Netflix?

[Marilyn. 340]

Well I just signed up for the free trial with Netflix Figured I would at least give it a try. Trying to find movies to your queue is hard. I don't know what I want to watch

Our nearest blockbuster is about 30 miles round trip...with gas being the price it is...I will get my movies through the mail

they have the movies separated into different sections. comedy, romance, action/adventure etc.. so if there is a certain type of movie you like to watch you can search through that certain type...

Yeah I have spent the last hour looking through everything. I have seen a lot of movies because we don't have cable...

Then when I got some on my queue I had to go and rearrange them a hundred times cause I couldn't decide which ones I wanted before others

Note to self: One more way to waste time at work

[Marilyn. 340]

we have 264 movies and TV shows in our queue right now...

Does anyone know if you sign up for Blockbuster online if there's a possibility of *only* doing the store exchange? I don't want to do the mailing because a movie wouldn't fit in our mailbox and I'd be worried that someone in our apt building might steal our movies from the entryway.

I'd love to save the money, but can't do the mailing...

mmmm, I am not sure because i think the deal is that you take the movie that they mail you and you have the option of exchanging that one at the store...

My whole reason for signing up to Netflix was to avoid having to go to Blockbuster, so the Blockbuster online thing doesn't really interest me. Plus with Netflix I can watch old Doctor Who's online.

Blockbuster Online works exactly the same way as Netflix -- you don't have to go

to the store to return or exchange the movies. *Plus* they send you free

coupons, so if you do go to the store, you can pick up a couple of extra DVDs.

Blockbuster has a reputation of editing parts of movies they find offensive.

How would they do that? They send original factory-made DVDs.

Oh, that's great Marilyn! Thanks so much. I think I'll stop by Blockbuster on my way home from work and sign up!

Does BLOCKBUSTER® edit or censor its movies?

We do not edit or otherwise alter movies ourselves; we offer all movies for rent or sale exactly as we receive them from the studios, so we leave the methodology as to how ratings are applied specifically and completely to the studios involved. We are retailers and not members of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), so we take no position on individual scenes or the overall artistic merits of a film. We are not in the content business. We are in the business of exceeding the expectations of our members and customers, and thus our goal is to offer the widest possible selection within our broad parameters of our "no NC-17 or X" standards. BLOCKBUSTER® has always tried to provide our customers with a variety of choices while maintaining our family orientation. As you know, we will not carry "X" rated or "NC-17" rated films. However, there are unrated film titles we feel may contain content unsuitable for children, and we designate these titles with a "YRV" designation, for "Youth Restricted Viewing". Although not pornographic, only members older than 17 are allowed to select these films.
