first month of Netflix

[fflo]

16 DVDs

7 movies; 9 TV [4 of 'em Six Feet Under]

of the movies, 5 narrative features; 1 documentary; 1 comedy concert

I'm sure I won't keep up this pace indefinitely, but so far so fantab.

We awready tawked about this, but I love 6 FT UNDER. Recently I rejoined Netflix so as to watch the L Word in order rather than having to skip around when getting them at Blockbuster (besides, does Blockbuster have some conservative link?)...also, several small video stores I tried just plain didn't carry the L Word. Saw the episode where Helen Shaver (Color of Money, Desert Hearts, other stuff) plays the conservative activist, and was moved to watch Desert Hearts again...haven't seen it since probably early 90s. Ordered a DVD version from half.com.

I just heard that Blockbuster not only won't rent NC-17s and such but also that they rent censored versions of stuff. maffick borrowed the recent John Waters about the sexoholics (the title slips my mind just now) and it had beeps where "foul" language appeared. Ironic, of course, as she pointed out, because the action of the film is clearly (and intentionally!) more objectionable to such "sensitivities" . . .

I'm only up through the second disc of the L word, so I haven't seen the Desert Dykes woman. I picked up a copy of that movie offa eBay a while ago, though. I do have a fondness for it. It was a groundbreaker of sorts, even if the acting is a tad clunky here and there. And it uses pop music well.
