Always Anti-fascist!

Have you gotten into the WMD? Not that I'm in any position to reject smooching...

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I am seriously pissed off with Hollywood. Hollywood used to be my friend. They used to want to entertain me. Now, Hollywood want to be all up in my pocket every time I turn around.

When I could be smooching erikaj!

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

I have 200 movies in my Netflix queue. I don't see how Columbia House could help me out with that.

msbelle, I'm glad you got that package! I was starting to worry. JZ and libkitty should also be receiving theirs. Of course, I should have entered info about who was in the Eyes tree...I'm pretty sure it went Steph, Perkins, sumi, Vortex.

PMM, that's a lovely picture, and if anyone finds it larger, I NEED IT NOW.

Crashed big time during CPR training today, but couldn't leave, so I now feel like lobotomising myself. Ungh.

Netflix and Columbia House are both things of the bad.

JZ got her package. She was very happy and hopped around and made noises.

I'm in love with Netflix. It's sending me Homicide now. I did get an e-mail from them about the suit, but I haven't read it yet. What's the what?

Also, is the full run of eps from Homicide S1 and S2 available anywhere? S1 and S2 DVDs on Netflix are selected eps. Anyone know if that's the only way they've been released?

Um. I mean, "Hi!" How is everyone?

Yeah, I'm not seeing the downside to Netflix. Perhaps movie rental is bad?

Hec, great! Should be some fun hours. Damn them for cancelling my fun.

Thank you for asking, Brenda.

One: They lie. They have different fulfilment schedules for people who use the service to the maximum of the agreement they have uttered, versus the people they are trying to rope in.

Two: They attempt to rope people into agreements that are onerous. Pay the sum every month, even if it is not a good deal.

Three: None of the stuff they offer really belongs to them.

Ownership is a big deal for you, isn't it, Gus? Do you think that only movie studios should rent movies, or is the whole concept of rental flawed? I mean, Netflix owns the copies of the movies they're renting me -- just like any store owns anything it's selling to me.

As far as I can tell a) I'm happy with the timing of Netflix sending me movies, whether I'm maxing out or being slack--if I weren't, I'd not use them anymore and b) like with the first point, I'm an adult--even if they had tried to rope me into anything--what they charge me is well worth what I get.
