Jodorowsky's Dune (2014) - HD Trailer
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I find a movie called Jodorowsky's Dune. It's not a movie movie, it's a documentary about Jodorowsky's effort to make the movie, and some people recommend it. Can I see it? Netflix doesn't have it, but Amazon does. Amazon will sell you a digital copy for $10 or $15, which means that once you have purchased it you can stream it from their server anytime you want, and as many times as you want. Well, that's very nice, but I don't really want to buy it. We have a couple hundred DVD's here that I have watched once, and will probably never watch again. Is there any way to just rent it? Doesn't appear to be, but maybe that option will appear when I click the purchase button. Click, boom, you are now the proud owner of a Jodorowsky's Dune. Wait! No, cancel that! Sorry, this order cannot be cancelled as you have already started watching it. What? No, I haven't, you stupid machine. All I have it this stupid order page.
I poke around a bit trying to find a number to call and a message pops up telling me this order has been denied because of a problem with my credit card. Well, thank heaven for having a little grit in the gears. Still, I call, or they call me, and the nice person I talk to tell's me no worries, the order is dead, it was denied, and that was that. It is not going to come back to life when you fix the credit card problem. Good.
Then this morning I get an email from Amazon:
Amazon.comJust what I need a Zombie order. THIS DOES NOT INSPIRE CONFIDENCE.
