So, I was actually doing a pretty good job of updating regularly there for a while, huh?
T-minus 1 day 'til X-mas, and I'm relieved. Yeah, I'm looking forward to the festivities and all, but I just want to relax. For some idiotic reason, I opted to take a third job again this holiday season, so my free time has been virtually nonexistent. I did manage to get most of the movies I had in mind reviewed for the site this season, and I may still have another one in the bag, although it might pop up a few days after X-mas day. We;ll see.
Not a whole lot of news in my world, but I figured I owed you a bloggy update before the holiday season wrapped up. But I do know this: The Socs are gonna kick some Goonie ass when this is all said and done.
I finally joined the rest of the 21st century and joined Netflix at the end of September. I had balked on joining previously because I get so busy sometimes that I'll go a month or more without renting a movie, and didn't figure I'd get my money's worth. But when I was doing the Troma tribute for Halloween, I needed quick access to a decent number of Troma DVDs, not readily available at the local video holes. Also, the price dropped to 17.95 a month, so I fugured it was as good a time as any. After Halloween, I have since rented three more movies, all of which have been sitting in a stack next to my television for a few weeks. Not exactly getting my 17.95 worth this month.
So while scouting for some good stuff to review this Christmas, Netflix disappointed me. They didn't have a very good selection beyond what you can find at any old video store chain. Netflix was also kind of annoying me by not carrying some non-movie stuff I've been wanting to see. So I did something I might regret. Like Anakin Skywalker, I was lured in by the dark side.
I joined the Bl*ckB*ster online rental club.
I hate to say it, but they have a better selection than Netflix. Also, they're 50 cents a month cheaper. But I'm not giving up on Netflix. I figure that the Blockbuster thing will be temporary, and I'll go back to the innovators before too long. But I was feeling like I needed to confess this little sin to somebody, and because I'm not a practicing Catholic, you were my only outlet.
I waqs going to write some Star Wars pondering here, but I realized that it probably made me seem more nerdish than I felt like being right now, so I abstained from it. Enjoy the holidays, and be on the lookout for new articles in the next couple days.
