Lost Netflix

It seems we lost one of our Netflix movies. We can't remember seeing it in a month. We usually have one or two movies rotating through on a regular cycle but the third can take a while to watch (like Hotel Rwanda, Helvetica, or maybe some other various documentaries) so it's not uncommon to not watch our third movie within a month.

We might have accidentally thrown it out in the recycling bin along with our junk mail.

The problem is I don't want to accept that it's lost and pay the $20 or whatever it is, mainly because it's not a good movie. If I ever find it I won't want to be stuck with it. If it was a descent movie I'd have no problem because I would know that if I found it I might watch it a few times. Maybe even make a proper-looking DVD case for it.

It's Tropic Thunder. There, I said it. Who knows how long I can hold out without "buying" the movie. I'm not happy about this.

Update: After biting the bullet, I paid for the DVD on Netflix but then got this wonderful message: "If you find the lost DVD within one year, please return it to us for a refund." That's awesome, exactly what I would have hoped for but never expected. How cool!
