 Courtesy With the absence of late fees and the convenience of home delivery, renting DVDs is easier - and harder - than ever. I've got some 60 discs in my queue right now, including a half-dozen seasons of TV shows I need to catch up on. Some get mainlined pretty quickly and sent right back (The Fountain, Match Point), some linger around for multiple viewings (Miracle, Primer) and some languish in unwatched ignominy. Now I'm faced with two choices: send the films back, unwatched, after wasting nearly a month of new films. Or, hold on to them a little longer because I am omgtotally going to watch them now, for reals. Right. So what's your queue drama? Is it ambitiously overflowing or pathetically empty? Are you constantly sending discs back to find out just how many "unlimited" is in a single month? Or does that copy of The Bourne Identity have a two-inch layer of dust on it? Vent - it's good for the soul. |

I say keep them forever. Dust is good. Sadly I don't have a queue; I live in a perpetual state of being behind on watching stuff. Though I do still hit Premiere when I need to cram some research in.
I never realized that's how "queue" is spelled. Wacky.

Your dilemma is exactly why I can't bring myself to have a queue (useful word for Scrabble)....I already feel guilty about the pile of unread books at my house, and adding movies to the clutter might cause an avalanche.

I like Q'd better. Watch Gilliam, send back Shakespeare light. That credo has served me well thus far.

Well, it depends on your definition of "dilemma." I've had to put my queue on hold, because I can check out one DVD at a time per day for free at the campus media library. Good problem to have I guess. But my friend has put a rental ban on me until I sit down and watch all 3 hours of Martin Scorsese's 'The Aviator.'
