I just started using Netflix. I was a die hard Blockbuster fan for the longest time, mostly because I'm a big fan of instant gratification. However, lately I've found that Blockbuster's selection is going down hill and more and more of the movies I rent are skipping. Netflix seems like the obvious solution.

So, one of the first movies I rented was Sahara, which has been out on DVD for a while now but I had never seen it. I figured that it was based on one Clive Cussler's best novels and it had to be good... there is some faulty logic for you. I guess that Mathew McConaughy isn't a bad choice to play Dirk Pitt, but obviously they didn't look very hard since he was also the executive producer of the movie. I guess what bugs me the most is that they didn't really follow the book at all. They switched up the order of events and even created a new ending that just wasn't plausible. I'm not saying that the book was completely plausible; I just think that it was a lot easier to believe what was happening in the book than it was in the movie.

Anyway, so far Netflix isn't so bad.
