But by all accounts Peter was a very depressed person period, and Barrie tho somewhat childish was attracted to fragile women. perhaps child-like women <BR/><BR/>anyway a couple of really negative reviews were out there. <BR/><BR/>Depp also got a few bad reviews for "Blow" --simply for aging in the film !Bobby D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02205693811392933385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-2816098384753876062007-06-13T23:06:00.000-05:002007-06-13T23:06:00.000-05:00And the sad fact is that their online service is a...And the sad fact is that their online service is apparently not much better if my best friend is to be believed. Okay, I can understand not having a lot of older movies in the store, there being limited space. That doesn't mean I like it, of course. But then, the online service?! It doesn't make sense to me.Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-28168890639089592192007-06-13T21:42:00.000-05:002007-06-13T21:42:00.000-05:00Yes, Blockbuster: Boo!

I was told that they don't have room in the stores to keep so many tities.<BR/><BR/>"Working Girl"?! It's kind of a classic. I wasn't looking for some obscure subtitled film from Taiwan or something. And seriously, a DVD case takes up, what?, a half-inch of space on a shelf?<BR/><BR/>These days, I only go to Blockbuster to buy used movies to add to my collection. Otherwise, it's all Netflix, all the time. Not that Netflix is perfect, but in principle, it's better than Blockbuster.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06629186602501399976noreply@blogger.com
