My favorite sites are slowly blending together to my displeasure! This should have stayed @ college humor.

legally paying for movies? this sounds like a new concept to me...

Framewerk

My own personal rule is that everything must be watched and returned within one week. But I play fast and loose with the speed at which the movie is watched. If it's boring, it's getting the fast forward treatment. I watched Paranoid Park in fifteen minutes and felt my life was the richer for it.

LOL! I figured this out a while ago. At first when I started buying DVDs it was all "The Passion of Jean D'Arc" and "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari." But I soon realized that I have to force myself to watch those... maybe... once, and in the meantime I've watched "The Battle of Britain" like 16 times. So now I mostly buy zombie flicks. I guess when I was in college and had a bunch of time to burn maybe it was easier to find time for a "serious" movie. Now when I have a moment to myself I just want to escape to some place where attractive young people are fleeing the living dead.

@deadhouseplantz: So that's why it sat in my queue for 8 months...

zizzle

Not true, I've watched just about every foreign documentary they have.

We actually have a rule about this in our house. 14 days. If we have anything for 14 days or longer, it goes back. We had a disc of Weeds: Season 1 for 8 months.

deadhouseplantz

Uhm, yeah. I'll keep this in mind if I ever renew my Netflix subscription.

Alright, i love College Humor as much as the next guy. But what's up with all the vids lately? I thought this was a tech news site, not break.com

@soccer1105:
Adam Frucci is friends with half the CollegeHumor staff. Not joking.

jewsrock

@shamoononon has a hebetudinous dog ★★★...: The Original BBC Coupling Series is not a foreign documentary.

Lite

Wow I'm impressed with the quality of college humour videos, very nice change from the pixelated youtube videos.

fromagesfondus

I've got a load of "must-see" movies sitting around to be watched.

They do get watched one by one, usually when I'm off work and can't find anything better to do.

"There will be blood" has been on the list ever since it got released, but one day, one day I'll get round to watching it, I know it. (having said that, I watched Saw V at the cinema instead last week...)

@bobdobbs: I was about to recommend Casablanca and Citizen Kane...
thanks, I feel like a huge dork now.

newgalactic

Ironically, I recently sent back "Be Kind Rewind" after having watched maybe 50% of it, due to the fact it was so frickin awful.

Canoehead

@Narual: You could always just return them...

se7a7n7

@deadhouseplantz: Ha Ha I think I have the same disc but from blockbuster online. Actually I have a few random BB disks laying around and they keep sending me more. Not too shabby.

Knuckles

Umm... doesn't everybody already own Citizen Kane?

[crickets]

bobdobbs

stupid.

UofITom

*sigh*
I have had the same 3 movies from blockbuster online since 2007

The Tao of Steve 08/06/2007
Last Night 09/15/2007
Freaks 09/15/2007

Narual

Not a classic, but me and my ex held on to "A Beautiful Mind" for 10 months before we finally watched it. Damn thing was just so long that whenever we decided we would try to watch, we realized we didn't have the time to or we weren't in the mood for such a "serious" flick.

I'm still shocked we ever got around to it.

jennyfur

@Narual: Bummer. Last Night isn't available from Netflix and I've had it in my queue for over a year. I've yet to see it.

CColdsmoke

I've been sitting on Purple Noon and Le Amiche for over a year. I need to take a vacation so that I can have some time to watch them.

anti-hello-kitty

@shamoononon has a hebetudinous dog ★★★★★: i like that youve given yourself five stars. they suit you much better than the ONE that giz so unjustly removed.

danger the pirate

@jewsrock: If by saying "friends with half the CollegeHumor staff" you mean "bumping uglies with that girl in the video" then yes sir, you are correct.

conformco

Maybe not the best/most epic move- but Capote has now been sitting unwatched at home since... September 9. being on the 1-at-a-time plan- that is an expensive rental!

fussball

Too funny. I thought I was unique in that I have my 300+ queue litered with classics and documentaries, and yet always move my favorite action or comedy movies to the top of the heap. We've had "Atonement" on the pile, unwatched, for months!

migs_inc

hahaha "I just wanna go home!"

colinv12

@Narual: Freaks!!! You must watch that tonight!

One of us, one of us...

BEERxTaco

@fussball: Make sure you have plenty of booze on hand when you watch it...

BEERxTaco

How do you pay for movies? I don't get it?

pretol

This is why I haven't brought myself to sign up for Netflix or Blockbuster. I know there are movies I think I'd watch but I don't know if I will get around to them. My friend rents movies from Blockbuster and I'll watch them with him. I think it's easier to watch them when I have no idea what they're about. That way I don't have to worry about whether or not I'm in the mood to watch something.

@conformco: holla

If Orson Welles hung around my house, I would be in love.

bysty

@danger the pirate: Thanks :)

shamoononon has a hebetudinous dog ★★★★★

At my house we call this "losing the netflix challenge". That's when we decide that it would be better to just send something back then to let it sit there unwatched stopping better movies from being sent.

RD

Theres the CH I know. LOL
Good stuff.

douchebagantics

I have had lapses in my Netflix viewing, going 6-8 months without watching anything, with the discs sitting on the shelf gathering dust, but it's only happened a few times over the past 7 years I've been a member. I'm usually very good about watching any disc within a week, and I often churn through them much faster. Of course, my queue is a different story. There are a good 300 or so that have been on my queue since the first few months after I joined, and I keep elevating other movies to the top. I'm constantly at 500 movies, and having to wait until I watch a few before I can add more. Damn, I love Netflix.

Barion

Now that Netflix has instant viewing for mac I may sign up again... its true though... things get busy... the video ends up gathering dust before getting watched.

OpenPotion

Geez, if it's going to be a while before you watch it, rip-and-return and get round to it in your own time, instead of wasting money.

By keeping that one movie sitting there for months, you're paying, for example, for a 3disc service, but only getting a 2disc service.

Then the economy tanked and you give up on the service alltogether...
