NetFlix
I finally broke down and signed up for NetFlix. I usually don’t have time to watch a lot of movies. In fact my DVD collection is only about a dozen DVDs. I usually watch movies when they’re on HBO or Showtime, or if it is something I really want to see I’ll order it on pay-per-view (I have DirecTV).
I like watching movies, but I am so sick of 90% of the crap that Hollywood puts out. It is boring, and to me, very predictable. A real plot twist would be a movie where the person you think is the bad guy actually turns out to be the bad guy!
The thing that sold me on NetFlix is the number of music DVDs they have. I put about 50 in my queue within the first day. This is great because these are things that I’d like to see, but wouldn’t really want to spend the money on (since I’d probably only watch it once or twice), and most video stores wouldn’t carry them anyway.
I went with the 3 movies for $18/month. Four PPV movies would be $16, so as log as I watch 5 or more I can justify it! Hopefully if someone asks me if I’ve seen a movie I’ll remember to add it to my queue.
