Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

Holy shit its a spin-off of a series that also has Malcolm.

The Crazies looks good to me.

I watched the documentary Beer Wars today. It was a weak film that nonetheless had some intriguing segments, notably the scenes with Dogfish Head owner Sam Caligione. I wish the film were better though, as I am passionate about the state of the beer industry (as most of you know).

I appreciate the project itself, but the scare factor was overall pretty low.

I think it's the kind of film that any hype just kills.

If you knew nothing about it, had never heard of it... and watched it on a whim... you might think differently.

Does Netflix only have one ****ing copy of Hurt Locker and The Hangover?

Both have been "very long wait" for over a ****ing month.

Right now, the only reason I'm keeping it is for the streaming stuff I get on PS3.

For the last month, the only disks I've gotten from my cue were seasons of Weeds and Che. Everything else is very long wait, and has been forever.

Go rent movies from a Redbox machine. It's a $1 per day and they usually have copies of the new releases.

jiveturkey · 02-04-2010, 11:02 AM

I've got a pretty deep que on Netflix so it's easy for me to move good shit to 3rd and 4th place behind the "long waits". Every now and then we get lucky and a "long wait" shows up.

I'm not sure what I would do without Netflix. Are Blockbusters still around?

Yes Blockbusters are still around and you can actually sign up for online movie rentals like Netflix does. Except with Blockbuster you can take your online rentals into the store and exchange them out there.

I still just go to Blockbuster, saw both of these movies the day they came out.

I just don't get the fascination with this online crap. If you want a movie, go rent one. If you want a new release, go rent it on the Tuesday it comes out.

There's not a BB with 10 miles of me. The one down the road shut down.

Does RedBox do BluRay, or just regular DVD?

Beats me....ive never had a problem getting a new movie within 2 weeks at the latest. i believe a few movies i got were very long wait for a week and then i got them. Are you renting 'dvd or bluray' i get all bluray and i heard those seem to take longer. The longest wait ive had i believe is 3 weeks. I ususally send out my dvds on a monday back if i can, and sometimes i get lucky and get a new one right away.

I'm pretty sure it's just regular DVD.

I get BluRay only.

And I've NEVER had a problem before these two movies.

I can't think of a single time I didn't get another movie within a day.

I just sent Weeds Season 4-Disk 2 back on Monday, and Weeds Season 5-Disk 1 was in the mailbox yesterday.

I almost wonder if people are stealing them, since Netflix makes it pretty damn easy to do so, and they just don't have the inventory.
