I'm not getting it to come up, and I've never had that problem before. Does anyone know if they pulled it down for now, or if they were maybe forced to?
I totally agree. Internet addiction can be scary. A relative of mine was addicted for a while. We'd ask her if she wanted dinner, then have to remind her an hour or two later that she never ate. We'd even put the food next to her, but it would just go cold. I know there were a few days where she didn't eat at all. Didn't have time--got to send messages! Then when we managed to get her off, her metabolism was all messed up and she's totally out of shape now. Not to mention that she was a total monster anymore--she had no idea how to communicate with civility for a long time. Even today, she says she didn't have an addiction. At least with alcohol or drugs you can have scary black-outs or wake up in a puddle of vomit one day and realize that you've got a problem.
I would be happy to pay upwards of $20 for the movies that just can't be found at Wally World anymore. Region 1 official USA DVDs of Flash Gordon are going for upwards of $70 on Amazon. You can get a Brazilian pirated copy for $27. For movies that can be found in the store, I'd be more likely to buy them there if the cost online is upwards of $20. I haven't bought (or download) a new movie for myself in some time, though, other than purchasing Lord of the Rings. The quality just isn't there anymore for the majority of what's coming out. I would use this service for the old movies almost exclusively.
