* I'm a DVD collector. Most of the movies I buy I do want to keep.
(The Spader movie Supernova, not so much).
* I don't want to apply rental fees to the cost of any movie because I
may watch it again anyway.
* By the same token, most DVDs come with extras that I currently don't
have the time to watch before the time they would have to be returned
to the rental place.
*FTR, I do buy a substantial ****tion of my DVDs out of the $5 bins at
Wal-Mart and the $4-$5-$7 sales at Best Buy and Circuit City. It
often takes 2-3 years for even flops to make it into those bins (much
longer for far more popular movies)

No.
Even when I want to rent, I want to rent it *now* and not wait days to
get it in the mail. IMO NetFlix is a substantial waste of time just
on that basis alone. Then go into how it prioritizes who gets what
first (it ****s over loyal customers who rent a lot from it) and
there's no chance in hell I'll ever use it.

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
