You watched that too, huh?
The blatant editing of interview audio to make it sound like George was saying "Faul" was somewhat insulting. 

<3 Netflix.
Not to mention "Rita's" identity.  Even if one where blissfully ignorant of everything else in that focumentary, that had to hit a dead false tone.

I wouldn't mind Netflix. However, does one HAVE to watch the rented movie right then or can it be saved for an hour or two, a day, a week, etc for future play?? Their site doesn't seem to answer that.

It's not a rental, per se.  What I do sometimes is start or select a movie, and if I leave I can come back to it, start from where I left off, or play it from the beginning.  It stores  your most recent selections.

However, my biggest gripe about Netflix is that the online selection is pretty limited.  Very little in terms of the classics.  I'm actually considering canceling it because they just don't have as many "good" movies as I like.  Pity, really.  I'd pay a little extra to have a better online selection.

I wonder if it records your MAC address or something similar.  I've never used it, but I bet someone has found out what kind of tracking 'cookie' they use for rentals.

Pretty sure it does, regardless of whether or not you use a game console (like a Wii) or laptop/desktop.

Thor-

You can stream movies anytime...start, stop, then start again where you left off whenever...makes no difference, and with a good internet connection, takes only a matter of seconds.

I watch Netflix through my Wii on my bigscreen tv, and I love it. If I start watching something, and get distracted with the kids, chores, whatever, I can just turn it off, do what needs done, then start it again later when there's time.

 

And we'll be able to consolidate one more bill, then!

Rented from a Redbox tonight.  Stupid touchscreen was completely messed up.  I kept having to start over because the screen wouldn't correctly identify where I was touching.
