I haven’t gotten into Netflix yet, or any other methods of watching movies at home, but I’ve watched many downloaded films at home (my father’s doing, not mine) and truth be told, I can’t remember the last time I went out and rented a movie. And that used to be something I did at least once a week. In fact, it used to be one of my favourite activities before I discovered alcohol (or rather, what being drunk is like). There’s no doubt that video stores are in serious shit, as are record stores, and bookstores, and any other store that isn’t the internet. In a pitch-perfect spoof, the Harvard grads over at The Onion have made a mock news report about how renting is just oh so out of style. Check it out BELOW.

Haven't rented a movie in a couple of years. I just buy them, on average one movie a week, and I've got at least 10 that I haven't had a chance to watch. |

THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY
I like that. I love The Onion.
I hate renting, just because it's five bucks for ONE movie due back in a couple days, when on Netflix I can keep it as long as I want, and I pay about twenty bucks for roughly 20 movies a month. |

I still rent from video stores; have done for over 20 years. It's not much hassle going for a walk (you lazy fucks) or a drive to pick up a few $1 buck movies.
I'll watch movies on my PC, too, but the choice to go out or not is good to have. |

I can tell you how many times I've actually rented in my entire 25+ years: ONCE.
And I stand by that sentiment. I spurn--no, I *protest*--the idea of no more book/music/movie stores.
Yeah, I know, a lot of good that'll do for me or for anyone else, but I still stand by my opinion. |

I use Netflix. Have for about two years. Before I moved though I still rented videos about once a week. It's kind of an experience and it's nice when you're not sure what you're looking for or in the mood for. |
