing some bits of the story to make it more palpable to the kid)
- latexr 3 years ago> Shaharazad was the first to tell the story of Aladdin in 1001 Arabian nights.
Aladdin’s tale wasn’t part of the original text[1]:
> Known along with Ali Baba as one of the "orphan tales", the story was not part of the original Nights collection and has no authentic Arabic textual source, but was incorporated into the book Les mille et une nuits by its French translator, Antoine Galland.

From the “Contribute” page[1]:
> Nestflix is a wiki dressed up as a streaming platform that catalogs fictional films and tv shows inside real movies and tv shows.
The Princess Bride scenes were neither film nor show, so it doesn’t count.
> Or Aladdin (1992), framed as a tale told by a peddler. I was disappointed that the story didn't come back to the peddler at the end, it felt like an unclosed parenthesis.
That was the original idea[2][3].

- hirako2000 3 years agoBrilliant. I tried searching for titles I consider good, and see how it would perhaps recommend good related titles since its so good at recommending junk related titles to the junk on the front page, then I figured what's going on. Amazing. Should replace the Netflix home page since it would make no difference anyway.

This one had me dying with laughter! I read the punchline in Richard Attenborough's voice.
- webmaven 3 years agoSurprisingly complete, but there are some missing.
"The Sun Also Sets" is the fictional soap opera in the 1991 movie Soapdish.
Ultra-Max is the fictional (and lethal) game show in the third season of Futureman.
Not sure if "Pigs in Space" from The Muppet Show counts.
And I suspect there are a lot more missing from the Simpsons, like "Blood on the Blackboard: The Bart Simpson Story".
- timvisee 3 years agoThumbnails don't load in Firefox because .avif images are used.
- extra88 3 years ago.avif files should only be requested if your browser thinks it supports .avif, otherwise .jpgs are requested, thanks to the <picture> element being used. I got the .jpg versions in Firefox (91).
CanIUse [0] says the format is supported in Firefox only "via the image.avif.enabled pref in about:config." Sounds like you have it enabled but either actual support is buggy or the site's .avif files are somehow out of spec.
- Jap2-0 3 years agoWith avif enabled in Firefox (latest nightly), the images do not show. Loading them directly shows "The image "https://nestflix.fun/img/_header/header-bg-1280w.avif" cannot be displayed because it has errors".
I'm not sure if this is an image error or a Firefox issue, I have heard about Chrome being more lenient than spec when loading avif images. I might look into that a little more and maybe file a Firefox bug to see what they think, I'll update here if so.
- Jap2-0 3 years agoThis does appear to be a case of there being an actual spec issue with the image, and Firefox being more strict than Chrome. If anyone is curious I can post the exact errors (although they're rather verbose), otherwise I ran it through the AOM validator[0].
I'm finding two relevant Firefox bug about being more strict than Chrome[1][2], but neither of them seemed to cover this case specifically. I'm considering filing a bug about it, but doing so would link my bugzilla account (full name and whatnot) with my HN account.

- Jap2-0 3 years agoApparently newer versions of Chrome are equally strict and would also produce an error. The issue is now fixed.[0]
- Jap2-0 3 years ago
- timvisee 3 years agoRocking the latest Nightly (93.0a1 2021-08-15) on Linux, which has AVIF enabled by default. Maybe the implementation is broken.
- extra88 3 years agoYou're running not-even-beta software so it not working is the most likely explanation.
The .avif files do load in Chrome. I found them to be noticeably blurrier than the .jpg so I think they overdid it on the compress. It makes the site look more like Amazon Prime Video than Netflix.

- alibert 3 years agoFYI, the domain is blocked on quad9 DNS.
Seems like the IP was used as C2C some years ago.
- dstaley 3 years agoThe site is hosted on Netlify, which I believe in turn uses AWS for some infrastructure. Looks like Nestflix got unlucky and was issued a reused IP address for its A record.
- profmonocle 3 years agoI'm surprised AWS doesn't monitor these blacklists and remove IPs from circulation until they can get them delisted. This has to be a common problem.
Or maybe they do, and Quad9 just isn't one they have a relationship with.

Also, missed opportunity for "Metaflix"
