You have read the jokes in Adam Sandler’s upcoming Netflix movie The Ridiculous Six that caused Native American extras to walk off the set. Now, you can see a video of Sandler’s producers arguing with the group of Native Americans. “Here’s the thing,” one producer appears to tell the actors in the cell phone footage. “If you’re overly sensitive about it then you should leave.”
Two days ago, Native American extras on Adam Sandler’s new Netflix movie The Ridiculous Six walked off the set due to the film’s portrayal of Native Americans. In response, Netflix defended the film as a “broad satire” in which those being made fun of are “in on the joke.” So, who’s right? Well, we got our hands on the script, so everyone can judge for themselves.
Adam Sandler is currently in New Mexico filming The Ridiculous Six, his first original movie for Netflix. Details about the film are scant. We know that it is apparently a parody of the classic Western The Magnificent Seven; we also know that a portion of the film features portrayals of American Indians so offensive that a dozen Native actors, including the film’s “cultural advisor,” straight-up walked off the set yesterday.
Today, Entertainment Weekly brought us a gift from the Netflix gods in the form of the first scene of Orange Is the New Black's next season. And it is weird.
The trailer for the new season of Orange Is the New Black was released Thursday, and it looks like things are about to get intense. Well, more intense than usual.
It's hard to say what Yahoo! is, exactly: your grandma's favorite search engine (!)? a convenient place to set up your fantasy baseball league (!)? just a sneaky means of getting us to look at more ads (!)? The company we don't understand now wants to add one more item to the list of things it may or may not be: a Netflix competitor (!).

No need to make dinner reservations or even shower this Valentine's Day as Netflix's second season of House of Cards will be released Feb. 14. The trailer was released today with a promising synopsis:
Editing is at an all time low at the LA Times during the holidays; Leonardo DiCaprio does not want you to keep calm and party on; don't feel bad about stealing Netflix from your ex-girlfriend; and Ty Burrell is taking a page out of the Wilson-Vaughn playbook.
Netflix released today the trailer for Greg Whiteley's original documentary, "MITT," and while it's only two minutes long, it sure is something—full of quotable lines, it's unintentionally hilarious even when attempting a gentler touch.
Perez Hilton finally achieved his goal of being famous, in the most ironic and exploitative way possible; Netflix is giving you the best Valentine's Day gift ever; the terrifying nightmares of your youth are back to haunt you; and Cats is being turned into a movie, because, Hollywood.
Kevin Spacey is taking a page from the Francis Underwood Negotiations Playbook; Channing Tatum is exercising his groin…for you; the greatest wedding of our time is well on its way; and you can now buy movies and shows you don't really want for a very expensive price from Comcast.
Jimmy Kimmel speaks to "Rob Ford" about drunken stupors; Cameron Diaz can't act her way out of a bad accent; superhero overkill is coming to Netflix; and Olivia Benson is getting exactly what she deserves.
Nick Offerman finds yet another way to reference sex; One Fine Day when she first came to Hollywood, Michelle Pfeiffer was in a cult; Anchorman 2 wants all your money; and Netflix just wants an oscar.
Netflix is hinting at a little more Crazy Eyes while we all wait desperately for Season 2; NPH remains the best at everything ever (except hosting the Emmys, but neither here nor there); the BBC is now taking on bad reality TV fare; the Wikileaks movie had nowhere near the impact of actual Wikileaks.
With its 9 Emmy nominations and 3 wins, Netflix's House of Cards didn't just shatter the fourth wall, it shattered records for online content as well. But is it going to call its own government shutdown after just two seasons?
