I did not realize that Netflix still did that. That was a pretty good deal back in the old days.

In the end, nobody gives two shits about either version of "The Parent Trap.." It's a kid's movie. I suppose delusional queens might find it to be a super important film in cinematic history. That's just plain creepy.

I wonder if come October, Netflix is going to be
flooding the market with DVDs of obscure movies.

As to the original post, now I know FOR SURE that
I'm not imaginary. Yesterday, I got my passport
card in the mail. The booklet should be here any
day. There's no realer real ID than a USA passport.

I hope that Netflix "floods the market", instead of throwing out all of
those good DVD's. If they are cheap, I will buy some of them.
Responding to you, David, and GM in one post:

A couple of months ago, I was finally booted off of Mom's streaming
Netflix when they started cracking down on password sharing. I saw that
Netflix DVD via mail was getting shut down at the end of September, so I
figured I'd sign up again for the last few months and ride it out.

I've been enjoying a number of older and more obscure movies. I get two
discs out at a time, and next up is "The Parent Trap" for the kids film
I watch with Sophia every weekend (the movie is not on streaming
Netflix, only DVD). The other, which I just sent in, was "National
Lampoon's Animal House", and I'm not sure what they are sending me now,
but I have a list for them to pick from.

Are all y'all still sending out DVDs in the US? Y'all must have
lightning fast Internet. No need to slum it!

Those were the good old days. I'd get foreign films and art films. Nobody thought we'd be seeing internet speeds capable of streaming a movie. These days nobody has DVD players.
I used to love Hong Kong movies.

Redbox wants to buy the Netflix DVD business, but Netflix rejected
the offer.
