I've sat on a few things for a while and never watched them. I've also misplaced a dvd and so never returned it. I finally found several months later behind the piano. But I was continually watching and returning other discs so I didn't feel so bad about it.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The fact that I can sit on a movie until I actually feel like watching it is why I have Netflix. I can either factor things as how many movies I can have at a time, or how long I can have movies. Both are valuable in their own ways.
Okay, now I need to get to that work task that involves aggregating information from a sequence of e-mails. I hate doing that with Notes, since it's a tabbed interface.

My deciding factor is "how much would this film be costing me in late fees." Hell, I ended up paying late fees on the movies I watched right away.
Hell, I end up paying late fees on library DVDs--and the library is across the street! So if that "8th" DVD slot being taken up for a few months allows you to cycle through your other 7 more rapidly, I'd say you are probably getting your money's worth.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have THREE discs in my house somewhere that I cannot find. I keep watching two movies and returning them to get more while still being on the five movie at a time plan because they are parts of boxed sets and I am sure I will find them eventually.
That is my Netflix guilt

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Isn't this article a lot like one that was posted in Salon some time ago? I'm not sure it's not the exact same one, actually.
We just downgraded to one at a time. We're too busy / have too much media to keep up with even two.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I downgraded to one at a time also, and also have had Hustle and Flow since Feb.

But Hustle & Flow is fun. Gritty, but fun. With good music. Why the wait?

I went from five to three. If I had one, I couldn't hang onto it until I felt like watching it without backing up the 446 movies in the queue.
Which reminds me, I need to go interleave Deadwood S1 with something nice and different.

That's why I put my account on hold for a while. I'd been on the 2-out plan for a while, but it was still becoming routine for things to sit around. And plus I'm trying to save money.
I looked on Netflix and there is not any plan listed involving 8 movies
Yes, there is. It's not one of the free trial options. All the plans are listed near the bottom third of this page: [link]

Anyone ever heard of a TV network (probably German) called Kontour?
