I have no idea how I'd never seen it until that point, and it's really is pretty awesome. Buckaroo Banzai is one of those movies that movie nerds will judge your level of commitment based on whether or not you've seen it. Pulp Fiction isn't one of my favorites, but I understand its importance as a quirky, very smart, well-done movie that actually resonated with a mainstream audience in ways that those kind of things usually don't. As for the ad for Blockbuster movie pass, well...to each their own, I guess. I prefer to have a physical copy of media I enjoy. Besides the fact that if something goes wrong with my connection, I'm SOL, there's also the fact that those metrics are TRACKED by movie companies. It's not that I necessarily care that people know what I'm watching, but I do care that they use that info to try and sell me things, and screw that noise. But hey, to each their own. There are definitely upsides to rental programs, they're just not for me.Greymattersplathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027366017051654234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500397037297156063.post-45482018117870834392011-12-20T21:14:15.379-08:002011-12-20T21:14:15.379-08:00When I was a kid, I had insomnia far worse than I ...When I was a kid, I had insomnia far worse than I do now, and it was quite difficult because I grew up in a conventional family where certain movies and channels were off limits. I would sneak downstairs and watch TV to try to get through the long hours of the night awaiting the sunrise. Now granted it would always come with a risk but seemed worth it due to some of the bazaar movies I was able to see. My favorite was a movie called The Stuff, where after being marketed drives everyone into zombies. Scared me silly and although considered a B movie at the time as a kid it had an impact on me so it has always stayed with me in my mind as one of those weird freaky movies that I would not watch now as it would ruin the magic. There are many really good movies out there that I would like to get my hands on and for the longest time that was very difficult. It may sound bizarre but I like movies that have such an effect on me that they produce nightmares, as I know the movie was good enough to have influenced my subconscious. Buckaroo Banzai was fabulous and my brother named his top favorite movie when he saw it as a kid. Now Pulp Fiction is movie worth buying even though with the Blockbuster Movie Pass I no longer need to buy movies, I bought Pulp Fiction. A colleague of mine who also works at Dish Network turned me on to this fantastic movie lover’s madhouse of fun. It is a package but not an ordinary package. It has a movie package it comes with but that is just the tip of the iceberg. I enjoy thousands of titles from Dishonline as well as any games, TV shows or Blu-ray disks for no extra charge. Why this is significant is because I was overpaying with Netflix and rental fees and that was getting old. I love getting old movies when I want them and the answer lies within the biggest and most elaborate movie package I have ever seen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16482950532268328191noreply@blogger.com
