You didn't tell what the great foreign movies you'd seen were.

Or American ones.

We have a membership, given to us by a friend, in a video club that will send you videos along with the envelopes in which to return them and they have a huge inventory, or maybe it's called a library, of films, and we're going to order for the first time even though we were given the membership ages ago, so you could suggest even some hard to find things. Like maybe a top three list of arcane films we won't be able to find at Blockbuster?

I take this opportunity to register an objection about Blockbuster. If you return the film a couple of hours late, the late fee isn't a buck or so, it's the full rental price as though you'd taken it out for another five days (if it's a five day film.) So they get your extra five days' rental and can also rent it out to someone else. When I complained they told me it was, so, fair because I could take it home and keep it for the whole five days if i wanted to.

You know what our Blockbuster is doing? If you show disgruntlement, they give you a bag of free popcorn. LOL.

EDIT: I think i'll go put this on Things That Annoy Me so as to get revenge on Blockbuster, where I know no one by his or her first name.
