In reply to the discussion: I'm not surprised that Blockbuster is in free fall [View all]Politicalboi
(15,189 posts)29. I have Netflix and Hulu Plus
And their movie selection for me is WTF? I never heard of these movies or the actors. I guess I need to spend more to get more. Thinking about canceling Hulu because I never watch it. But since I have been watching MSNBC for years instead of regular programming
a lot of the re-runs of Law and Order and CSI Miami are new to me. I also watch Dragnet, Hawaii Five-O and Mission Impossible. I get a lot of use out of old TV shows than movies.
Doesn't Netflix charge $7.99 per NEW movie? And then you have to mail it back whenever? Or is it $7.99 more a month and you don't have to do shit, and you can choose ANY or ALL the new movies for the $7.99 a month? Or would my total cost for Netflix would be $15.98 for unlimited NEW movies?

actually Redbox is growing. Some consumers can't afford subscription fees in their budget
