You know I had to laugh over this when I saw your reply. I have a DVD sitting on my television that was due back yesterday. Looks like my next stop will be Netfilx. Oh wait…that’s after I go pay my late fee for this DVD sitting here

I’ve been a member of netflix ever since they started. Before their monthly membership deal when I had to prepay to rent dvds. The one thing I love is the fact I can keep the movies as long as I want. Don’t have to worry about late fees. The second thing I like is the big selection. I am a big fan of horror movies and love watching the B movies. Netflix has a great selection from the straight to dvd movies. A nice international selection as well that I might not be able to find in a local rental store. Sometimes I get in different moods where I can keep the dvds for weeks and other times I try to turn them over as fast as possible. Their shipping is very impressive. Usually I get the dvd on the day before they estimate. Having the new releases available so soon is very nice but not something I need. The biggest reason I won’t be canceling my account any time soon is because I got a special rate and don’t want to lose it. The reason I got that rate is because I joined up very early in their creation.

Wow, I couldn’t imagine getting a cable bill for $125.00!! I don’t watch that much television either so I only have the basic service. My basic cable service plus the cable internet costs $50.00/month. If I were to add all of the optional channels, it would be $90.00 for both the cable & internet. But it would be a waste of money because most times the only thing playing on my TV is cable news.
I haven’t signed up for Netflix although I seem to go back & forth on whether or not I’ll join. I realize the benefits to joining Netflix but if I give it too much thought (which is something I need to stop doing so much). I start to feel like I must be ultra lazy if I can’t go out to the flippin’ video store. And, my life is not that crazy that I just can’t hop into my car and drive a block down the street. Now, be honest…is Seed Of Chuckie really a must-gotta-see-day-of-release film? I suppose if you are a horror flick hound, then possibly it is. I do watch my fair share of horror flicks but usually only see a small part of the screen because most times I’m covering up my eyes Oh, and then there’s always having to leave the light on at night for at least a week because I’m obviously such a weenie when it comes to horror flicks
