Oy, tell me about it. I was a wreck when I read that it might not continue, but thank the stars it is. But is it too much to ask that they bring back Sophia Lopez?

So what does everyone think now?

Alex - do you like Netflix?
Diss, are you still happy with Blockbuster?
Anyone else?

I'm debating joining one of them, can't decide which.

i had joined netflix and was pleased with thier service initially...then the shipments began to slow! i contacted customer service and they came back with a lame stock response...so i joined blockbuster and have been very pleased...especially with the free monthly in-store rentals!

I'm still pleased. I only use it for movies that are hard to find and they usually have them, so that's why I've stuck with them.

(Though it took a full two months for me to get Black Christmas.)

I'm in the same boat! Out here in the burbies in-store video selection SUCKS!

Keep the reviews coming, guys!

Is there another company with the same name I haven't heard of? Because everything I want to see isn't there. I'd love to watch that Canadian movie Will recommended and I've been after Solomon Northup's Odyssey for awhile now, but Blockbuster never has anything except the most popular mainstream movies. Are you saying there's an online Blockbuster service that has a better selection than the ****ty stores?

I don't want to try Netflix because I understand it's $9.95 at the least and I don't watch movies every month so it would be a complete waste to pay for a movie service every month when I might use it every two months or so. I mean, I don't even have a DVD player of my own, so...

yes, they have the movie you have been looking for:

Solomon Northup's Odyssey(1984)
Half Slave, Half Free is the reissue title for African-American director Gordon Parks' TV movie Solomon Northup's Odyssey. Based on the autobiography Twelve Years a Slave, the film relates the story...
Starring: Petronia Paley, Mason Adams, Lee Bryant,

www.blockbuster.com

there is the option of purchasing dvds rather than the monthy service

Thanks for looking for me, but is there a way to rent (not buy) but not have to have the monthly service? I'm thinking perhaps not, since they wouldn't make as much money off of that, right?

no, one cant rent without the monthly service fee...
you could try it for two weeks and then cancel

I have never had any problems with netflix. I usually get my movies within 2-3 days after they are shipped. I have nothing bad to say about them.

I'm still using Blockbuster online and I'm still happy! It's been several months now and I haven't had any problems. Today, I got The Muppets Take Manhattan, Hedwig and the Angry Inch and The Empire Strikes Back... if anyone cares.

We don't care, but thanks for sharing.

I'm kidding!

[hayley]

I always care when someone's talking Hedwig!

*pretending I don't dance around my house naked to "Tear Me Down" and "Angry Inch" at least once a week*

I've been with Netflix for about a year & so far I'm just thrilled with it. They sent me one DVD once that was cracked, but there's an easy policy you follow & you get your replacement the next day, practically.

About 10 percent of the time, I go up to my queue online wanting to add a particular movie, but Netflix doesn't carry it. But I'm sure that's true of the other online rental companies, too.
