Are all of your favorite fireplace bars closed for Christmas? Good news, it won't keep your warm, but Netflix just added a fireplace to their Instant Watch option. A Fireplace For Your Home features two versions, a "crackling fireplace" (self explanatory) and a "yule log fireplace," which plays Christmas songs along with the crackling sounds—you've probably seen it on at your grandma's house every Christmas. Each version is about 60 minutes long.

Comedy Geeks Rejoice: Party Down Movie Is Happening
The answer to the eternal question "Are we having fun yet?" may soon be yes. Late 2011 is turning out to be a great year for fans of gone-too-soon cult television. Not only is Arrested Development really, truly, coming back but the now Grantland is reporting that Starz's late lamented pitch-black cater/waiter comedy Party Down may become a movie as early as next year. What's next, a My So Called Life movie?
Confirmed: New Arrested Development Coming To Netflix
Last month, we almost blue ourselves when we heard word that cult television show Arrested Development would be coming back for one more TV season as well as a movie. After years filled with rumors, anticipation and let down, it was hard to know whether to get our hopes up yet again.

Bank Of America Officially Ditches $5 Debit Card Fee, Avoids Pulling A Netflix
It appears that yesterday's rumors are true: Bank of America is dropping their plans for a $5 monthly debit card fee. A spokesperson for BOA declined to tell the AP whether or not the fee's announcement caused an increase in account closures or flaming bags of dog poop found inside BOA ATM vestibules. The flack noted that the decision to scrap the fee was based on a "changing competitive marketplace," and said, "Over the past couple of weeks, customer sentiment changed."
Netflix Kills Qwikster, Claims They Moved "Too Fast"
You know that scene in Swingers where Mike keeps calling that girl and leaving messages on her answering machine, and it's just really painful to watch? And even he knows that with each message he's just f*cking this whole thing up, even if he's really just trying to make it better? And you're watching it all, screaming, "Just hang up and never speak to anyone again!" In our world, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings is Mike, and we, America, are the girl.
All 115 Episodes Of The Wonder Years Are Now On Netflix
Recently Netflix added The Wonder Years to their streaming option, which pretty much makes up for the whole Qwikster thing, right? That's 115 episodes of watching Kevin Arnold & Co. make the awkward transition into young adulthood in the 1960s. Remember Kevin and Winnie's first kiss?
Netflix Introduces Their "New" DVD By Mail Service: Qwikster
In the latest self-inflicted drama at the company, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings dropped this letter into the inboxes of all his customers overnight. After separating the DVD and streaming services on your bill, Hastings explains that now the DVD service is getting its own name: Qwikster. Presumably, this will make you less annoyed that you are paying more money for the same services, since they are now technically different businesses, at least in name.

Netflix Suprised More People Weren't Pissed Over Price Hike
Remember a few weeks back, when damn near everyone on the planet was seething, in a very vocal way, about the Netflix price hike? Well, it turns that the suits at the company weren't so offended by the countless "F*CK YOU!!!"s hurled their way, after all—they think it could have been worse.
