Now some of you might be wondering why I'm complaining. After all, don't they have video stores in Germany? Yes, yes they do. But they are strange. Let me tell you why: In the U.S. the normal period for a rental is something like 3 - 5 days. In Germany, it's more like a few hours. You're expected to watch the movie and return it after you're done with it. Sure, you can keep it till the next day, but this will be double or sometimes triple the cost. Crazy isn't it?
This isn't as big an issue as finding movies I want to watch that are in English anyways, particularly new releases which don't come out until (sometimes) a year after their US debut, and then sometimes not at all if the film isn't a cheesy blockbuster. Guess I'll just have to raid Divxmoviesonline again and hope I can find something that isn't a cam or a glitchy file.
On a side note I did get a good laugh last year when I was walking through Videoworld (Germany's Blockbuster Video) and I saw that- not only did they have a section for "stoner films"- but in it, sandwiched between Cheech n' Chong and Detroit Rock City was Lord of the Rings. You know, because Legolas LOVES the herb.
