Neflix Quagmire
Have any of you gotten "stuck" with Nefflix?
I have had the same three movies out for....I'm not going to admit how long. I never seem to be in the right mood for them. And so they sit. And so I pay $15 a month to not watch 3 movies a month. For the record, my three movies are:
1: Ikiru
2: Requiem for a Dream
3: Anger Management
Give in and just send them back! Thats what I say. Anyone else willing to admit to this and disclose what movies they have?

OK, two confessions:
(1) BLOCKBUSTER: I owe so much money to Blockbuster for late fees (not that you or they care, but I dispute the fees; the Reserve Room Library level fines were racked up in the bad old days of late fees - yeah, like their new system is an improvement!) that I will not darken their door ever again. My kids are under the impression that I might actually be arrested should I try to rent movies from Blockbuster; who am I to destroy their innocent image of me?
(2) NETFLIX: I had Netflix on a trial basis for longer than I care to admit. We got our three movies, and we finally watched one of them ("Road to Perdition," the one where Tom Hanks plays the hit man for the mob). We never watched the other two movies and I cannot even recall what they were. I think I cancelled Netflix after four months, and only after my husband asked me why the heck we had it.
(3)WEBSITES: While were on the subject of wasting money each month, I pay to have our Girl Scout troop's website. I do not know how to set one up and I do not particularly care to learn, but I was hoping one of our 15 8th grade scouts would take the bull by the horns and make a "real" website for our troop. The lame-o website can be found at www.troop846.net. Go ahead, laugh. I have spent money on this each month and it is NEVER, EVER used. Any volunteers?
(4) OTHER WASTES OF MONTHLY FEE MONEY: Someone please tell me their dumb story about paying monthly fees for crap they never use so I won't feel like such an idiot.
I have to admit that I too pay a monthly fee to NOT watch movies through Netflix. However, if you have roommates, it makes it even harder. If they have expressed any interest in the movies, you feel compelled to wait until they see it too, which only adds to the already extended waiting time. I just recently decided to make an extra effort to stop wasting money and actually watch these last week (hence, the comment)
My 3 month movies were:
1) Motorcycle Diaries (finally watched and it's good)
2) Oldboy (Interesting and sickening at the same time)
3) The Office: The series (the original from the UK, hard to understand but gives at least one solid laugh per episode)
