Despite some of the things I’ve read, I went ahead and got a Netflix subscription. We don’t have cable, the movie rental places closest to us are very slim on anything but current flicks, and I wanted to make available to H.o.p. documentaries/educational DVDs without having to purchase them.
We must be very dull people because I loaded up the queue with movies and all of them show as being available now. Our first three choices are a Magic School Bus film for H.o.p. on bugs (at his request), a fun film for him and a sci fi film for me, Rocketship X-M, which I’ve wanted to see ever since I did the painting of Richland Theater’s Rocketship X-M float entry in an Atomic Frontier Days Parade. I’ve filled the queue with documentaries and old Foreign films, some classics we’ve not seen in a while or never seen and a very few new films. Maybe that’s why they’re all showing as available. Science and Nature documentaries and older foreign fare aren’t as popular as I imagined they might be. I had this idea that one would have to wait in line for a while to get films like The Bicycle Thief, Cat Women of the Moon and Walking with Prehistoric Beasts. Not so!
