Don't go to Blockbuster. They're scammers. It's been awhile since I've been there, but they had a "3 day rental." Well, not really. If you rented it on Tuesday night, you had to return it Thursday morning. Yeah, 3 days my ass.

I could go other routes...like netflix, which i have done before and i like.

I dont have any problem with tha 3day scam. Mostly because if i rent a movie at 8pm, i am watching it at 830. So its not a big deal.
Blockbuster is overpriced and over rated but its what i have around me and what i use.

I would like to use netflix again but its hard to come up with 30+ DVD's a month i want to watch.

Hey, Blockbuster's been fairly decent. I've been enrolled in their Movie Pass thing for two months, and it's great! We watch about 10 movies a week, now. As far as recomndations, 13 going on 30 was pleasant. We currently have Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD and SNL: Best of Will Ferrel.

For non family fare, you could try Hellboy or Kill Bill. Hidalgo is perpetually out.

Thats FOCKING HILLARIOUS!

no, i dont do that. i dont care about count. I click my mouse to make it not preview the post, and then i keep going with my thing. but when i start typing, forgetting i just clicked something, it sends it....so i stop it quickly. Finish and resend.

it has more to do with me be completely useless, then padding the post. If i wanted a count i would just keep going and going and going and end up with thousands.

Agreed - Joke = lame

But there was no need to explain how you made your error, and why are you so defensive about it?

It was, after all...a joke

P.S

it's Hilarious

well. . . Movie Pass: Up to 6 DVDs a DAY, 42 DVDs a week, 164 DVDs a month. . . A bit more expensive ($3) than Netflix, with less selection, but man, one can really capitalize on volume, plus instant access to new releases.

lol, alright....riddle me this batman, if someone says you're defensive and you dont believe you are. How can you show you're not?

42 DVD's?!?!?!? I couldn't possibly encode....uh....i mean watch.... 42DVD's a week.
I like netflix because of the variety of stuff i can get and its automatic and doesn't require me to leave the house. I work at night so doing 'daytime' things is hard.

It wouldn't suprise me if i had a $30 late fee's from Blockbuster. I am terrible about returning things on time.

No movie recomendations? I can never decide on what to rent.

I did see 13 going on 30, my girlfriend loves little kid movies. It was alright, def. watachable.
I was thinking something more suited for a 21yr old male...but ALL ideas are welcome

I never saw the 1st one. Mainly because i dont like kung-fu movies. And also i dont get why terrintino(sp) is so awesome. His films are like trying to use a shotgun to open a can of coke.....yeah its open, but now what? They are a little over the top.

I liked Reservior Dogs a lot, but i HATED pulp fiction and from dawn till dusk, it was alright.

I guess i could rent 1&2 and check it out.

I think pulp fiction was his deepest movie he's made. It had alot of plot too it. Pulp fiction was cool in how a bunch of different stories came together in the end.
And wtf was in that briefcase??????

Pulp fiction has travolta in it. That's a bad sign. He doesn't like man animals and tried to feed them rats.

How is it the deepest movie he has made? the Mystery suitcase? Oh come on. Most people say it has great diologe and acting. Samuel L. was good, John Travolta was alright.

I dont get why pulp fiction is a great movie. I dont get why its deep, i dont get why it's clever.

So many movies are loved that i fail to see the alure of the movie. I am by no means a movie expert, i am just someone who watches a lot of movies. I would love to learn why pulp fiction is good, then i could rewatch it and maybe enjoy it this time.

I don't think there is a universal good and bad to movies, if YOU like a movie and you enjoy it, thats awesome. if i dont, i am not insulting you. i am just expressing that i dont see the draw to the movie.
