Smallville

Oh, dear (Smallville spoiler about a new character being introduced next season). I'm not sure how I feel about this. At first glance, it seems REALLY cheesy. But we'll see...

And here's an article on "Netflix Guilt." I solved my Netflix Guilt by going to the 2 movies/month plan. I can definitely manage to watch two movies most months, so there's no guilt that I'm wasting money. Each movie ends up costing me $2.50 to rent.

Oh, the Netflix Guilt. Thanks to the pointer because, um, yeah - I have a problem.

Hee. I can't imagine being on an unlimited plan; I'd always be trying to get the most for my money and then feel bad when I couldn't manage to watch at least 2 movies a week.

Ohhh, I totally have Netflix Guilt. Ha! What a great article.

I have DVR guilt--all the shows I recorded but didn't have time to watch and now the DVR's 89% full and I've got to delete something...but at least it's not costing me money. :)

Oh yeah, I have THAT too! I'm doomed all around, basically. Heh.

I'm on the 3-fer plan, but I use two of them with tv shows (Smallville and Gilmore Girls) and one for a movie. So far it works out. I can't imagine keeping something for months though, I'd just return it, geez.

Once I kept V for Vendetta for about a month or so (when we were on a 4 per month plan). I didn't want to see it, but I thought my husband would enjoy it. But he wasn't in the mood to watch it, I guess. I think I finally gave up and sent it back.

I hate that, when you aren't sure if you want to see it, I end up moving my queue around like a p/t job. ;P

Yeah, the Smallville spoiler is funny. But, you know, anything that offers the hope of a move away from Lana-centrism is fine by me.

Dude, I'm on the two movies a month plan with Netflix, and I don't even use it that much. Or maybe one a month? I don't even know! Because I don't even rent one movie a month. I have one movie, and I've had it for months, and meh. I neeeeeeed to be able to just go out and rent a damn movie right when I want to, because by the time I've waited a couple of days for it I'm out of the mood. But my darling husband has racked up late fees at all of the movies places around here over the years, and since I refuse to pay them and he never gets around to paying them, I'm screwed. Rar.

Yeah, I do often get out of the mood for movies I've rented. But it's not like Blockbuster is going to carry the movies/TV shows I most want to see anyway. I'm sure they don't have Roar available!

OMG I only signed up for 1 movie a month and I've sent back one unwatched--because I couldn't get the director's voice-over to turn off! But I usually watch them within a week...unless I'm trying to get the Scholar to watch too, then it can be the better part of a month.
