'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I guess they exist, but they seem to exist in places like HBO, you know?
That seems to have happened with a number of genres. The "weepie," for instance. Used to be, Joan Crawford or Norma Shearer would suffer and suffer for the major studios. Now, it's someone who had a hit TV series 10 years ago suffering for Lifetime.
Sorry to divert from the Cusack topic, but I have a question. I mailed some DVDs back to Netflix on Tuesday, and have yet to hear that they've been received. Normally I would have heard something by yesterday afternoon or tomorrow morning. At what point should I start worrying?
Anne, under "Your Account" you can report the DVDs as returned and not received by Netflix (click on "Report Problem" next to the title). I did this once, and they showed up at Netflix very soon after, so I'm not sure what happens if they're really lost.
Anne , I just had the same problem. I sent back 2 dvds a couple days before I sent back another. The third got there the next day and the rest got there today.
There's an option in Report a Problem for discs that have been sent back but haven't gotten there yet, if I were you I'd report them as such.
They let a few losses slide before they ask you to stop paying. But I wouldn't report them until it's been a week or so.
At what point should I start worrying?
I think their web site says seven days after mailing, Anne. But it's int heir FAQ.
Everything that I've reported as Mailed but not Received (or whatever they call it) got there eventually.
If you lose a dvd then you can pay for it, but if you find it and return it they'll give you a refund (this happened to a co worker).
Why did I read "Tuesday" as "Ten days ago"? Give it a week or so.
I always like the fact that Cusack has no problems with making brief appearances in films in which he's not the main attraction. I love The Map of the Human Heart, and I'm always surprised to be reminded that his Cartographer is the first character we meet in that film.
