there was some oohing and aahing about blockbuster's plan to take on netflix the other day, but i have to say that i'm still quite happy with netflix. i don't see how blockbuster plans to counter the depth of the netflix catalog by relying on its stores, which are typically stocked high with the hits of the day and thin on the more interesting stuff.

today i got my first wrongly-packaged dvd. instead of groove, i got bubble boy. (that's okay, i had already reported groove lost in the mail. it had gotten delivered to a neighbor, and took extra time to find its way to me. so the replacement is already in the mail. and now i get to watch bubble boy!)
