TBD

TBD on Ning

Since the demise of my local video store...which one could actually walk in and browse the shelves..look over some new releases and check out some oldies,  I have now been reduced to the services of Netflix (streaming ain't me) and the oddly placed "Redbox" and the equally oddly placed "Bluebox"!

So, for the price of $1.00 plus tax, I get to choose from the sorely limited selection located in the "box".

So, dear viewers, let's extend  a helping hand  to those of us who are willing to swipe that miracle card that allows us to view what's new.

On a scale of 1 to 10...rate what you've rented from the box.  10 being worth a whole dollar!

Sorry Jaylee, I don't rent from the box. I'm a streaming kinda guy. 

Wait... I'm not saying I have a strong stream.

Crap... I'm not saying I have a weak stream either.

Ok, I've watched Islands In The Stream, Slip Stream, and Down Stream, but...

I think I better shut up.

Right before I cancelled Netflix I watched :
True Grit
Lincoln Lawyer
The Conspirator
The Company Men

They were all 8+


Since Netflix, I've watched two movies--Super 8 and Life In A Day. Both were 10's! I got them from the Library. The blue box near me doesn't always work properly and the red box is inconvenient.

I haven't watched a new movie in quite a while. I have recently watched some of the old ones that I have.

Pru got me a copy of DOGMA for my Birthday. I saw it when it originally came out but wanted to watch it again. Couldn't find it in any of the places that sell movies. So, I think she got it off Amazon.

Also rewatched "Blade Runner" recently.

Guess I'm not much help. 

I just watched "The Help" and I give it a 10!

Yes, that was a good one.

I've never tried any of those colored boxes. Or Netflix. If I want to see a movie I'll shell out the money to either buy it outright or go to a theater. Downloading it from piratebay as the third option.

Recent movie ratings:

Moneyball -  8 ( Brad Pitt is too short to play Billy Beane )

The Descendants - 8 ( Maybe George Clooney gets an Oscar for this...but I don't need his narration to follow the plot )

I'm not much for movies.....its been about four years since I rented one from a bricks and mortar store, and I've never availed myself of the use of Netflix, or the like.  I've purchased movies on DVD in the past, if I had a deep discount coupon.  I do have quite a few Marx Brothers flicks on DVD.   "Hello, I must be going......."   ;-)

sheesh. I've never rented from Netflix & don't even know what the redbox & blueboxes ARE!!

You lead such a sheltered life. ;-)
