The coolest invention

I have discovered the coolest invention, or at least one that belongs in the top ten. Tonight Meredith and I decided to rent a movie...from a movie machine. Just around the corner from our apartment is a little kiosk where you can insert your bank card or movie club card, choose a movie, and return it at the same place. You are charged based on how long you keep the film. Six hours is just 1E50.

When we arrived, we found that it is more expensive to use a bank card than the Cinebank member card, so we went inside the store and Meredith signed up for an account. The guy who worked there was nice enough to show us how the machine worked and it is amazing. There is a huge selection, and you can search by genre, actor, or title. If you make a mistake and select the wrong movie, you can return it within 15 minutes without being charged.

So now, in order to improve my French slang, I am off to watch American Pie in French!
