I actually own both Reservoir Dogs and The Big Lebowski on DVD… they’re among the movies I can watch over and over again and never get bored of 'em, a rather short list as it turns out. I find Netflix is a perfect way to ‘test’ movies… I can get it sent to me, watch it, see if I like it. Don’t pay big bucks at the theater, don’t buy a disk that I don’t like. (With a few exceptions, but that’s fodder for another thread) Currently in my mailbox, gonna go get 'em here in a bit: 1 200 Cigarettes R Comedy 2 A Night at the Opera UR Classics 3 Of Mice And Men PG-13 Drama And in my Queue, some of which has been sitting there for a while now: Frank Zappa: Baby Snakes NR Music & Musicals Harold and Maude PG Comedy Cowboy Bebop: The Movie R Anime & Animation The Magnificent Seven UR Classics Grosse Pointe Blank R Comedy The Madness of King George PG-13 Comedy Cyborg 009: Disc 1 NR Anime & Animation Night on the Galactic Railroad NR Anime & Animation Spider-Man: Season 1: Disc 2 NR Television X-Men: Evolution: Season 1: Vol. 3 NR Children & Family ---

It’s absolutely terrible. Watch Reservoir Dogs twice instead-- you’ll want to anyway. I’ve seen Bad Lieutenant. I saw it in the movies, in fact. My son has been dying to see it and I kept telling him “No. He’s just too bad. Bad, bad lieutenant.” Now he’s seventeen. I liked Bad Lieutenant. Well, the parts I watched when I wasn’t closing my eyes and cringing. ---

Explain Netflix to me. I think I understand the basic premis - you pay amonthly fee and they send you up to 3 DVDs you can watch and return. When you return those, you get three more. But can you designate which you want to see when? I mean, what if you really want to see Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and that’s number 25 on your list? Or you’re in the mood for action/adventure and the next three movies on your list are romantic comedies? How long is the turn around once you send the movies back? I usually just buy movies used at Hollywood video. StG ---

You can re-arrange your queue at any time, putting whatever you want to see at #1. Of course, if a movie is already being mailed to you, you can’t change that, but it only takes a day for them to arrive. You don’t have to rent them in blocks of three, three is just the max you can have out. (They offer more expensive packages where you can have up to 8 movies out, and a budget package with only two movies and a limited number of rentals a month.) Of course, getting the movies theoretically depends on availability, but I’ve never had this problem. (In other words, all the movies I’ve wanted have been available when they were at the top of my queue.) In the situation you describe, you would simply move seven brides to the top of you list, and that would be the next flick shipped out to you. Or you could move your three romantic comedies up top, if that’s what you wanted. For me its a three day turnaround. Usually I’ve got one movie at home, sometimes two. I rarely buy DVD’s because I’ve got enough damn clutter with my books and music, and there are few movies I’m going to see over and over. Of course alot of people do buy movies and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with that. 🙂 ---

Generally unless a movie is a total waste i’ll see it through. I like Asian fantasy so I should be OK with it. I just saw Tsui Hark’s _Green Snake_ which I really liked despite some cheesy parts, and _Ugetsu_ is one of my favorite movies, so I’m looking forward to Kwaidan. BTW, _Faraway, so close_ is OK, but don’t expect it to be nearly as good as _Wings of desire_, which is Wim Wenders best movie, IMHO. ---
