Stuck between a movie and a hard place

Oh, Netflix.  I think you have finally done it.  I think we are finally going to bow to your movie renting ways.

So, here's the thing.  A couple of years ago, I swore off Blockbuster.  Jen and I rented some movies from our friendly neighborhood Blockbuster and we returned them (I swear we did) and those busters kept telling us we owed them "late fees."  Yeah, whatever.  So, I switched my loyalties to Hollywood Video.  And I really enjoyed it there.  It was convenient, close to the apartment and we really liked how whenever we walked in, everyone at the counter (everyone!) would say, "Hi!"  It was so warm and fuzzy there....

Well, recently, Hollywood Video has turned into Mark's Video.  We were lured in by the promise of $.99 movies.  Any movie, 99 cents!  Completely unheard of in the suburban movie store market.  Little did we know that the 99 cent thing is a weird program with lots of rules and the woman behind the counter?  Didn't say "Hi!" when we came in.  She was all, "the movies have to be back by 7pm.  No more of that midnight business, got it?"

Yeah, I got it.  I'm out.

Netflix?  You're in.
