Movie Watching Is My Life - By: Jim Williams

I'm a gigantic movie watcher and I should have bought some stock in Hollywood Video because I am always there renting and taking back flicks for my high definition tv. The people at our local Pine Bluff store even know me by name. I am not ashamed though, I love movies, and they give me an escape from my long hard day at my job. One day after viewing my latest rental, I was channel flipping and I found some HD stations I didn't even realize I had. One of these was part of the pay per view feature through my cable Co.. I was growing with excitement as I browsed down the list of movies I haven't seen. Numerous of them weren't available at my DVD store because they were sold out. I found at minimal three of them I wanted to watch that weekend. I chose to settle on one just to see the difference in the DVD HD quality picture versus the pay per view flick. As soon as it started, I noticed a difference. Jeez, was I in trouble now, I no longer will have time to do the long "to do" list I have at home because I have discovered HD pay per view. After going through nearly every flick in the list, I had to go back to DVD store. It has been a long time since I visited the store and they were all worried because they didn't know what happened to their most common customer. I told the workers about my discovery and they were all grinning nodding their heads. I picked up five more movies and returned home. A few days later, I checked the high definition channel for pay per view movies and there were several new ones available. I was so happy that my cable company was on top of my needs and delivered such great flicks in quality high definition picture. I returned the flicks to the video store and returned to my television for movie watching. Having HD movies available with a few taps of my remote controller has helped me save time, money and gas. The high definition pay per view movies are cheaper than the ones at Blockbuster and I don't have to drive 10 miles all the time anymore. I visit my friends at the store nearly once a week now because that is all it takes for me to get what I need in between the time my cable company offers new movies for me to watch.
