Well, I did it.

My two week trial with Netflix commenced toward the end of last week. There were a couple movies I wanted to see, but I didn't want to pay full price. I am too lazy to use the conventional video store, as I suck at returning videos.

So far I've seen Tokyo Godfathers and Millenium Actress, both are anime movies written and directed by Satoshi Kon, who is also responsible for Paranoia Agent.

Way cool flicks ... I don't think either of them would translate well to a live-action movie (Tokyo Godfathers might, in a Three Men and a Baby kind of way, but it would be terribly mis-cast).

Millenium Actress uses a very neat little trick for the memoir sequences (which comprise most of the film). Very neat.

Oh, and as far as netflix goes? I already upgrade my membership to two DVDs in hand at the same time.
