I re-upped my subscription to NetFlix (sorry, no link: I’m annoyed with them) and have been catching up on stuff: I took the two-at-a-time option, one for me, one for the young’uns.
Things have been proceeding nicely, as I finally got to start watching the Lord of the Rings series. I had seen the first a while back, so I reviewed it, then watched the second, and was all prepared to see the Return of the King [DVD][book] this weekend.
But no. The fine print is that I get two-at-a-time, with a maximum of four in a month. Now, they were either gracious or deceptive in comping us several titles this month: we saw a lot more than four. I’m not sure if this is a miscue on their part (in sending out too many DVDs) or a clever ploy to get me to upgrade, since they see I have not rated the last of the trilogy and can deduce I haven’t seen it.
