How did that happen?
I signed up for a free trial of the Sainsbury's dvd online/postal rental thing today, because we're rather fed up with Screen Select being utterly pants - in the last month we've had about two DVDs from them, despite having sent them back promptly.
So, I started filling the order queue and had thrown on about 17 discs, the top two being the Tennant and Ledger Casanovas - I have an overwhelming desire to rewatch the Tennant/Russell T version, for obvious reasons, and want to see the movie version to see how it compares. It, like Pride and Prejudice, is one of those films that, no matter how good it might be, is pointless because the BBC had already done it to perfection.
Anyway, the order list recommends that you have at least 20 requests, so I delved back in to find a few more to add, and the next thing I knew there were 37 dvds on the list. 37! And I'm only planning on sticking with this for the duration of the trial (which expires on August 9th). Even at three discs at a time, that doesn't seem very feasable. It doesn't help that I've requested the entirety of House season one, which is about six discs. That might have to come off the list in favour of movies.
