hehe, when i have a lot of inclination for seeing a movie now, I go to Video king. hehe.
that happened to me with my internet. I called yesterday to cancel my cable internet cause it was too expensive, so they gave it to me for $19.95 a month for 6 months. So, i quickly cancelled earthlink dialup until june

No....I don't
Assuming some sort of really cool and unique video store that has places in local Chigago. If so, we got a few of those around MA too called Newbury Comics. It's where I can find all my favorite Godzilla DVDs

There is no escape, man. Shell out some of that hard-earned christmas cash and buy a Tivo. You won't regret it.
If you want something bad enough, free enough, you'll find a way to torrent it anyway. Its stuff people want for a "collection" that they wind up buying. You sound like you're in packrat-guy-mode. I mean, seriously.. you really need to own Batman Begins and the Wedding Crashers (uncorked edition)? That's like me with an entire WALL's worth of the last five years of the Tour de France on videotape. I'm never gonna go back and look at more than about 15 minutes of any of it. (Bottom of Alpe d'Huez in 2001, Stage 10, for the goddamn win.) The rest of those tapes? With enough cement I could probably brick up a plastic'y addition to the house with it all. God knows they'd be of more use that way
Tivo's a scary leap of faith at first, but trust me man, once you get used to it, you'll never look back. It keeps you from wasting DVD blanks on crap. Sure, they take up less space than tapes, but you still waste just as much time snagging 'em, burning 'em, and watching 'em once, never to give them a second thought after that.
And for the record, I can't even remember the last time I actually rented a dvd or tape. Been just as long since I last downloaded one too. Now.. BUYING dvd's, that's another story. But I get considerably more use out of them than "watch once and discard" for all intents and purposes.
I would, but the Hollywood out here shut down and became a Washington Mutual outlet. The Hollywood Video place was run by incompetent assclowns as it was, just half a block down from a much-longer-established Blockbuster which had easily twice the square footage (and still manages to FUCKING SUCK).
