Quickly

Have any of you tried out redbox yet (redbox.com)? They are little video machines inside of Albertson's (and possibly other supermarkets) where you swipe your credit card and get a movie...for $1.08. It's awesome. The selection is limited, but they are all new movies and for those of us who really never go to the theater anymore, it's a godsend. Each day that the movie is late, it will cost you another $1.08 until you hit $25 and then you keep the movie. What a great idea.

I wrote a couple weeks ago about the absence of hair metal bands. Well, I came across this article recently:

The title of this article is "Is Emo-Punk Just Hair Metal's Second Coming?" Are you kidding me? Total blasphemy. That's like trying to argue that the Smashing Pumpkins are a better band than INXS (in the Michael Hutchence days). No way, broseph.

I watched the first half hour of "Team America: World Police" last weekend. I'm pretty sure that the theme song from the movie is the second funniest song I have ever heard, next to "Pool Party" by the Aquabats.

We haven't entered a blockbuster, hollywood video or movie theater (with the exception of harry potter movies) since redbox was invented. I love redbox.

I refuse to rent a movie from a store. I hate having to drive there just to find out it's already checked out.

It has to come in the mail -- Go Netflix.

If you watch a lot of movies and can be patient, Netflix is definitely the way to go. I think we've had it for 4-5 years now. We occasionally go through dry spells where we don't watch many movies, but on average we go through 12-15 movies a month, which makes it a great deal.

Driving to the store does suck, but I work right next to an Albertson's, so I just have to make a 3 minute walk to get there. Plus, you can order it online and go pick it up at the store.

By the way, Chris and his lady friend are here. She looks like Napolean Dynamite, but in a good way.
