Wow. That is cheap. Are those national chains?

Cinemark is. The other one is The New 400. It was one of the first movie theaters in the Midwest. It was recently repurchased and renovated. The screens aren't that big, but it's nearby, the people who work there aren't creeps, and most of the customers are from that neighborhood and Loyola University. And they serve adult beverages.

So you've been satisfied with your Netflix experience? I've wondered, but never tried it.

I recently joined the Blockbuster club, and I’ve been surprisingly satisfied with them. I recently got a Blu Ray player, and renting those discs costs $2.99 a day at the stores. But I can get them all from the club for $10 a month and keep one until I have time to watch it. The returns are really fast (I’m in suburban Dallas, so there’s a warehouse center nearby). It’s generally one about 3 days between mailing one back and getting the next one.

And one thing that beats Netflix is that instead of mailing a disc back, you can return it to any Blockbuster store and trade it for one that’s on the shelf for free. The store sends it back for you, then the instant you check the store’s disc back in, they mail you the next one in your queue. It gives you instant gratification for every other movie you watch, and you can squeeze in more movies by not having to wait for the mail return.
