(no subject)

I'm a Netflix habitue, but today I ran across references to a couple of other video-rental-by-mail service that might appeal. Nicheflix specializes in multi-region DVDs, including Asian and European films, anime, cult TV, and horror. And Facets Multimedia, a longstanding distributor and service provider for cinephiles, has a rental department.

On a completely different subject, I've been browsing through John December's Live Simple: Radical tactics to reduce the complexity, costs, and clutter of your life. It seems to come from almost exactly the perspective I'd like to have.

Yeah, movies suck. I checked out Greencine at one point, but found that (a) although they clearly had a lot of movies that Netflix didn't, none of them seemed to be movies I wanted to rent, and (b) they didn't have the ability to enqueue movies that aren't yet available, which I use pretty heavily. So, oh well.
