So apparently, the library actually has a pretty good list of movies you can rent for free. Crazy how all those things people would say about the library being a great resource back when we were living it up like it was Q1 2008 turned out to be true now that we’re mumbling incoherently and rocking back and forth in Q2 2009.
I rented The Ben Stiller Show from the library of all places and was stunned at how good it was and also that the library would even carry such a thing. I was all set to blame my parents for me never having seen it before, what with them depriving me of cable my entire childhood, a decision that cripples me socially to this day, but apparently it aired on Fox and I must have been too young to catch it the one season it aired. It could not have been more 90s if it dressed up in flannel and complained about AOL 2.0, but the concepts for the sketches were amazing. Comedy as art masquerading as information. Yey libraries!
