In reply to Blockbuster Appears on TiVos Today
The interface is going to have 500 pictures of the boxes for "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past", and "27 Dresses" but I won't be able to find "Run Lola Run" anywhere. When I finally end up picking some movie I didn't even really want to see, out of frustration, I am going to wait 10 minutes to finish the transaction. While I am waiting, they are going to put a pop-up on the screen to get me to buy Butterfingers and Popcorn.

@suburbancowboy: When the movie finally finishes downloading, it will actually turn out to be a copy of Munich. You'll immediately call Blockbuster and "return" the movie. You'll even be generous (read: too exasperated to care) and not demand the refund you deserve. Several weeks later, they'll call you about the movie you rented, claiming you never returned it. They will demand you pay a "re-server-ing fee."
