I should cancel my account for a few months
Is this some sort of strange post-Lent thing? I think I'd prefer self-flagellation.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Heh, no, I save my masochism for other things. It's just that I go weeks before guilt finally forces me to watch the stuff I rent. Meanwhile, I own quite a few DVDs that I haven't watched. So the whole thing is a waste of money right now. I figure if I'll get through the backlog of things I own, then when I really want to watch other things, I can reopen the account. And in the meantime I'll have saved a few dollars, which wouldn't be terrible.

You and your practicality!

Well, it's more a desire to offset the money I keep spending on other impracticalities. A month without Netflix will pay for a copy of Five Fists of Science!

For me, Netflix is validation for my habit of not being in the mood to watch a particular movie for the entire four or five days that I'd normally have it rented from a video store. I'm saving money in late fees every month! (Giving the finger to Blockbuster also factors in to my enthusiasm for the service...)

Is this anything like The Five Deadly Venoms?

I'm somewhere between that and being too lazy to remember what I wanted to rent at the local video store.

It's a comic about how Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla tried to save the world from the evil machinations of Edison and J.P. Morgan.
And there may or may not be a Yeti.
I'm a little bit excited about it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And there may or may not be a Yeti.
Schrodinger's Yeti?
