Have any of you seen the movie "3:10 to Yuma?" It has come to my attention today that this is the world's greatest movie, eclipsing Kevin James' "Sweat the Small Stuff." How, you may ask, have I come to this realization and what is my rational?
On Saturday we decided to test iTunes new movie rental feature and opted for "3:10". I was slightly disappointed when it took over 2 hours to download but still enjoyed the film when it was finally ready. I was MORE than slightly disappointed when I learned today that it cost 600 hrivna in internet fees for the privilege. For those of you who don't stay up on exchange rates, that is about $125 (or almost 20% of my monthly salary). Yes, that's right - if you add in the $4.26 I paid to rent the movie, it cost me $130 to see this flick.
This means that from a strictly financial standpoint, "3:10 to Yuma" must be the greatest movie of all time. Even better than the Kevin James Comedy Central special DVD which runs about $100-$120 on Amazon for a new copy.

So, would you recommend it?
ReplyDeleteSorry your natural interest in a western turned so pricey! I once thought I was getting a deal from amazon.uk, but it turned into the world's greatest book.
Next time you're interested in a flick; I'll mail you one and save you money.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, I would recommend it to you. It's a pretty good flick.
ReplyDeleteMike, you could probably pay half that much and get a Turk to smuggle it in. It may not take as long as it did to download either.

ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! I'm sorry brother. Back when I first moved to Seattle I signed up for dial up internet access. What I didn't know, was that the dial up number that I picked that was in a town a few miles away and with the same area code was actually considered long distance. Unfortunately, this was also when Napster was considered "legal". After a month of every night clicking on as many songs as I could and going to bed (sometimes to wake up and find that my long list of songs hadn't finished downloading yet) I received a pretty hefty phone bill. Actually, I ended up getting 2 bills both for about a grand each. Luckily, I was able to cut them in half and only had to pay $1000.
ReplyDeleteThose songs never "hurt so good"! Live and learn. Maybe it should be called $310 to Yuma!
Dang, Brother! That is a lot to pay for free songs!
ReplyDeleteWe had huge bills like that when Sarah's cell got stolen but that is kind of off topic.
One time, I cut my credit card bill in half and sent it to them, but the next time I tried to use it, the maitre 'd cut the card in half.
