Netflix reccomendations.

Another cool thing about working there; Mark Dunn's wife used to come in and rent movies on a weekly basis; and man was she smok'n hot.   I guess when you're mormon and you live in a sin filled college town, all you do is watch movies.


I also got a ton of free "broken" stuff.

What kind of movies does a Mormon rent?

I bet she watches Big Love.

[michigancat]

I'll bet she watches Orgazmo.

One time I asked a Blockbuster if they had that and the lady I asked was yelling across the store asking about it...she couldn't get it right she said "Orgasm something!!!".  Then asked me to clarify.  Then she yelled it again.  Really loud.  There were a lot of families there.  I was

Go to "Family Video".  They rent porn.  Fred Phelps picketed them alot when they first opened here in Topeka.

Here's an older, better one:  The Mission.

I worked at the Blockbuster in Manhattan for like 3 years...   






Blockbuster definately blows; Not nearly as lame as hastings.   But it was fun to work at...  One time I put the new release movies up on the outside marquee...   I always put them in alphabetical order... the movies were


The Grinch
Made
Pooty Tang


We got so many freak'n complaints about that... I left it up for 2 weeks. 




Edited: added marquee story I just remembered.

But not nearly as lame as Hasting's for movies.

WTH are you talking about Willie?  From my experience Hasting's usually has a much bigger selection and it's cheaper.

I meant lame as in everyone that worked there was a loser.  One time hastings employees actually picketed us  because we accidently rented out a movie to a customer when the movie wasn't officially released yet. 

They stood in the parking lot of the car wash with signs that said "Blockbuster releases movies illegally" or something like that...   We just went out and laughed at them. 

How much did they pay you to rent out movies?

How much did I make there?   Dont remember... probably like $6.50 an hour or something...

Man you must have the coolest life out of all of us!! Those stories are HALARIOUS!! I wish I were you man. You are so cool!!

I can't believe you would put Pootie Tang next to The Grinch!

traffic was good.

syriana was played out..stereotypical and it tried too hard.

i begged for the torture the guy got in the movie than to sit through it.

maybe need a new thread/there might already be one (?)

Watching season 1 of Californication on my instant queue.  Pretty awesome show, Duchoveny is pretty good and stuff.

I've tried to start this discussion like 4 times.  It is an excellent show.  The 2nd season is kind of cheesy but the 3rd makes up for it.  The music selection totally makes the show, imo. Each season's soundtrack is amazing. My Morning Jacket's version of Rocket Man is

Just got netflix about a month ago. Watching instantly via blu ray player is pretty nice feature. Only time I use redbox now is when they send me a free rental code (about once a month).

What a damn coincidence.  I just got done signing up for Netflix and that was the first movie I watched.  I intended on starting a thread Re: Netflix, but found this timely bump instead.  What are the opinions of those that have Netflix for an extended period?  Not as many movies as I had hoped for.  Lots of tv series though, so that's cool.  Gonna go back and watch Californication from the beginning.  (Started watching this previous season.)  Prob gonna go ahead and watch Dexter as I already own the season one set.  (X-mas gift I haven't watched yet.)  How quickly can I expect the movies in my queue to start showing up?  Should I stick with the cheapo one disc out at a time, unlimited plan or move up the food chain a bit?  TIA.

I'm hooked on Weeds.  Getting ready to start Season 5.

I love streaming.  Love Documentaries, TV series.  Love netflix in General.  Have seen some great movies that I'd never heard of through their suggestions.

Signed up late last night, first movie was shipped this morning and should be here Monday.  Netflix has tons of movies I always said I would watch sometime but haven't yet, so that will keep my queue full for quite some time.  I'll have to keep an eye out for their suggestions.  Plus, it's pretty cool to be able to stream some random movie when I don't have anything on my DVR to watch.  Really liking it so far, can't believe I waited this long to at least give it a shot.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

love johnny depp and bdt but didn't care for that movie. 

[ChicagoCat]

Prob my fav watch instantly flick of all time on there was "Kicking it"  Its a documentary about the homeless world cup.  Nota  huge soccer fan, but is was a ridiculously entertaining flick.  And they play 3 v 3 street-style soccer so it is a faster pace.  Also watched both seasons of This American Life.
