    lol

    I despise advertisements now. Before I could tolerate them, but no longer!

    I know...I've become quite spoiled with tv as well. I'm currently watching House, MD thanks to Netflix and dread when I'm all caught up...then I'll have to watch it with commercials on REGULAR tv! :eek:

    I did that with 24. Very unhealthy habit. It was like a drug. Then I got caught up, and when watching the newest season on television, at the end of a show, I became angry because I had to wait an entire week instead of going to the next episode.

    Both are good, but last season of 24 sucked. You are correct that Lost is great! I'm totally hooked to that show. I will even watch it on television and not wait for the DVD to be released.

    i've heard/read good things about that show. perhaps we should start renting it too. need some new stuff to watch. we don't watch tv, don't have cable...so yea....DVDs are it for us. hubby and i occasionally watch PBS, but really....that's what makes netflix so great, you can get just about everything now on DVD!


    i know for sex and the city...again, i've never had cable...so renting the DVDs is how i watched the show. sure, i was always a season behind, but i didn't care. it is dangerous tho...sit and watch 3 hours straight, simply b/c you can! :p
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I'm completely and utterly obsessed with LOST. I'll admit it. I own it all on dvd.

    Topic integrity: It's amazing how many badass documentaries are out there that I never would've known about if it hadn't been for netflix!!

    I love the documentaries. I'm a huge jazz fan, and rented a Ken Burns documentary on the history of jazz. Great stuff!

    Have you seen the HBO mini series on John Adams? I'm watching that right now. It is quite good.

    Hmm..no I have not...but guess what?! I'm going to go add it to my QUEUE right now. (That was for you, d2d!)

    Also, I'm SUUUUUUUCH a dork. My roomate saw my queue and that half of my movies were docs...she won't stop making fun of me. I watched a 3 hour doc on the mormon church...fucking fascinating!!

    You've really got a fixation on this Mormon thing... You should try living in my neck of the wood. You can barely wave an axe around blindfolded without hitting one...

    That's it. I'm on the third disc....will watch another episode tonight. The book that it is based upon is much better, but it stays pretty true to the book. The book is by David McCullough, and is a fantastic biography, but quite long. Adams was a very interesting figure. After reading to book, I felt as if I knew the guy personally.

    Yeah, see...there is NO way I could live in Utah. I'd get too frustrated being around them all the time.

    That being said...I KNOW I have an obsession with them...I blame Jon Krakauer.

    I bet you right about now, garlic is pretty jealous..

    I personally prefer blockbuster over netflix because you can return it to a store and have instant results. And I love me some instant results.. and garlic.

    So I used to do the Blockbuster Total Access thing a while back and at that time you could return the envelopes to the store and get another movie for free.

    I checked it out the other day, now you have to pay $2 for an in-store exchange?
