Lookit these noobs who have never gotten the hunters from the next hut over to pantomime the cave drawings their grandfather saw once. Acting troupes? You are spoiled rotten.
You silly kids have got it too good. I remember when the only Netflix distributor was based outta Alexandria, Egypt. You sent away for the next scroll in the book you were reading; back in my day, movies were known as books and you had an unlimited budget. And George Lucas didn't come around 20 years later and try to change what you'd imagine. And it could take months to get the next scroll, cause Rome was just a goat herding village back then and they hadn't built the roads yet. I tells ya, you haven't lived until you've read Gilgamesh in the original cuneiform. Now get off my lawn!
I've been with NetFlix since nearly the beginning and I think they've only done DVDs.

DeletePlease...everyone knows the real early adopters of Netflix were having reels of film delivered.
ReplyDeletePfft, you mean you've never had a Netflix zoetrope delivered via Pony Express? Poseur.
DeleteI remember when Netflix sent acting troupes to perform in the round, and it could take weeks for them to get there by caravan!

DeleteI switched to Amazon after it took F-O-R-E-V-E-R to get the Zapruder film. I know it was a new release but come on!

ReplyDeleteBest comment section ever.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he meant the public library?
ReplyDeleteSure, he's a jerk . . . but there was Home Film Festival in 1992, and Video Mailbox before that.
