since yesterday i've been on quite the online dvd rental hunt. i don't know why but i got the urge to subscribe to netflix this weekend. i check it out and netflix still isn't operating in canada. so i looked up alternate rental places that are operating in canada. relay rentals seemed like the obvious one, with rentadvd.ca a close second. i asked around and did some research. relay rentals had the fastest service (by about a day) but it also had the smallest number of titles available (around 2,200). rentadvd.ca, on the other hand, had about 10,000 titles; and a shitload of criterion, which is where i fall in love.
so, the largest selection won and this morning i finally made the plunge. i'm now an official member of rentadvd. a happy one, at that.
i've been having lots of fun making up my queue list. this is where you come in and affect my life -- write down your suggestions for cool movies to rent in the comments section. huge thanks.
you know about spun, right? yeah, you do. jonas ackerlund film, billy corgan score, etc etc. well, as many of you know, the film's coming out tomorrow on dvd in two versions - r-rated and unrated director's cut. yeah. so i was at my video store and i see dvd cases for final destination lining up the wall. but no dvd's yet. that'll be tomorrow. then, unable to find the movie i wanted, i check out the horror/action section and what do i find? the spun cases -- with the dvd's right behind them! yep. i thought this was a mistake but no, they also had a bunch of nicholas nickelby's up too, and that's coming out tomorrow.
going to semi-indie video stores rocks.
so, i have the unrated spun dvd right here now. me very happy.
don't try and stop me from childishly gloating.
