instant dvd, originally uploaded by suddenly.
maybe i’ve been out of the advancements-in-movie-rental scene too long but i’m thrilled to have discovered this instant dvd rental kiosk around sydney. i’m a big fan of cutting out inept human contact whenever possible and this dvd dispensing machine won’t judge me for renting the hottie & the nottie.
you can get your movie in three easy steps:
1. cut a hole in a box — oh, wait, that’s for something else–1. pick a movie
2. swipe your credit card
3. take your dvd home and return it the next day
the titles they have a pretty current and decent. so far we rented:
the savages – luv laura linney and philip seymour hoffman
into the wild – two thumbs way up!
jane austen book club – fell asleep but was shocked to learn that was emily blunt and that she can’t speak french for shit
2 days in paris - julie delpy rocks my world!
AND currency exchange bonus: $2.99 aussie dollars = 2 bucks U.S. yeah, in your overcharging greedy face blockbuster!

Such a funny post! Yes, there is nothing worse than incompetent help…
And if you’re extremely lazy like me, you can do Netflix. Last movie I saw was 21 about MIT students that break Las Vegas with card-counting skills. My husband thinks it’s a phony story, but I think it’s true. Anybody know the TRUE story? The movie is based on a non-fiction book entitled, “Bringing Down the House,” but after some some books being exposed as fraud, I’ve become suspicious.

according to wikipedia and imdb, the film is based on a true story. this is the part that’s bullshit
Although the main characters upon which the film 21 is based were Asian, studio executives determined that “most of the film’s actors would be white, with perhaps an Asian female.” from “MIT Alumnus and ‘Busting Vegas’ Author Describe Experience of Beating the House,” The Tech
