Loved the post.<BR/><BR/>We don't have those fancy suburban conveniences like Redbox out here in the rural redwoods (in fact, we don't even have Blockbuster--which my ex used to refer to as "Cockblister Video"). Therefore, we are Netflix devotees. But we are not big movie-watchers, so we are on the very cheapest plan they offer--$4.99/mo. For $5.35 with tax, we are entitled to two movies a month, one at a time. I figure an expenditure of that magnitude is worth it, even if we don't actually watch two movies some months.PDSHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828177258626610209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-70294602872983680542009-01-15T11:06:00.000-06:002009-01-15T11:06:00.000-06:00Thanks for the tips guys.

I've heard really good things about Netflix, but since we rarely watch movies (except for cable channel movie listings) it probably doesn't make sense for us to pay the monthly fee. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like Redbox is the way to go.FletcherDodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00870340800475532887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-1023633150166913822009-01-14T21:33:00.000-06:002009-01-14T21:33:00.000-06:00Red Box is OK.

Even if you have to drive to a further Red Box to get the movie, you can return it to the once closest to you, which is all that really matters.<BR/><BR/>I pay for Netfllix, which I do via mail and instantly on my computers and Xbox. We use Red Box when we get free rentals.Chimpotlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12506150226934602028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-44955294466383921372009-01-14T20:55:00.000-06:002009-01-14T20:55:00.000-06:0027 dresses is effing TERRIBLE.Which, btw, I have a...27 dresses is effing TERRIBLE.<BR/><BR/>Which, btw, I have already racked up 3 dresses and have 4 more this summer.

Even if it combines two of the most evil companies in the world (McDonalds and Walmart). Since money's tight (for some reason), we've been renting like crazy from the Redbox. It's right in the wheelhouse of "cheap" and "conveninent".Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529071242624588615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-10437759970447975972009-01-14T17:18:00.000-06:002009-01-14T17:18:00.000-06:00I used RedBox once.

I get two movies at a time, and keep them as long as I want. Of course I've had the damn "27 dresses"* movie for about a month because the wife really wanted to see it, but hasn't watched it yet. I asked her why. Because she wants me to watch it with her. Oh the humanity!<BR/><BR/>*=I don't know how many dresses the movie title contains. If it is 27, it was a lucky guess.Old Farthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444129760761674640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-336814488476526042009-01-14T17:14:00.000-06:002009-01-14T17:14:00.000-06:00One word, Redbox.

Reserve your movie you want online at the Redbox you want (subject to availability). Return the movie to any redbox, not necessarily the one you rented it from. No, I don't work for Redbox, I just love it. $1/night. Even the time we got a scratched movie and it wouldn't play...They gave me codes for three free rentals as compensation.Marc C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05593002055776765614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-52675207151739957432009-01-14T16:58:00.000-06:002009-01-14T16:58:00.000-06:00I saw the movie and liked it, especially the endin...I saw the movie and liked it, especially the ending.
