I've never seen 24 either but from what i've been told I really need to check it out. Perhaps if it hits Netflix I'll check it out for sure. The other Guys was Ok -0 I can't stand Will Farrell in the least. he's the most one-dimensional actor ever.

Despicable Me on the other hand was great.

Nice edit on CouchPotatoClub JL:)
I have been reading about the decline of DVD. I hope that never occurs. DVD's are such a big improvement over VHS. They don't degrade in quality and offer crisp visuals and superb sound. I really enjoy them. I haven't seen a Blue-ray movie yet.

lol Well I wasn't trying to make it a sly stealth edit or anything. Just had to take the BD part of the complete series section. Amazon had it listed for blu-ray, just I didn't click through far enough to realize it was only a place holder for the future release of it. Thus, it shouldn't be there.

Also, decline of DVD? I haven't read anything about that. If anything, it would just mean Blu-ray is taking over (though DVD still isn't declining). Also, blur, if you like DVD cause of it's crisp visuals and superb sound, then you DEFINITELY need to check out blu-ray if you have an HDTV and a Blu-ray player. Those seriously look and sound good.

I actually enjoyed The Other Guys. It was pretty funny. Not a great movie or anything, but provided some good laughs. Despicable Me was definitely better though.

I'm not familiar with Red Box...

Ok I've now looked into it and see that it's one of the movie rental vending machines. I still say that despite the convenience of them, they'll go the way of the Dodo in just a few short years. We all have to face it. Our society wants information and entertainment at their disposal and they want it right now without having to go anywhere. None of these physical rental concepts are going to last much longer. My only hope is that I'll still be able to purchase the physical discs should I choose to. I haven't gotten to over 600DVDs and 150 BluRay discs by accident. I like looking at my library.

I don't think RedBox will be going the way of the dodo anytime soon. That thing is hugely popular here in my area. Granted, yes it's not as convenient as Netflix (ie I actually have to leave the house). But you eventually leave at some point anyways. Say you go out to get something to eat, swing by RedBox for the night's entertainment as well.

On top of that, I've actually noticed there are sometimes movies you can get through RedBox sooner than Netflix. The latest example: The Other Guys. I notice on Netflix it won't even be available until next month. Then no telling how long you'll have to wait to actually get it after that. On the other hand, I actually saw it at a RedBox just yesterday. Granted this isn't always the case, but I have seen it on several occasions.

Even Blockbuster is getting into the vending machine rental thing now.

Yeah RedBox won't go away for the reason JL just said...you get your movies sooner than Netflix. Movie Studios have a block on Netflix (or a deal) where they can't release movies on their services for 28 days after release.

They do this because the studios make the most money off of DVD/BluRay sales. And if they went straight to Netflix, no one would buy them. Netflix has to agree to it, or the movie studios will pull the licenses and not give them permission to distribute.

RedBox, however, has no such restrictions, since the studios can still get a cut of the profit for the rentals.
