Movie Mishap

Nicole and I have enjoyed our subscription to Blockbuster Movies over the past year or so. In College Station, we had a Blockbuster store just down the road from us, which made switching out our movies really convenient. Unfortunately, there aren't any Blockbuster stores in Greenville (in fact, there's just one movie rental place as far as I can tell), so our only option for movies with Blockbuster is to receive them via mail - which, so far, has taken around 4-6 business days.

All this isn't really so bad, because Blockbuster recently updated their subscription plans to where you can only pay for by-mail service, not the mail and in-store service. It's a little bit cheaper and it fits our needs so we're happy with it.

Now - the real point of this post is to relate a movie mishap we had last night. The way Nicole and I handle our movie queue is to put a whole bunch of them into it at one time (say like 20-30 movies) and then wait until it gets low again to add more movies. Sometimes we like to watch kids movies, so we had some of those added. A few days ago we noticed our next movie we were to receive was Lilo and Stitch - "great!" I thought, "I've never seen that one!"

Unfortunately, we didn't receive Lilo and Stitch in the mail yesterday, but rather...Leroy and Stitch, another in the long line of Disney "straight to DVD classics" (along with the likes of The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea). Turns out in my rush to add movies to our queue, I had added the wrong movie with a deceptively similar title.

Needless to say, Nicole and I opted to not watch it and read Harry Potter books instead.
