Netflix's most profitable fan
I know I should be ashamed of myself, but it took me 18 days to return my latest Netflix. I am on the 3-out plan, and so far this month, I have rented only three movies from Netflix. I returned two today. Contrast that to February, in which I got eight movies from Netflix.

I have you beat. I am on the 2 out at a time plan, and I have held the Pirates of the Carribean bonus disk since late December, 2006. Still haven't watched it.
ReplyDeleteI find that I go through phases. I am on the 3-out plan, and sometimes I go through 15 movies or more. Sometimes I even upgrade my plan and see more than that in a month. Other times, I hardly watch any, and my 3-out plan movies just sit around. I haven't watched a Netflix movie in maybe 2-3 weeks. I hate it when this happens. I always feel "better" when I am cycling a high volume of films.
ReplyDeleteI had Transamerica out for three and a half months. I cycled through the other two of my three-out plan with my usual regularity, but it took that long to get into the mood to watch that movie. (And I really enjoyed it, once I finally got around to it.)
ReplyDeletei am on the ONE-out plan and have had Hearts & Minds (1974) in my possession for 21 days. that's another one you have to be in the mood to watch. expensive rental!
ReplyDeleteThe trick is to remember this isn't an all-or-none proposition. If you aren't watching a movie, after a week or two just return it. You can always ask for it back later.
ReplyDeleteTake it from someone who had a movie out for several months, this mindset works much, much better.
True. But my queue is full of Movies I Must See Before I Die, so I can't skip any of them.
