Forgotten Movies

Yes, we all love them, but did you ever stop to wonder how much extra money you spend on movies per month? That's right, go ahead and add up all those ticket receipts, with overpriced theater food, Block Buster receipts and cable On Demand movie charges, plus taxes of course. Then, go to the library. Yes, the good 'ol library. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, many of us forget that such a place even exists, and more so, that for most of us, we pay to keep those places going.

Recently, I've resorted to getting movies there, rather than paying anywhere from $.99 to $3.99 to rent just one video. And if you order through your cable service, it's likely that you'll only be able to to view your movie for 24 hours. It's true that some libraries have short lists, or that if you happen to be a huge movie buff, that no matter how big the selection, you've seen everything they have, or have you? And in many cases, there are not very many new titles available, but it wouldn't hurt to look, would it?

In the past two weeks, I've watched at least ten movies for the first time that I picked up from the library. Yes, I know, I have too much time on my hands. But consider that escapism through a well told story, which I don't have to actually read, is better than the alternative. And I keep my money in my pocket at the same time, so it's double the reward.
