Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

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.

Thrive to spite them

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Up with the sun

At what point should I start worrying?

I think their web site says seven days after mailing, Anne. But it's int heir FAQ.

Thrive to spite them

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).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Why did I read "Tuesday" as "Ten days ago"? Give it a week or so.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Thanks for the Netflix advice, everyone.

Also, I may be one of the few people alive who has not seen Say Anything. I think it was because a friend of mine raved about it so much that I began to resent the movie for existing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love how in the bunnified Alien, the alien is not played by a bunny, but is wearing bunny ears tied to its head.

(Whitefonted because one might find it funnier if unspoiled.)
