Usually wait for movies to be on HBO or other satellite channels. Recently ordered "The Road" through Amazon. For $9 it was less than going to the theater and can watch it as many times as I want.

I send the lemurs out with a couple of dollars and don't ask too many questions about where they actually get the DVDs.

We'd already dropped the discs on the plan. It's faster to just get those in person, and they never have the new releases.

If you want to rent a disc, go Redbox. But honestly, if you want to stream, go Amazon. You can rent it direct to your TV and it's good for thirty days.

Oh and if you buy a blu-ray disc from Amazon for your own collection they will stream it to your TV for free (same thirty days as if you rented it) so you don't have to wait for the disc to show up to watch it.

Netflix streams 'The Rockford Files' directly to my TV. I'm only halfway through the 120+ episodes. I love Jim & Rocky & Dennis & Beth (cutest lawyer ever) & Angel & a multitude of guest stars that I get to check out on IMDB to see what they're doing. Btw, did you know that Avery Schreiber is dead? He was a funny man, played a hot headed Armenian on one of the episodes.

Last time I rented it was BetaMax. By the way, that was also my favorite dinosaur. During my favorite decade for music. I would watch movies while eating breakfast and drinking my favorite hot beverage. While feeding table scraps to my first pet. On artificial turf.
