J is getting annoyed with me. I’ve been neglecting our Netflix. We currently have three films (our maximum) in our possession. All three were added to the queue by yours truly. But I have little interest in viewing any of them any time soon. I’m too far gone, too consumed by the series I’m reading. The good news is that I’m more than halfway through the third book, with the fourth and last one ahead of me. I’ll be sad when I’ve finished…I’m trying to savor them now, despite wanting to rush through to find out what happens next. But still, afterwards I may be ready to take a break. To kick back and watch a few films. Beginning with “Italian for Beginners“, a Danish comedy. Though something’s just been brought to my attention. An alternative to Netflix called GreenCine. The blurbs on their web site sound promising:
“GreenCine carries the best selection of off-the-wall indie, arthouse and excellent DVD fare out there.”
“GreenCine is about diversity not monotony”
“Fascism sucks. On both ends of the spectrum. That’s why at GreenCine there’s something for everyone. We like anime, foreign, HK action and classics titles - and even an occasional blockbuster or two. If what you like to see if off-center, or dead center, in terms of taste, GreenCine is for you.”
We’ll see about that. Haven’t yet had a chance to do an exhaustive search on their site…to see if they carry the films on my list that Netflix doesn’t. I’ll report back with results later.
