This is just plain stupid!

Thread Starter 
I got this from the "Movie Answer Man" thing on the Chigago Sun-Times Roger Ebert section.

Quote:
"Be Kind--Rewind!" I've seen this label on rental DVD cases at my local Blockbuster. I asked a person who worked at Blockbuster why rewinding would be necessary on DVDs, and was told, "DVDs can be rewound so please rewind it." I asked the manager and he told me, "DVDs can be rewound like VHS." I e-mailed Blockbuster. They told me, "Most DVD players have a 'Rewind' button. What it does is spin the DVD the opposite direction from the play mode. It's similar to the rewind feature on a VCR." I emailed them and told them they were wrong, Blockbuster e-mailed me, "Sir, you are very wrong, please don't contradict what we say, we know more than you do about DVDs. Please don't e-mail us regarding this topic again." They were very rude. But I know that a DVD cannot be rewound.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!!

Nope. Watched under the right conditions, it's actually the sweetest homosexual romantic comedy ever made.

Blockbuster is never wrong! You can rewind DVDs! I've been rewinding one of mine for about three months now, but I'm assuming it's because they have so much data. But NEVER contradict Blockbuster. Now go out and rent the moving drama Illicit Desires 4.

Thing is, if I use the DVD player to rewind, that is more wait time to get the built-in coaster feature to free up.

Thank God for that. This thread had set my brain at a permanent 45 degree angle to the rest of my body.

I don't know about y'all, but I really hate it when I rent DVDs and they aren't rewound. You'd think that people would do what Blockbuster asks and rewind them.

Newsflash: Matsushita and Sony are teaming up with Blockbuster and coming out with a product in the next few days that will rewind your DVDs for you, saving your player from undue wear and tear that can be caused by rewinding your discs

True story, I walked by the living room where my Mom had just finished watching a dvd. She was staring at the remote and when I asked what she was doing she told me that she was trying to find the rewind button. And when I started laughing she kept insisting I tell her. I finally just said "Mom, Cds do not need rewinding and nether do DVDS"

Old people and new technology, not a good mix.

Was that the reaction to becoming a woman, or was it something else all together? wink

I got a letter from BB video for a SPy Game rental "extended viewing fee" so I call them and ask to speak to the manager. I tell him I havent stepped foot in a BB in 1 year and have cut up both my cards. He says the show I signed for it with picture I.D. and bought raisnets. I tell him I hate raisins and I have my Hollywood Video Recipt for Spy Game still so why the fuck would I rent it from you guys? He says "sorry are computer shows that u..." I hung up!!!
