Question about mail order dvd rental places.

(x-posted from [livejournal.com profile] murasaki_1966)

We are thinking of joining one of the Netflix-like services in Australia.

Do any of you subscribe to such a service? How do you find the service? Is it worth it?

Basically, I have a lot of films I want to watch, but I don't always have time to watch them within the time that the DVD store lends them for. I need a bit more flexibility. I tend to buy things for this reason. So, in an effort to curb my DVD habit, I'm looking at joining such a service. Then I can work out if I actually like the film enough to buy it.

Thanks very much for that. I've passed it on to [livejournal.com profile] ferkster and we'll see what we can come up with.

You're in with a good chance, I reckon. Have you written radio plays before? Do you think it's a very different thing to the other kind?

They've written radio plays before, and they got produced. I can recite whole sections....

I've got a good feeling about this...

We actually won the FBI Live Radio Play competition twice in a row (our plays were performed live in the Sydney Opera House Drama Studio and broadcast by FBi - a Sydney community radio station.)

We've wanted to get back into radio - we have a serial we've been sitting on for ages. Not really adaptable to a one hour play format, but I'm sure we'll come up with something.
