Movie download rental fail :(

[olmue]

Son 2 read Hoot, by Carl Hiassen, and really liked it. Said he wanted to see the movie. Well, the library didn't have it (! How can that be??). So we thought we'd try itunes. Fail! You can buy it but not rent it. You can order the DVD from Blockbuster as a rental--um...why would anyone want to do that when they can drive to Blockbuster faster? We came up with several other options, none of which were rent-download-able. So, we are sad.

I think we have found another one, but still. Moviepeople, I want to legally give you my money. Why won't you take it??

Do you have onDemand on your cable? We rent movies through there all the time. We also use the Zune Marketplace on the XBox. LOVE the Xbox for that reason. Movies and TV shows galore. BTW, Hoot was a wonderful family movie. My son really enjoyed watching it.

With our kids it's all or nothing, so the last time we moved, we did not replace the TV. So, no cable. (Srsly, it's hard to pull them away from even just the computer.)

The trailer looked good--I'm hoping we can find a physical DVD to rent somewhere.
