I have to wonder why they even exist....
I'm literally surprised that all these movie "subscriptions" are even in existence. I'm stumped as to how ANYONE can watch enough movies to make these worthwhile.

My local video store (for example) rents most movies for a $1.50. Even if I went to the high side and said $2.00, that means that for $16 a month, I could rent 8 movies a month. Good God!

There are barely 8 movies a year that I really want to watch, sometimes not even that many. How is it possible for anyone to find enough time to consistently watch more than 8 movies a month? I must be missing something here. Do I have too much of a life?
