Media junkie.
A co-worker of mine who clearly hates me and wants me to get fired introduced me this morning to Netflix on a two week free trial. I have rated 250 movies in my first hour of work and my queue already frightens me. Not just in quantity, but in quality of films.
“Yes, I do want to see Johnny English,” my brain says, “And Sinbad was probably underrated.” I hope the mail carrier isn’t a film major.
Netflix is, however, getting my eyes on some films I should have seen but was too lazy to actually rent. Why rent Waking Life or Ran or American Splendor, which might actually challenge me, when there stands the mighty Conan the Destroyer? I’ve only seen that 6 times after all.
The same discussion I have with myself at the video store nearly every time.
I’d get Netflix, but I’d never leave my house again if I had it. I’d just watch movies and wait for the mailman to arrive.

you know what? I actually own Ran. I assume you’re talking about Akira Kurusawa… Good movie. Everybody dies. If you want to borrow it, I can arrange it :)
