Ah yes, its summer time, and the great movies are coming out to shine. Heres what Im looking forward to (in no particular order):
- Transformers- Revenge of the Fallen
- Public Enemies
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
- Inglorious Bastards
- Funny People
- D-9
- Zombieland
- 2012
- Nottingham (even though it comes out in November, Im excited for Robin-based films)
Theres some others coming out later on that look interesting, like Sherlock Holmes and the remake of Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey as Scrooge, but thats not what this is about. There were more, but the bigger-hits like Wolverine and Star Trek already came and went. Plus, there are probably a few coming out that I havent heard of it.
I know I’ll be seeing Transformers for sure at some point next week. Im pretty excited for it. I really enjoyed the first one.

Well, as I stated previously, I got the confirmation e-mail Tuesday morning at 11:00am that Ghostbusters had been shipped. It is now Thursday, and my mailbox was disappointingly devoid of any ghosts, or their fellow busters. It stinks! I have the entire day off tomorrow, and I cant do any busting.
So I say damn you Gamefly, damn you to the very heart of hell! While I love you, I hate how slow your service is. You claim to have this instant postal-checking system, where the post office scans my games so you know when I sent them back, yet it usually takes about four-five business days for me to hear that you received it. Then it takes three business days to ship a game to me. LUDICROUS!!!
Netflix usually has a day of processing time. For example, I sent back a DVD today. Tomorrow afternoon I will get an e-mail saying they received it, then another e-mail within an hour saying “we shipped your next movie”, and it will be in my mailbox on Saturday.
So whats the solution Gamefly? How can you make me a happy consumer? The answer is quite simple…be like Netflix, and kindly open a distribution center in Albany. If Netflix can do it, Im sure you can too. Either that, or I may very well have to move to Pittsburgh. But then again, I wouldnt want to be anywhere near that Crosby-infested area…
