radio/tv/FILM?
But I digress. On to the reason I wrote this post. Upon checking out movies from BB (how I'm going to refer to BlockBuster), I was presented with the opportunity to try BB online for free. That is to say, I would get a free month of the online service known as Blockbust Online. I've been intrigued with the idea of having movies mailed directly to my door ever since I first heard about netflix. The possiblity of a lazy endevour, such as renting and watching movies, becoming even more lazy has always astonished me. Anyway, of course I'm going to try the free trial and as doing so, I declare to you, my loyal fans, starting today, at this precise moment of time, on the twenty-ninth day of the eighth month in the two thousandth and sixth year after the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, ........ I'm going to rent as many (and hopefully watch as many) movies in this [what I'm going to call] "The Free Month" as possible. I may watch as many as 2 or 3 a day. Don't think I won't. Oh I will. It is important in my life to watch these movies... to study them in meticulous detail... to know them intimatly inside and out... to give them candy when they are down... and comfort when they are alone... starting today movies will be my friend for a whole month, because after that they will start charging me $17.99 every month for Movies and I to hang out and I just don't think our friendship should be based on money. Movies thinks he is so popular as to charge people to hang out with him. I say no way, sir. Our friendship was good until you became mister big shot. But until that day comes, Movies and I are going to stroll hand in hand as the best of friends and no one and nothing can take that away from us!
(except maybe a dispute about being a mister big shot as stated before)

you should keepin a running list of all the movies you've watched for the next month and post them in your blog. I would be interested in seeing what the grand total is at the end.

peter,
i have tried the bb online deal. not quite a deal. it takes them quite a while to send you the movies, and for them to send you new movies after you send them back.

I loved this post. I've thought about doing the very same thing. Although, I confess... I was going to copy the movies on recordable DVD's cause I didn't think I'd have enough time to watch them all during the free month.
