Don't you all adore Netflix?

http://www.netflix.com

It's perhaps my favorite service site. Your choice of DVDs, from the wildly 
popular to the obscure, sent to your mailbox for a set fee each month. I 
pay about $20 bucks a month to watch about 8 DVDs. They almost all are in 
excellent condition and all have been watchable. No more driving in the 
rain to Cameron Village, then having to stare gloomily at the leavings of 
other customers while the fluorescents suck the IQ from your brain.

There's a whole category on the main page for Gay and Lesbian titles. I 
don't know how extensive it is, but I did get "Hedwig" from them. Their 
Japanese film collection is rather shallow, except for anime, but it 
doesn't rate a top category listing either.

In stock now at Netflix.

Between Blockbuster and Netflix, it's hard to imagine being able to succeed 
with an independent rental outlet.
