I am a gigantic film watcher and I should have invested in some stock in Blockbuster because I am always there renting and returning flicks for my high definition television.
The people at our local Maplewood store even know me by name. I am not embarrassed though, I love movies, and they give me an escape from my long hard day at work.
One day after viewing my latest rental, I was channel surfing and I discovered many HD stations I didn't even realize I had. One of these was part of the on demand feature through my satellite provider. I was growing with joyfulness as I browsed down the list of movies I haven't seen.
Many of them weren't available at my DVD store because they were sold out. I found at least six of them I wanted to watch that night. I chose to settle on one just to see the difference in the DVD HD quality image versus the on demand film.
But once more, office desks, radiators No! That is behind me.
No more dullness, only movies and love and laughter, sex and fun.
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
As soon as it started, I detected a difference. Jeez, was I in trouble now, I no longer will have time to do the long chore list I have at home because I have discovered HD pay per view. After going through almost every movie in the list, I had to go back to my video store.
It has been a long time since I visited the store and they were all worried because they didn't know what happened to their most popular consumer. I told the workers about my discovery and they were all smiling nodding their heads.
I picked up five more movies and returned home. Several days later, I checked the high definition channel for pay per view movies and there were several new ones available. I was so joyful that my cable provider was on top of my needs and delivered such great flicks in quality high definition picture.
I returned the flicks to the video store and returned to my television for flick watching. Having HD movies available with a few presses of my remote has helped me save time, money and gas.
Now here this, now here this. Reveille. I repeat, reveille. Attention all hands. Because another cigarette butt has been found in the container of the Captain’s palm tree, there will be no movies again tonight. That is all.
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
The high definition pay per view movies are way less than the ones at Blockbuster and I don't have to drive 10 miles all the time anymore. I visit my friends at the store nearly once a week now because that is all it takes for me to get what I need in between the time my cable company offers new movies for me to watch.
