the biggest sadler of them all

Netflix doesn't think people enjoy Jean-Claude Van Damme?

What’s the deal? My rental of a Jean-Claude Van Damme classic “Cyborg” isn’t at a local DVD shipping center?? Of the 100’s of DVDs I’ve rented from Netflix, I’ve never had this issue… and I’ve rented some crappier movies I am sure!

E-mail from Netflix:

Dear jason,

CYBORG was not available today at your local shipping center. Instead, we will be shipping this DVD from San Jose, CA on the next business day. As usual, you will receive an email letting you know we shipped your DVD.

I’m not really that pissed, just surprised…

From CBC.ca:

Don LaFontaine, the man who provided the sonorous voice for more than 5,000 movie trailers, died Monday at age 68.

Who will do all the movie trailers now??
