DVD Rentals into liquidation

Max is a sucker for the DVD Isle at Supermarkets. I think its a male thing, maybe hormones are pumped into the air to entice them over. I think he could spend at least half an hour perusing the £3 DVD selection. We buy masses of films, normally all pretty cheap refusing to buy something at full price. Our cellar shelves are bowing under the weight of the whole James Bond collection, and everything from Bourne to Hayao Miyazaki animations. You name it we have been tempted into buying it. We lend out so many DVD's that its become a family joke that we are like a rental store. So our customer base will be sad to hear that we are going into liquidation and what's more the stock is soon to be sold off via car boot sales and eBay. (The DVDs alone will probably clear the mortgage debt)
Instead we've taken to storing up masses of movies on our sky box and even more savvy watching films and documentaries via YouTube (as I write this I do wonder about the legality of films on YouTube) This week alone we have saved our selves £22 and had the pleasure of watching Nuts in May and Encounters at the end of the world. If you are prepared to have anything you view split up into many parts (seven for Werner Herzog) then its my new recommended form of viewing. Although I am careful to say here I don't condone the watching of pirate videos!
