Re: Movie
Yeah, damn that company that started in 1985 for ripping off the Red Box.shafnutz05 wrote:Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing Blockbuster, Movie Gallery, and all those other flaming ripoffs go down in flames.
I've never used Red Box, I'm a netflix guy. And with instant watch becoming a bigger selling point for them, many new (great) movies are being added weekly.
Does Red Box have blu-ray?
*edit*
Obviously you meant rip offs in that they charge you too much money, not that they ripped off Red Box...

Re: Movie
Wait a second, just to clarify...I think Blockbuster and Movie Gallery that charge like 3 or 4 dollars a night for a "new release" to be ripoffs. I am a Netflix junkie now, previously Redbox. I like them...just to clarify.

Re: Movie
I still remember the day my family switched from Beta to VHS, went to rent a movie, and they had 3 on beta, in fact I think I still have my first ever VCR, and the first movie my family ever rented was Raiders of the Lost Ark. Weird. Regardless of picture quality I kinda miss VHS, at least when you rented a movie, you didnt get 3/4 of the way through only to have the disc be scratched and you dont see the ending.SolidSnake wrote:Renting movies is soooo 80's

Re: Movie
I think your pricing is off. It's 4 dollars for a new release at Blockbuster, but that's for two nights without late fees. BB is good if you don't plan on watching the movie the night you rent it. And there is something to be said about looking through the library with physical DVDs, especially if you don't know exactly what to rent.shafnutz05 wrote:Wait a second, just to clarify...I think Blockbuster and Movie Gallery that charge like 3 or 4 dollars a night for a "new release" to be ripoffs.

You remember the first VHS you rented? I can beat that. I still have the last VHS I rented.Chefpatrick871 wrote:I still remember the day my family switched from Beta to VHS, went to rent a movie, and they had 3 on beta, in fact I think I still have my first ever VCR, and the first movie my family ever rented was Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Re: Movie
VHS of the show....I believe it had four episodes. For years I dreamed about a movie adaptation of Zelda, something along the lines of the Neverending Story, but it never happenedIdoit40fans wrote:Was there a movie or was it a VHS of that show?

In hindsight, maybe it was best left to the imagination
