Netflix

Anyone else use it? I've been using Netflix since 2001 and it's great. If you don't know the concept it's pretty straight forward. You sign up for one of the plans, I do the 3 at a time plan. This means I can have 3 movies out at a time for as long as I want. They won't ship anymore until I return one. In your account you set up a queue where you can add as many titles as you want and put them in the order you want to receive them. So once you return a movie they ship the next one in your queue. They ship and deliver very quickly, and all come in a self contained envelope so when your done you put the dvd back in and drop it in the mailbox. Nice and simple. Also they have TONS of stuff. I've always found what I wanted in their library.

I haven't tried Blockbuster's version of Netflix because I fucking hate Blockbuster.

I recently watched Smokin' Aces , DejaVu, and Black Snake Moan - easily the best. I've got The Last King of Scotland, Shooter and Night at the Museum sitting on my shelf now.

efff! Yeah I do Netflix, love it! But. I have been paying $20 for the past 3 onths for three movies that I have STILL not watched. Maybe I should stop posting on your blog and go watch them. Oh. And I probably could not name them if my life depended on it. Wait. An Inconvenient Truth; the one with Christian Bale- something, something- oh the Machinist and probably a kids movie. Love Netflix!

If I did it I would never return them. No I am not that lazy, well maybe, but seriously I love to own all the movies I watch. I am a movie freak. I do not even know how many movies I own and I do not have the time to sit down and count them.

I should try something like that anyway. I spend way too much money on movies!

Um, I do understand that because I've done it. gotta make time- like date night! and you have some awesome movies. an inconvinient truth should be a horror movie because it scared the shit out me. no I'm not one of those people who thinks we need to "do more research into global warming" the machinist is haunting. wait until you see what christian bale did to himself. fine choices carla.

jason I've recently slowed down my dvd purchases. I donated my vhs to charity long ago but I own around 600 dvds. insane for most people, but I know guys who have thousands.
